Chocolate Easter Eggs and Good Friday: Easter and Chocolate
Posted by tlisenby under Chocolate: Chocolate Easter1 Comment
Tomorrow is Good Friday. Easter, and Chocolate is a very applicable thing to talk about. I personally like Easter. I remember as kid going on those Easter egg hunts. Now I watch other kids go on these hunts, and see the joy in their faces. In all seriousness, Easter has become big business for the candy industry, especially chocolate.
For that special someone, an Easter gift is very appropriate. A box of chocolates, and flowers should do the trick. Don’t forget a romantic brunch on Easter Sunday.
For the rest of us, may God bless us, and have an enjoyable Easter brunch with our family, parents, wife, kids, husband etc.
Just in case you curious how Easter came about read on.
Officially, Easter is now the second top-selling candy holiday, just barely behind Halloween. Americans spend gobs and gobs of money on candy for Easter, which is in the tune of $1.9 billion and a major part of it is chocolate. Easter for the most part is a happy time; when one can celebrate all that is good in the world. And what could be “better��? than chocolates?
The exchange and consumptions of treats for Easter goes back hundreds of years. It is mainly believed to have begun with the tradition of baking and eating Hot Cross Buns. Hot Cross Buns became the traditional breakfast of Good Friday as well as a Christian tradition. Another treat that became famously associated with Easter was baked pretzel. So, when did chocolate become a part of Easter celebrations? It came into the picture around 1800 when chocolate was the rage in Europe. It was the choice of sweet for the middle class and upper class citizens.
It was during this time that the Easter egg came into being. Actually the symbolic egg was part of pagan festivities from a long time but it came into Christian celebrations during this time. The first eggs were solid. But, later hollow eggs replaced them. Making hollow eggs wasn’t easy back then but now, with modern chocolate processes it is much easier.
Now, chocolate treats are not only famous in America and Europe but all over the world. Nowadays chocolate treats include chocolate Easter eggs, bunnies, birds and many other things associated with spring and other Easter based symbols.
