are in the stores now! There's alot of German culture wrapped up in this one little egg.

These little calorie bombs are made by the German milk chocolate maker, Milka, the company known for their purple and white cows. Unlike Ritter Sport, Milka is probably closer to being the Hershey's of Germany, even though Milka may not be considered a German product now that the Milka brand is owned by Kraft Foods. Most Milka products are simple milk chocolate or chocolate-like confections. Everything they make is wrapped in the same color purple. My British readers may even think the purple looks very much like a Cadbury's purple. Ironically, Cadbury is also owned by Kraft.

These special chocolate eggs mimic how Germans eat their eggs at breakfast. The first step is to whack off the top with your knife before using your special tiny egg spoon to eat the egg out of the shell. Non-German egg eaters don't follow this rule. You can always spot the non-Germans at a hotel breakfast.
