Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway
We at Serious Eats love all the food traditions associated with Easter, but we must admit there is a special place in our hearts and in our stomachs for chocolate easter eggs.
So we have undertaken an extensive search for great chocolate easter eggs, and we have found some at John & Kira's, an artisanal chocolate-maker from the Philadelphia area. I have been writing about and eating their terrific chocolates for years now, and I know how much love and care goes into every piece of chocolate they make. So we're excited that John Doyle today has graciously consented to letting us give away a box of 36 hand-decorated chocolate Easter eggs filled with delicious 64 percent Valrhona dark chocolate ganache.
To enter to win, just tell us here in the Comments section what your favorite Easter or Passover food is. One winner will be chosen at random today, and the winners' eggs should arrive in time for Easter. And if you don't happen to win today, you can always order chocolate this week from John & Kira's and receive a 10 percent discount by using the promotional code serious1.
The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply. Comments will remain open until noon ET tomorrow (March 21, 2008).

ksbald2 at 12:15PM on 03/20/08
Ham with my grandma's raisin sauce. I have ni idea what's inthat stuff, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to, but every Easter I miss it. Along with her wilted lettuce salad - horrible name, tasty salad.
Now that I think about it, both recipes are probably in the Better Homes cookbook - that's where I found the rest of my secret family recipes.
cyberroo at 12:16PM on 03/20/08

What else but deviled eggs? We make dozens of them in different flavors, for when guests come over. I actually prefer them very traditional, with just a sprinkling of paprika on top.

The chocolates made by Mr. Hoffman, who had his own chocolate making enterprise in Buffalo, NY, and was a member of my Dad's church (Dad was the minister). I believe he went with chocolate crosses instead of bunnies though... still, they smelled better than almost all chocolate since.

My mom always cooked the meals and I still remember the taste. What I truly loved about Easter was that my mom would always make our baskets...and I mean she went all around finding what we liked in toys, candy, etc. and then she would hide them in the house to find. Doing personal things like that on the holidays was always a special treat. ;-) Thanks and Happy Easter. God Bless ^A^

I'm with jenjw4 -- stale Peeps like Mom used to make. She poked holes in the package at least a week before Easter to let them "ripen". And the ham and butter sandwiches Dad would make for late munchies. Sure, we had ham for the main festivities, but the sandwiches, on Saint Joseph's bread with butter, oh baby!

My favorite Easter food is a traditional Czechoslovakian pastry. It is called kolach - a rolled dough with different fillings that when cut looks like a pinwheel. Delicious. I usually make it with my older brother over this holiday. Thanks for the opportunity.
elsmarlouamrman at 6:10PM on 03/20/08
A leg of lamb, butterflied, cooked slowly on the grill, with olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper, as the Greeks did for me in the Pláka in Athens many years ago at Greek Easter, is at the top of my list.

Goodness, when I was a child, my favorite was probably the malted milk/chocolate easter eggs, like by whoppers. However, over the last 20 years my children and I have a tradition of making Resurrection Rolls for breakfast. So I would have to say that is our absolute favorite now...but we still LOVE chocolate.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity and blessings to you.

I'm glad I'm not the only one voting for ham, although the bread pudding with bourbon sauce sounds wickedly wonderful.

I eat way too many Cadbury eggs even though I've come to the conclusion I don't actually enjoy them... it's a problem...
I love Easter dinners with my family though.

Ham
garrettsambo at 12:03AM on 03/21/08
I feel like such a dork, but I really miss that goofy ham my mom would make with the pineapple rings and maraschino cherries toothpicked onto it. Chocolate bunnies, malted eggs and whatnot are all well and good, but nothing says easter like canned ham with canned fruit pinned to it. :)
lritz at 12:14AM on 03/21/08

allancarol at 1:11AM on 03/21/08
I have to give props to IRITZ above. Your comment about "nothing says Easter like canned ham with canned fruit pinned to it" made me bust out laughing. You have a comedic streak, I can tell. ha ha! Thanks for the laugh!
My favorite Easter food would have to be relying on a memory of the big SOLID chocolate bunny my Mom always put in each one of my siblings Easter basket. They never had a lot of money, but by gosh, we all got a very substantial bunny each year from a local Chocolatier.
Reminder to parents, make sure your kids don't put their Easter baskets in front of a window as I did one year. I sadly melted my bunny one sunny Easter day in Ohio years ago. Lesson learned!
Hoppy Easter!
