Mum baking a really yummy chocolate cake using a traditional recipe for my 7th birthday. Though she suffered from congenital heart condition, she was determined to make my birthday special. It was a bitter sweet memory for us all. Loved every bite of unforgettable memory with Mum!

I was four and I ate so much chocolate I ended up in the ED with severe stomach cramps!

Was 7 or 8?, a biggish Easter Egg had a fluffy ducky on top (almost as nice but not as good as the chocolate) – me tried to save some for “later on”, just as well was only once a years treats or could end up an adult chocoholic!

Easter eggs at my grandmas about 30 years ago

Defintely my grandfather, an old watch maker and diabetic that from a young age paid us every day to go to the corner shop to get a block of cadbury chocolate. He lasted till 92 so his self made machines to control his old sugar must have done something!

There’s a photo of me,
When I was three!
With Dad’s undies like a V string and chocolate on my face,
The smile is just ace!

When I was ten I remember my mother coming home with this one of a kind chocolate bar that was made by my auntie (she worked at a chocolate shop for years). It was reminiscent of hazelnut, toffee and dark chocolate. The flavour has stuck with me since, my all time favourite.

Have to laugh Mum had a Chocolate Easter Egg the size of a football Jade foil covered sitting on her dressing table for months. We use to ask her everyday “When are you going to break that ” and share with us… I was four we cracked it one day months after Easter it was white speckled… deteriorated and yuck!

There’s a story of me as a one year old being given a huge chocolate egg my parents won in a dancing competition to play with, while they slept in the next day. When they came to get me out of the cot later they couldn’t find it and asked where it was. “I scoffed it!” I told them.

It was biting the ears off a Red Tulip elegant rabbit and I remember not being able to stop and ending up eating the whole thing. I remember trying to work out if I liked the thin bits of chocolate or the chunky base and ears.

Not my first but my best – toilet training my daughter who was rewarded with a small chocolate if she did no 2’s on the potty- the look of joy and excitement on her face with chocolate in hand is something I will never forget

I’m pretty sure I’ve loved chocolate since the day I was born, but my memory doesn’t go back that far!

CANT REMEMBER MY FIRST EXPERIENCE BUT MAYBE WITH THIS PRIZE AND THE FIRST BITE MY CHOCOLATE SWEET MEMORIES MAY COME RUSHING BY

An Easter egg hunt when I was 4 at my cousin’s house. I remember my cousins and I sitting on the balcony eating most of the chocolate eggs after a crazy and wild hunt.

My Pop sneaking me little pieces of chocolate. Mum would pretend she didn’t know and make a big deal about eating healthy, and Pop would just smile and give me a piece when her back was turned.

Easter – scoffing all and enviously eyeing off my brother’s careful hoard!!

Easter 1987 camping and fishing with our grandparents and they gave us the train eggs and sherbet cones.

As a young child, my Mum for Easter always gave a Cadbury Snack block which was given instead of Easter Eggs – loved it still remember it to this day.

That chocolate bar that mummy used to tempt me to get into the school bus when I was 5. Tears trickling, nose running, eyes blinking. One bite of the innocent-looking snack. Ohhhhh, heavenly!!!! Smile, happy day ahead!

I remember when I was 3, having rocky road with my Grandma! It’s one of my fondest memories with her, she was such a giving person
