Aldi taste testers give their thoughts on Easter chocolate - and it's adorable
It might be the biggest question of the official 'chocolate season': what do Aussies prefer? The bunny or the egg, white, milk, or dark chocolate, and more.
Well this year, for the first time ever, Aldi recruited some Official Chocolate Taste Testers to get their opinion on those big chocolate questions.
In partnership with ALDI's national charity partner Camp Quality, Jonas, 11, Lila, eight, and Isabelle, four, stepped up to the table to give their thoughts on every ALDI chocolate in the range this Easter. You can watch their adorable reactions in the video above.

The bunny or the egg?
According to thousands of respondents via an Aldi Australia Instagram poll, Aussies are absolute eggheads, with 66 per cent saying they prefer eggs over bunnies.
Expert Lila echoed those findings, saying: "The hollow milk chocolate eggs are one of my favourites, I could eat this all day!"
Taste testers Jonas and Isabelle also hoped Chocolate eggs are what the Easter Bunny would be delivering this year.
But bunnies are not extinct just yet. Just over one third (34 per cent) of Aussies still prefer a classic bunny, which resident expert Isabelle firmly agreed with.
"I love how cute the bunny is, and the chocolate is also yum," Lila said, referring to the Choceur Belgian Chocolate Easter Bunny ($5.99).
Other favourites included the smaller Dairy Fine Milk Chocolate Solid Eggs ($4.99) the bigger, hollow eggs in the Dairy Fine Easter Chocolate Hunt Bag ($3.99), and the Moser Roth Mini Easter Eggs ($2.99).

Which type of chocolate wins?
When it comes to favourite flavours for chocolate eggs there's a clear winner – classic milk chocolate, which just under half of respondents (44 per cent) said is their go-to Easter chocolate.
Next up was caramel with one in five (22 per cent) saying it was their egg of choice, with dark chocolate surprisingly close behind, with another 20 per cent declaring that this adult favourite is a winner.
Chocolate reviewer Jonas heartily disagreed with this portion of chocolate lovers, declaring he "doesn't know how adults eat it".
After trialling Aldi's range of chocolates, Jonas also agreed that classic milk chocolate is always a winner.
"Easter is one of my favourite times of the year, especially when all the chocolate comes out! I love milk chocolate most, and also white chocolate, but I know straight away when I taste dark chocolate, and not a fan…" he said.
White chocolate came in at the bottom of the list, with just 14 per cent saying it is their favourite Easter egg flavour.

To eat now or later?
Possibly the most divisive question of all — do you eat all the chocolate over Easter or save some for later?
When asked if they are splurgers or savers, Aussies were split down the middle, with a narrow majority of 52 per cent opting for a weekend burst of indulgence.
Results among the official Easter chocolate taste testers were similarly divided.
Jonas and Isabelle firmly agree Easter is for eating chocolate, with Jonas saying: "I sometimes try to save a few, but I normally eat all my chocolates pretty quickly. I always look in the back of the cupboard after Easter though and find a few hidden choccies left."
The same position was not shared by Lila, however, who revealed some free advice: "Always save most of the chocolates to have later. You have to hide them well though so no one else eats them first!"
