Supermarkets launch a chocolate egg price war.

THE Easter bunny will be hopping with joy this year as supermarkets launch a chocolate egg price war.

The scramble to offer the best bargains means some eggs are cheaper, gram for gram, than their standard bar versions.

Their own-brand luxury 300g Chokablok eggs are not on offer but are reasonably priced at £5.
