Last week the Guardian's offices were beseiged by queues of excited people (a high proportion of them young women), clutching golden tickets. Yes, 75 selfless readers came and sampled 50 or so chocolate products at our great Easter egg taste test. It wasn't compulsory to try everything (although efforts were made) and therefore was not a strictly scientific exercise, but the following emerged as the very finest eggs available to buy this year.
Food writer Jay Rayner was there too, and particularly enjoyed the double-skinned Godiva Nougatine egg: "Dark chocolate outside, crusted with a little praline, a thick layer of milk chocolate inside."
