in Old style MoneySaving
For those of you that manage to haul a huge amount of Easter chocolate... obviously you're going to eat some, but you can't eat too many right?

What do you do with your leftover chocolate hauls? I bake myself a nice cake if i'm honest, the mix of chocolate brands tastes AMAZING! :p

    Put them in the cupboard, in best-before date order, to use up later on in the year.

    Personally, I wouldn't buy chocolate eggs - very poor value for money, and loads of extraneous packaging. Far better value to buy bars of chocolate if you're going to bother at all (I don't).
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
