Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway

Required Eating

Posted by Ed Levine, March 17, 2008 at 5:00 PM

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 has graciously consented to letting us give away a total of four boxes of 36 hand-decorated chocolate Easter eggs filled with delicious 64 percent Valrhona dark chocolate ganache every day between now and Thursday.

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 (Monday) through Thursday, so that the winners' eggs will arrive in time for Easter. And if you don't happen to win, you can order chocolate this week from John and 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 18, 2008).

In my family, we eat Lamb Shish Kabob, and there is nothing as good as eating it right from the grill.

dikaryon at 5:14PM on 03/17/08

Easter Lamb Cakes, Lived next to a German Bakery in Chicago and the dozens of different colored lambs was wonderful.

StevenSteiger at 5:14PM on 03/17/08

I'll have to say deviled eggs. I don't like eggs in general, and I rarely eat them in anything but baked goods. I hate mayo. But mix egg yolks with mayo and mustard, stuff them into egg whites, and dust them with paprika? I'm there. Once a year, anyway.

Second fave: roasted aspargaus.

KarynMC at 5:17PM on 03/17/08

Chocolate bunnies. I know there's all that good lamb, but I love the chocolate bunnies.

lizyjane at 5:17PM on 03/17/08

Egg-shaped, speckled malted milk balls.

bedwell at 5:20PM on 03/17/08

cadbury eggs...I have loved them forever, especially when I get a good one whose center hasn't solidified but is still nice and creamy....mmmmmm

emilywalker at 5:20PM on 03/17/08

Definitely has to be foil wrapped chocolate Easter eggs. I'm a sucker for those things.

pupilindenial at 5:20PM on 03/17/08

I am a big fan of lefse for Easter. We're good old Norwegian Lutherans so it's a must :) Ham is a close second. Always the Easter Ham!

bygnerd at 5:24PM on 03/17/08

Eggs Benedict (we use Easter as an excuse to do fancy brunch at home)

ansate at 5:25PM on 03/17/08

my mother often bakes a cake in a special lamb-shaped mold for Easter. it's then frosted with white buttercream, covered with shredded coconut, and given raisin eyes. cute and delicious!

elissa at 5:28PM on 03/17/08

I must admit, I'm a sucker for Cadbury's mini-eggs. Mmmm.

abstract_duck at 5:29PM on 03/17/08

Kielbasa. Or chocolate. It's a tossup, I guess.

ScienceandtheCity at 5:32PM on 03/17/08

LAMB!

SB (half Serb)

srhcb at 5:33PM on 03/17/08

peeps! i know, gross, but it's a nostalgia thing.

capricornpig at 5:34PM on 03/17/08

The egg salad I make with the dyed hard-boiled Easter eggs. It's one of the only times I like artificial coloring in my food.

Betsy B at 5:35PM on 03/17/08

My mom's butter tarts!

Chocolate bunny ears are up there too. We have a local candy maker and they make extra big ears only in milk and dark choclate!

radley24 at 5:38PM on 03/17/08

Well, we have always had a huge pot roast for Easter. So I'll stick with that. Pot roast it is.

padric at 5:39PM on 03/17/08

I must say, it's a delicious ham. As prepared by my stepfather!

onalark at 5:41PM on 03/17/08

It used to be my mother's corned beef, but I've gone vegetarian since then so that doesn't quite count anymore. I guess it would have to be chocolate rabbit ears, straight from the freezer, or babka. Yum.

Christina at 5:42PM on 03/17/08

Cadbury mini-eggs of DOOM!

mschlock at 5:42PM on 03/17/08

Glazed Ham... mmm... especially the outer sticky crisp crust of the ham.

threedogkitchen at 5:43PM on 03/17/08

Although we don't celebrate Easter we just always happen to eat it around this time, Balut. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a fertilized duck egg where the baby duck has already developed. With a little lemon, salt, and pepper, it's pretty good.

veGieSatan at 5:43PM on 03/17/08

Deviled eggs

charmon at 5:44PM on 03/17/08

cadbury cream eggs for easter, matzah ball soup for passover

missmicker at 5:45PM on 03/17/08

cadbury's mini eggs are deliciousss

Na at 5:49PM on 03/17/08

other than fancy chocolate filled eggs, I like the awful Russell stover coconut-chocolate nests. Something about the jelly bean, chocolate, coconut combo makes me happy.

cyberroo at 5:49PM on 03/17/08

Chocolate eggs!

salty at 5:53PM on 03/17/08

Chocolate Bunnies from Vosages

thotfulspot at 5:54PM on 03/17/08

Wow. A lot of Cadbury egg fans here, but I'm not one. I'll take a nice deviled egg any day.

AsthmaMom at 5:54PM on 03/17/08

Matzo brei with salami and onions. Yum!

iahawk89 at 5:54PM on 03/17/08

Lamb...and all that lamb fat!

bessfour at 5:54PM on 03/17/08

My husband is from a Jewish family and I am from a Catholic family, so our favorite tradition is trading holiday food. I give him all my Cadbury eggs and ham for Matza pizza. So good...

slowgerky at 5:55PM on 03/17/08

The Cadbury Creme eggs used to be my favorite, but the fact that they're available so many months a year now took some of the fun out of it.

jmetzner at 5:55PM on 03/17/08

I love the mint pastel M&Ms they used to make.......sadly I have not seen them for years.

amber at 5:57PM on 03/17/08

Matzoh Ball Soup

izzy's mama at 5:59PM on 03/17/08

It's crazy, but I love gefilte fish - just one of those nostalgia things, I guess. My goal for this year is to make it by scratch - not completely Carp in a Bathtub but not far from it...

PhredYammers at 6:00PM on 03/17/08

I like the Reese's Eggs that come out for Easter. They never last long in my house!

HeatherB at 6:01PM on 03/17/08

I love charoset, and harbor a guilty weakness in my heart for Manischewitz macaroons. Oh, and of COURSE my mom's kneidlach!

tacroy80 at 6:03PM on 03/17/08

Cadbury Creme Eggs. Also, old school 1950s deviled eggs. They just don't taste the same if you eat them at any other time of year.

snazzyknits at 6:03PM on 03/17/08

Roast leg of lamb with lots of garlic and rosemary.

dafly133 at 6:04PM on 03/17/08

Matzo ball soup for Passover! And I'm a Southern Baptist!

GingerCM at 6:04PM on 03/17/08

leg 'o lamb

Mike Sula at 6:05PM on 03/17/08

Peeps! (They are best a couple of days after Easter, when they are just starting to get stale...)

blgrimes at 6:06PM on 03/17/08

Matzo brei.

karen r at 6:07PM on 03/17/08

Wonderful lamb cake. My mother has that mold too, but we eat it with just a dusting of powdered sugar. I called her just the other night to confirm that we'll have all the ingredients when I get home.

blondiebrownie at 6:08PM on 03/17/08

Since I'm not Jewish or Catholic I would have to say a pastrami sandwich and a solid dark chocolate bunny!

mchow at 6:09PM on 03/17/08

Chocolate in any form.

edinat at 6:09PM on 03/17/08

A sheet of plain matzoh spread with sweet butter and a little salt, along with a cup of Swee-Touch-Nee tea.

overw8 at 6:11PM on 03/17/08

Jelly Belly Jelly Beans!!

mmlkc at 6:12PM on 03/17/08

Jelly beans, peeps, chocolate, rack of lamb.

linda at 6:17PM on 03/17/08

Peeps! Especially if they're a bit stale, or melted in the microwave.

eatingme at 6:18PM on 03/17/08

cadbury eggs

dbrooksismyhero at 6:21PM on 03/17/08

Roast ham is my favourite! (My least? The headcheese served at the BF's Polish family's Easter breakfast. Every year I vow to try it, and every year the gelatenous slices come my way and I'm forced to pass. I'll eat everything else, but there is just something about headcheese...)

Peasantwench at 6:22PM on 03/17/08

Mmmm...deviled eggs.

Melinda at 6:27PM on 03/17/08

Anything with dark chocolate especially dark chocolate covered marshmallow.

kitsy160 at 6:28PM on 03/17/08

Im not Christian, Catholic or Jewish, so these early Spring celebrations rarely mean anything to me, but I can't say I don't appreciate the glut of treats around this time of year.

The chocolate is always good (and Creme Eggs are fascinating to look at, even if repulsive to eat), at least!

fuuchan at 6:29PM on 03/17/08

I love the cadbury eggs!

laur_uic at 6:30PM on 03/17/08

Roast lamb and asparagus! That's Easter for me

misswills at 6:37PM on 03/17/08

Chocolate bunnies! Cadbury eggs (now in caramel!)

brooklynchower at 6:39PM on 03/17/08

Flourless chocolate cake for Passover and for Easter pass the lamb - I'm any denomination when food is involved.

nantaylor at 6:41PM on 03/17/08

Deviled eggs!

picniclunch at 6:41PM on 03/17/08

My birthday usually falls during Passover, so flourless chocolate (birthday) cake.

alexb at 6:42PM on 03/17/08

I'd part the waters for a potato latke any day of the week.

Mike13241 at 6:44PM on 03/17/08

Mesquite smoked brisket!!!!!

dksbook at 6:45PM on 03/17/08

My favorite passover food is the fresh horseradish that is served as a part of the traditional passover meal. I don't think it's the BEST food item in the world, by any means. However, it's my favorite because it's the only time of year I eat fresh horseradish and it packs a punch! Every time I eat it, it takes me back to being a kid, learning about Passover for the first time....so I look forward to eating it every year!

siiriguapa at 6:46PM on 03/17/08

Chocolate Eggs from Malley's Chocolates (Cleveland, OH)

delaklug at 6:46PM on 03/17/08

Brunch foods, especially all the carved meats. It's the one time a year my family goes out to brunch, and I love it!

lo82070 at 6:46PM on 03/17/08

Jelly Bellies

musicalpandibear at 6:48PM on 03/17/08

With our annual seder, I always looked forward to getting my hands on the haroseth. And the matzoh brei! Bring it on! One last thing, my mother's matzah ball soup. She wasn't much of a cook, but I loved the matzoh balls. They were big, heavy, and dense (but needed salt).

puppymomma at 6:49PM on 03/17/08

Green split pea soup with lamb.

sarahinnewyork at 6:49PM on 03/17/08

Rabbit! Not only delicious, but delightfully morbid - like eating the Easter Bunny...

cdcdcd at 7:15PM on 03/17/08

Gosh, I'd have to say, uhm..."a big box of John & Kira's" chocolate easter eggs...at least after I win a box this year! Seriously, gotta' be a nice ham with the ginger/orange glaze just past that great carmely, almost crisp stage....slurp.

DeaconVolker at 7:15PM on 03/17/08

Deviled Eggs!

Scoggdog at 7:19PM on 03/17/08

As an adult, dark chocolate and hard boiled eggs.

As a kid, drug store jelly beans and maple whip cream eggs.

HeartofGlass at 7:30PM on 03/17/08

passover was always all about matzoh brei in the morning with grape jelly!

cook eat FRET at 7:30PM on 03/17/08

Robin eggs. biscuits n gravy

rrakes at 7:41PM on 03/17/08

I grew up in the Philippines in the 70s, and Easter Sunday meant buying a cake called Cathedral Windows from the most popular bakery at the time. It was magical to me--suspended cubes of red, green, orange & yellow jell-o in a dome made of more jell-o mixed with milk.

I actually learned how to make this in high school cooking class, but I still think about what a treat it was to a little kid, to have this to look forward to on Easter.

VickieDC at 7:42PM on 03/17/08

Whoppers' malted milk ball Robins' Eggs!

MadameTart at 7:44PM on 03/17/08

Thank you so much for this wonderful giveaway. Some of my favorite Easter foods are first, chocolate covered coconut eggs. (Love them and it's funny how the Easter Bunny brings them for the kids each year and the kids don't like them much. lol) I also love Baked Ham. My mother in law also makes wonderful perogies each Easter that I really look forward to each year.
Thanks again for the wonderful giveaway and Happy Holiday.

peg42 at 7:53PM on 03/17/08

Paska bread, a delicious Ukranian treat.

momrec at 9:31PM on 03/17/08

A pancake breakfast is my family's go-to holiday commemoration. Pretty boring, but then again, it's not very often that my dad will cook something besides a huge slab of meat. And for the entire family, no less.

einscheusal at 9:35PM on 03/17/08

Hello! You did good. These chocolate eggs are pieces of art. I have never seen eggs decorate this beautifully. My favorite Easter food is a good potato salad and my special candy are the Reese's peanut butter eggs. Thanks,Cindi

Don't know what it's called but it's a Porturguese bread with a egg in the center!

My family has a tradition of making a lamb cake - a pound cake made in a lamb-shaped mold and frosted with buttercream. The frosting is a nightmare, but it's delicious.

Spiral cut ham! It wouldn't be Easter without it.

I've always loved salted hard boiled eggs with some colors that have leaked into the white. Yummy!

cowleyh at 11:01PM on 03/17/08

Used to always be the ham... but now that I'm a vegetarian I guess I'll go with the big hollow chocolate bunny :)

spliffster at 11:16PM on 03/17/08

My favorite eats for Easter is probably the candy for one reason, I don't have to cook it like everthing else. Mostly I love the chocolate but who can resist a few peeps along the way. Happy Easter everyone !

donnas231 at 11:18PM on 03/17/08

My favorite Easter food is an Italian bread my grandmother used to make - Spianata.

bondolce at 11:20PM on 03/17/08

My favorite Easter food is kolache. My mother used to make it every year for family and relatives. It is a Czechoslovakian type of pastry, and delicious! Now, my older brother and I get together during the Easter weekend, and stay up practically all night making it. Each year, I look forward to making it and of course, eating it. Thanks for this opportunity.
