For those seeking something special, Schoc chocolates in Greytown made a 1.9kg dark chocolate Easter egg for $350 and a 1.6kg bunny for $300. If if you are looking for someting a little more modest, a half-egg filled with dark and milk chocolates handmade by Napier chocolatiers Silky Oak could be the most expensive egg in Wellington, selling for $59.99 at the Kirkcaldie & Stains confectionery store.
These are the exceptions, in general Easter eggs are getting smaller. Most shops are not stocking eggs heavier than 400g. A jumbo 1kg egg customers were used to seeing at The Warehouse are longer offered, because of lower demand and community support for its removal, The Warehouse’s Nick Tuck said. “We received feedback from customers that it was not the politically correct thing to place an egg of that size in front of a child.”
