History of Easter
Why do we have chocolate eggs at Easter?
Chocolate eggs have been around since 1873 when a French chocolatier made the first moulded chocolate egg. Before this time, it was common for people to create eggs out of icing or marzipan as decorations for Easter celebrations. As technology advanced and mass production became possible, chocolate eggs were created to represent new life, symbolic of what Easter celebrates. Over time, giving chocolate eggs during Easter has become an integral part of the holiday experience all over the world.
When did chocolate Easter eggs start?
Chocolate Easter eggs have been a popular treat for decades. But people may need to learn that the chocolate eggs tradition dates back to the 19th century. The first recorded instance of Easter treats being made with chocolate happened in Europe in the 1800s when German confectioners started creating small moulds of hollowed-out eggshells filled with sweet treats and covered with chocolate.
