Take a chocolate eggstravaganza break away

Published:

WHETHER your chocolate egg of choice is a white, a dark, a milk or a fondant-filled, immerse yourself and the family in all things chocolatey this Easter with an egg-stra special short break.

Easter Egg Hunts take place up and down the country, perfect for the little darlings, or if you don’t fancy rooting around in the shrubbery then give in to your inner demon and experience a full-on chocolate-themed break.

Visit a chocolate-making factory or learn the tricks of the sweetest trade from a master chocolatier.

Plaisir Du Chocolat, in Edinburgh, is a well known chocolate heaven offering chocolate tastings that will make you appreciate the finer things about chocolate and teach you everything you need to know about chocolate, from its very roots to it appearing in shops. For choc-a-holics, there is even the opportunity to do a chocolate-making workshop. Prices start from about £35 per person.

And if you’ve spent all your money on chocolate, the Easter sale at Travelodge is offering 65,000 rooms from just £19 if you book now and stay between Friday, March 21, and Sunday, April 20, 2008.
