M&S are selling the most bizarre Easter Egg - but shoppers are loving it

With coronavirus dominating the headlines, it's easy to forget that Easter is fast approaching, which means one thing: chocolate overload.

Unless you're M&S, who have gone rogue with a totally bizarre Easter egg - but shoppers are loving it.

While Aldi's sloth-shaped Easter egg may have been a hit, M&S have trumped them all with its new savoury offering, reports Manchester Evening News.

The brand new release is not made from chocolate but our other favourite dairy product. Of course, we're talking about cheese.

The six wax-covered Mini Cheesy Eggs come in a authentic-looking cardboard egg box to add to the illusion.

Made with Barber’s Farmhouse Cheddar and a vintage 18-month matured Red Leicester “yolk” they sound absolutely mouth-watering. 

M&S Product Developer, Rosie Eiduks, said: "Delicious as it is, we know not everyone loves chocolate, and that people in North West are actually divided between Team Sweet and Team Savoury.

"Those with a more savoury-tooth can sometimes feel left out of the fun at Easter, so this year, we wanted to create a must-have gift for cheese lovers too!"

She added: "Not only are our Mini Cheesy Eggs a picture-perfect gift, they’re also completely delicious, with our quality Barber’s Farmhouse Cheddar and a vintage Red Leicester yolk.

"Beautiful served on an Easter lunch cheeseboard, sliced into a sandwich or salad, or loaded on top of crackers."

Meanwhile one shopper said: "My daughter loves cheese and hates eggs not sure how she would deal with this!"

"Now that's my idea of a good Easter egg!" said another.
