A new study has revealed the highest-calorie supermarket chocolate eggs - with one clocking up nearly 3,000 calories.
Sports nutrition experts at Bulk.com analysed 90 popular supermarket Easter eggs in order to find which are the most calorie-laden.
They considered the number of calories and grams of sugar in the whole Easter egg, as well as any additional chocolate or sweets included in the pack. In their study of the highest calorie supermarket Easter eggs, the KitKat Caramel Cookie Collision Incredible Egg took the top spot, reports Belfast Live.
It was found to be the most calorific supermarket Easter egg at a whopping 2,691 calories. The Yorkie Raisin and Biscuit Incredible egg came in second as the most calorie laden at 2,689 calories in total.
The Dairy Milk Chunky Ultimate Egg was Cadbury’s highest calorie offering, at a total of 2,142 calories.
A spokesperson for Bulk.com said: “While many of these Easter eggs have a surprisingly high calorie content, it's important to keep in mind that overindulging in chocolate over the Easter period is unlikely to completely ruin any weight
