PrintSerious 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 try again tomorrow or 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 19, 2008).

Ooh, my favorite Easter food is definitely ham. A nice baked ham basted with honey, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and a little bit of soy sauce. Baked in the oven until the edges are crispy. My family can't wait until we sit down to eat. We all stand over the stove after the ham has come out to slice off thin slices of that delicious caramelized edge of the ham.

Hmm.... I love Peeps, do those count?
As far as traditional foods, I love hot cross buns...
jenjw4 at 11:37AM on 03/18/08
I love noodle kugel! Not sure if that's a traditional Passover dish, but we always end up making it.
khc864 at 11:37AM on 03/18/08
My favorite Easter food is scalloped potatoes. We always have these at Easter with the ham and they are a perfect accompaniment for the holiday.

I'm a bit ashamed. Not even my boyfriend knows, but I look forward to Easter all year so I can have a Cadbury egg. They're sickeningly sweet and messy to eat, but I love them. I only eat one every year, but I have to have it or somehow it just isn't Easter.
iluvbacon at 11:40AM on 03/18/08
Deviled eggs. Or yellow peeps.
AnaisKoi at 11:43AM on 03/18/08
It's alllll about the cadbury mini-eggs.

I went to sleep last night thinking about delicious lamb cake.
blondiebrownie at 11:50AM on 03/18/08
Traditional, though maybe not quite a food: Manishewitz Concord Grape!
delaklug at 11:50AM on 03/18/08
Candy-wise, I loved Reese's peanut butter eggs and Cadbury's full size original eggs. Mmmm.
lo82070 at 11:51AM on 03/18/08
Aside from all the candy and the easter baskets my mom used to put together, roast lamb! My mom would stick olives and garlic cloves into the roast, and getting a slice with one of those would be like winning a prize. Mmm.

The sweet bread we only have once a year at Easter time....yum.
HelloChris at 12:07PM on 03/18/08
I'm a big fan of all the delicious varieties of Easter candy. Little egg-shaped Whoppers, Cadbury mini-eggs and creme eggs, little pink and yellow Peeps... om nom nom nom!

My Nonna traditionally makes rabbit for Easter. When we were kids we used to joke that we were eating the Easter Bunny. He was tasty
ThatGirl153 at 12:12PM on 03/18/08
Thought despised in my youth, I have come to appreciate the maccaroon. ANd they come in so many flavors now! Cappucino chips? Toffee crunch? Amazing!
You acn't live on those alone, though. I make a wicked matzah brie (like french toast) and have mastered the matzah ball.
Stufsocker at 12:14PM on 03/18/08
Chocolate. Well, and maybe some licorice jelly belly jelly beans, too.

reese's peanut butter eggs, the best food in the world!
jamesl8n at 12:35PM on 03/18/08
Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. The higher ratio of peanut butter to chocolate is so much better than regular Reese's Cups.
snazzyknits at 12:35PM on 03/18/08
I'm a fan of my mother's easter challah.
blossomtostem at 12:36PM on 03/18/08
I might start a debate here, but I love hard (break glass with them( Matzah Balls
jasmall at 12:37PM on 03/18/08
i'm a sucker for peanut butter eggs, too. the amount of peanut butter is absurd.

dafly133 at 1:34PM on 03/18/08
My favorite Easter food is something really silly...
Every Easter my Grandmother hosted the event and made sure to have two silly grocery store Bunny Cakes!
I'm sure you've seen them... it's a two-layer round cake that has been cut down the center into two half-rounds. The halves are stood on their cut sides to resemble a bunny body. Then the cake is frosted and cover in coconut, decorated with a sugar-candy face, set of paws, and tail.
...presented in plastic shell packaging, of course.
The cakes were always a hit when we were little kids, and though Grandma is no longer on "cake duty" anymore -- one family member is always sure to pick up a Bunny Cake for the next generation of youngsters in our family.
Chris M at 1:35PM on 03/18/08
Leg of lamb or a honey glazed ham, and Reese's peanut butter eggs!
Karenck at 1:35PM on 03/18/08
Ham-it's really the only holiday I have it.
KristiB at 1:43PM on 03/18/08
Yum. Easter food. I guess my favorite would be Hot cross Buns, but roast leg of lam runs a VERY close second.
Lalycairn at 1:52PM on 03/18/08
Easter: my sister's roasted leg of lamb with salsa verde.
Passover: my honorary grandmother's homemade gefilte fish

eliemalone at 1:58PM on 03/18/08
Easter eggs. MMMmmmmm... I just adore hard-cooked eggs... something about the colored shell makes 'em yummier.
And, a few days later, egg salad...
I also adore Valrhona, so pick me, pick me!
LoCo at 1:58PM on 03/18/08
Dark chocolate covered matzo!
jojonanahuhu at 2:02PM on 03/18/08
Chocolate matzoh crunch!
threedogkitchen at 2:02PM on 03/18/08
My favorite food for Easter are solid red dyed eggs in a Greek basket. I guess it's not so much the eating of them, or the cracking of them. Rather, it's the visual appeal of the basket of crimson.
As a child, the vision of the basket of red eggs instantly brought deep emotions of loving family, a loooong holiday meal with lots of laughter, and napping on the couch while my Mom and my aunt's drank coffee and played board games till the wee hours of the morning.
What a warm memory!
Thanks for reminding me.
DanaMc at 2:03PM on 03/18/08
Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce for dessert.

Hot cross buns ... though I haven't had a good one in years! :(
dreamsicle at 2:23PM on 03/18/08
baked ham, scalloped potatoes, layered salad--its all good. Those chocolate eggs with malted milk are enjoyable as well.
kevlney at 2:24PM on 03/18/08
leg of lamb with lots of garlic
MACDodge at 2:26PM on 03/18/08
There's nothing quite like our family's brisket for passover. But I will admit, I love those creme eggs too. Thank goodness Passover doesn't coincide with Easter this year. Nothing worse than no corn syrup and candy goodness everywhere...
ohnofullmoon at 2:39PM on 03/18/08
Ham.
And anything chocolate.
tech9803 at 2:44PM on 03/18/08

I love charoset. And anything to do with matzah. Ooh, I like tzimmes too.
And, perhaps it's just because ham was the forbidden food when I was young, but for easter (married a catholic) I like a Honey Baked Ham!
puppymomma at 3:02PM on 03/18/08

But I also have a soft spot for chocolate-covered matzoh.

My favorite Easter food is the Egg Strata my nana used to make...eggs poured over bread, sausage and cheese and baked to puffy, golden goodness.
AliceBlue at 4:45PM on 03/18/08
Whitsun Lamb, made with cubed leg of lamb in a creamy asparagus sauce, from the 1976 Cavendish "Soups and Stews" cookbook.
bcarter at 4:52PM on 03/18/08
My favorite Easter food is not so much the main foodstuffs themselves, but the "appetizers" my grandparents whip up. My grandfather makes a nice veggie tray to munch on, and my grandmother makes deviled eggs.
Jikuu at 4:53PM on 03/18/08
Chocolate easter bunnies :)
Anastasia at 4:58PM on 03/18/08
Sugared Easter eggs. Less healthy than the chocolate eggs, and with all that food coloring...but it was such a joy to crack them open, eat the little chocolates inside, then have huge chunks of sugar to suck on till I got a stomach ache!

With the leftover hardboiled Easter eggs, my mom would make eggs goldenrod served over toasted English muffins for Easter breakfast (the egg white bits would have random little streaks of pink and blue and green on them from their dyeing), along with fried country ham. My dad called this "scram gravy," referencing the "Smokey Stover"* comic strip which featured a sign reading "scram gravy ain't wavy."
*Mom always added a splash of liquid smoke to the sauce, interestingly enough...
AuntJenny at 9:11PM on 03/18/08
Black jelly beans - I can't eat enough of them.
Also, and this is actually so gross, Russell Stover's eggs - the pink ones with the pink filling. Just thinking about them gives me cavities.

Oooh, another fan of black jelly beans here.

paigerella at 10:06PM on 03/18/08
My mom's charoset. It's your basic Ashkenazi apple-walnut mix, but something about her proportions is juuust right.
justjoan at 10:31PM on 03/18/08
portugese sweet bread, and candy! yum.
fermezporte at 10:32PM on 03/18/08
The number one traditional food for the easter season? Hot cross buns. And loaded - the more dried and candied fruit,the more spices, the better. Yum!
ribarnica at 11:13PM on 03/18/08
Hmm. . . though I do celebrate Easter, I have never had a traditional food that I ate on such an occasion. But, I guess a food that certainly does symbolize Easter would be a leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary.
PattyCho at 11:27PM on 03/18/08

There are SO many foods I look forward to at Easter. From the Ham, 3 cheese mac and cheese, scalloped potatoes to the DESSERTS! But I would say...that my all time sweet indulgence..secret candy...are Cadbury Eggs. They are AMAZINGLY sweet..and FUN to eat. I know they are not a TOP NOTCH candy like yours are..but they satisfy that sweet tooth..or should I say SWEET TEETH!

Easter Brunch at our house was always ham, 6 or 7 types of sausage, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs and whatever the family brought to add to the festivities.

PEEPS!! Preferably the yellow ones. Then, for dessert, a beautiful glazed spiral sliced ham garnished with pineapples & cherries, along with twice-baked potatoes! I wish I could just sit down and eat though, instead of cooking it all (not the peeps of course)

Ham is my favorite.

Ham is my favorite, but a Cadbury chocolate egg is a must-have.

Ham and deviled eggs are my favorites. Oh, and I love to eat the ears off of a chocolate bunny. Yum.

I eat deviled eggs like someone is going to take them away from me.
maaang at 11:00AM on 03/19/08
A glazed, spiral-sliced ham; but it has to be baked until it is just beginning to crisp on the outside. Yummm :)

Thanks so much for this giveaway. I love baked ham and chocolate covered coconut eggs. Thanks again.

I love a pork loin with a balsamic vinegar/raisin/onion sauce! Peas and carrots, new potatoes.
artmarcia at 11:16AM on 03/19/08
We love Lamb for Easter. Jesus Christ is our shephard. He calls us his sheep. Easter is about Jesus Christ rising from the dead. We honor our Lord and Savior on Easter and thank Him from the bottom of our hearts.
DonnaL3 at 11:19AM on 03/19/08
Ham!! And any kind of chocolate.
parkercat at 11:21AM on 03/19/08
Easter Pizza which is a traditional Italian style pizza. Its has two layers of curst (top and bottom) with many different types of cheeses and meets inbetween. BTW, it has no sauce and is absolutely delicious.

chocolate bunnies, or jelly bellies
AP1836 at 11:23AM on 03/19/08
My favorite easter food (aside from all the deliciouc candy that I get to eat!) is baby back ribs. I know it is not the typical Easter dinner main dish but in my family it is tradition.

kristelh87 at 11:40AM on 03/19/08
either hershey's eggs (the ones with the crunchy shells...) or really good "easter bread", the sweet european yeasted pasty bread with fillings like poppy seed paste or dried fruit and nuts.

Reeses peanut butter eggs. Chocolate make me weak in the knees

amwhiteh at 11:54AM on 03/19/08
As a "chocolaholic" I love chocolate "eggs" - but I also look forward to our traditional Rack of Lamb, Rutabega, and Asparagus. Can't wait!
