Which Easter eggs are best? The kids decide

The New Daily took to the streets to find three ‘eggsperts’ to assess four milk chocolate Easter eggs.

The judges were tough in critiquing the eggs, as they gobbled down the sugary, chocolatey goodness, with not a crumb to spare.

Sofia says she can’t wait for the traditional Easter egg hunt because: “I like eating all the chocolate, and I like finding them.”

When Ben was told he could take a big piece of chocolate to try, he replied: “How big?” with a cheeky grin.
