What is the best time to give Easter eggs to family and friends?

Not many people are aware of the proper time to indulge in the delicious treats and break the unwritten norms of the Easter celebration

The Easter holiday ushers in delicious chocolate eggs that are impossible to resist, and hot cross buns, which have traditionally been many people's opening treat of the Easter weekend after Good Friday, are undoubtedly what people are currently enjoying. However, it turns out that many have started to indulge in the chocolate hoard far sooner than would be ideal.

This effect is partly due to supermarkets, which began selling the alluring goods weeks or even months before the Easter holiday. People would undoubtedly have given into the temptation to devour a Cadbury's Creme Egg in March, which leads to the unfortunate outcome that entails breaking the unwritten norms of the Easter celebration. Not many people are aware that there is a proper time to indulge in the delicious treats over the Easter holiday. Additionally, it has become a modern tradition to purchase Easter eggs as gifts during this time of year, but many people are unsure about the best moment to give these delicious treats to friends and family.
