Philadelphia Candies Marshmallow Nut Egg, Milk Chocolate 4 Ounce

My first experience, which was probably due to a torn box that allowed air to dry out the coconut, prompted a very unfavorable review. I discarded the candy, and wrote that the the coconut was dry, and tasteless. It was impossible to slice. It just crumbled. I wrote, "Coconut should be moist. Philadelphia Candies has an excellent reputation. This is just OLD candy, even the box is old and faded." "Gee, I hate seeing my hard earned money gone in the garbage. It's too bad that food items are non-returnable, but Amazon will usually make it right. I think this is last year's model, sporting a new bar code that isn't even recognized by my Amazon scan app. Hmm." (The torn box should have given me a clue that it had been exposed to air) but, I felt bitter and cheated, and as far as I was concerned that was the end of it. UNTIL . . . The Philadelphia Candies rep had other ideas, so that evening I wrote---"Update: Out of all fairness, I feel compelled to inform you that:Before this comment could even post, I received a phone call from a representative of Philadelphia Candy. It was rather late in the evening, and at first, I thought it was a joke. Come on now, who could care whether I liked my easter egg-especially days after Easter when there was no money to be made. But who else would know about it! Bottom line is, he was very concerned about customer satisfaction, and the reputation of the company. He explained that the eggs are always made fresh, and are shipped within hours after they are made. With so many factors involved any one thing can unknowingly go wrong, to alter an excellent egg. I do remember the favorable reviews to far out weigh the negative ones. (I did only find 3 or less) The company will be sending me another coconut egg to replace the unsatisfactory one. Even though food items are non-returnable on Amazon, their products are 100% guaranteed. It has alway been my opinion that customer service extends long after the sale-and they have definitely hit the mark in that area. I am very impressed with the customer service, and they must feel confident about their product or they would not offer it knowing that people like us, actually read these comments."Final Review/Update: For those interested in knowing the final (I promise) review of the replacement Coconut Eggs sent from Philadelphia Candies.3 or 4 days later----I did receive another egg as promised. In fact, I rec'd two of them. Now I can join the majority because this egg definitely qualifies as a "5". I say this not because it is FREE, but because it is DELICIOUS! Here is the moist coconut egg that I had been looking for. Sort of like bumping in to an old buddy. I am quite pleased, and will make future purchases. I understand that Philadelphia Candies also sell some sugar-free products so, I will order something for my diabetic husband. I know that it will be quality. Why so much "to-do" about candy? Well, like many others, I am a calorie and money counter and cannot afford to waste either (calories or money), on foods that are not truly enjoyable. I had planned to upload a picture, but I kept munching away at the egg until it was not very attractive. I did not think anyone would be interested in seeing a 2/3 eaten easter egg. The customer service was amazing-they did everything short of bringing it to the door. Because of the faith that the rep had in his company and their products I was afforded the chance to re-evaluate a delicious candy.

It’s solid chocolate, not hollow. It tastes like good quality chocolate. The 8 oz egg was about the size of 2 of my pinky fingers. I already ate half of the egg in the picture (1 pinky size of milk chocolate egg left over). It might be about the size of an adult fist or even a little bigger. It’s fairly big. The chocolate ganache in the center tasted buttery & a bit heavy. This treat reminded me of my youth. It’s too filling now. I’m stuffed. There are 6 servings to this. I like the quality ingredients & taste, but it’s too rich. I felt like trying it again after so many years. Just be aware that it tastes rich & you might want to share it. I over ate because it’s tasty.

Did not realize it was an Easter item I purchased late in the year. Was much larger than I thought. Had to use a knife to cut it. Sadly, it was stale and threw it in the trash. Needed fillers for gift baskets and will not buy more of this product. Cannot trust shelf life.

It's a good thing that these dark chocolate-covered mint beltway eggs are only available before Easter. I would be tempted to buy them more often, and they are NOT the kind of thing that I should be eating at all, let alone more than once a year. These are big eggs, and if you take one out of the box it can (with some effort and possibly a knife warmed in hot water) be sliced into more individual portions. But these might be the best mint beltway eggs that I have ever eaten, with high quality dark chocolate and a smooth and very minty interior. I can make one last about a week for me, and then I just have to wait until next Easter.

I normally order my large Easter eggs from a different company. I saw this and thought I’ll try them since they’re also East Coast like the other company. The coconut is not as flaky or as tasty as what I used to order. The dark chocolate flavor is very good though. And this egg is much smaller than the ones I order from the other company.

Ordered a few different flavors and we found them so enjoyed!!! Shipping took over 3 weeks, but the wait was well worth it. Very high quality chocolate treats.

Good chocolates

Tasted a bit funny

Much smaller than expected as it is quite dense

Very yummy 😋
