Transcript
Melted chocolate – now that's a mouth-watering sight.
This chocolatier in the English county of Lincolnshire has been working hard to create big eggs in the run-up to Easter. But not this one – that one!
Over 100kg of chocolate was used to create the two-metre-tall egg.
But Jan Hensen knows it is too much even for his chocoholic clients. He says he'll sell it in pieces to raise money for charity.
