The Great Chocolate Easter Egg Tasting Test

You Love It. We Taste It.

At BeyondDutch, we’re all about exploring. Asking questions, looking for innovative ideas and eager to learn more and more.
When Easter came around, all the shops were fully stocked with seasonal sweets. We couldn’t help but notice a new trend: new and original flavours in chocolate easter eggs were emerging, ranging from candy-cane to cherry-beer. Our curiosity was piqued: with all these unique flavours, which one is truly the most delicious? And so our search for the best chocolate Easter egg began.

We set up a tasting test at the office. A gigantic bowl filled to the brim with 5kg of chocolate eggs, consisting of the craziest, most unique flavours we could find. And of course a detailed spreadsheet to keep score. Because at BeyondDutch, we address every matter with the highest level of professionalism… And because we’re just big nerds who love data.

After a very exciting two weeks of testing and tasting, the winners – and a clear loser – became apparent.
1. Sharing first place: milk chocolate-tompouce and milk chocolate-pumpkin spice. The first received extra points for its colourful pink & yellow design, and the latter was described as ‘true to the original autumnal drink’.
2. In second place: milk chocolate-macaron, with our communications intern being its biggest fan.
3. And last but not least, in third place: white chocolate-raspberry cheesecake. One of the sweetest flavours we had selected, but as you can tell by now, we have a sweet tooth here at the office.

Also worth mentioning is the chocolate egg that was met with the most disgust. A flavour so foul, many didn’t even dare to taste it: milk chocolate-cola. The review that described it best: “Who ever approved of this awful combination?”

Although we still have a handful of cola-flavoured chocolates we can’t seem to get rid of, we hope this will be the start of a very sweet, yearly tradition at BeyondDutch.
