The chocolate shop where my sister used to live outside of Chicago made “deviled eggs“: a white chocolate egg half topped with a peanut butter/white chocolate/rice crispy deviled yolk. They were awesome!
This is an interesting statement, how big of an egg do you get for... i dont have they key on my keyboard lmao. how many grams is the egg you get for 5 euros?
Goes to show how far we have come from the reasons for the holiday. The shape of the chocolate was only very loosely tied to the reason and now we want to remove that.
Pretty offensive imo to insinuate Easter is/should/could be primarily about celebrating chocolate. Guess we've been trending towards "how much material crap can I accumulate" on Christmas for a while as well though.
I saw a special on cocoa. The workers that pick the pods and most of the farmers have no idea what chocolate actually is. They were amazed when the guy doing the special gave them a chocolate bar. It was really interesting
I’ve been gifted the aubergine ‘egg’ and my carer thought it had aubergine actually in it, because it being vegan and “they always do weird things to vegan stuff” 🤣
SORTEDfood can’t eat it yet- it’s not Easter! (Also can’t eat anything atm as my stomach isn’t working but just means I actually manage to save some eggs for Easter this year, or I’ll find a way to get it down an NJ tube? 🤣)
I was going to get that one for my vegan grandma. Hope you get chance to eat it. I couldn't eat solids for a year when I was a kid (had to have those gross shakes) and it sucked.

Love that you also mentioned the criticism Tony’s had been having lately. Being Dutch I’ve known the company from its inception on Keuringsdienst van Waarde (a Dutch consumers tv program about food). It’s sad to see that they’ve drifted away from what they were at the start: a company that made fully slave free chocolate. With every expansion, they also increase their compromise. They’ve gone from slave free to slave free as far as we know to on the way to slave free. Right now I feel like they’re on the tipping point between making a difference and just selling expensive chocolate.
I have to agree, the comment we will change things from the inside is what many large companies have said about the appalling conditions in their factories and things often haven't improved.
@@rationalbacon5872 Maybe because I don't directly contribute to said government's profit via my purchases? Or maybe because I have exactly zero ways to influence said governments - unlike certain rich chocolate buyers, whose decision to blacklist a country can influence governments to enact better policies?

You, and the other commenters, should read the entire story. Like said in the video, due to upscaling they started a partnership with a Belgian multinational to use their factories for processing their product. That multinational also processes chocolate that is not slave-free, causing Tony's to lose their listing on the slave free chocolate list. However, Tony's own product is still 100% slave free as all routes for their chocolate are traced and action is undertaken whenever slavery is detected. They were planning to open their own factory but had to postpone due to COVID.
@@gikiryu But to claim they are working from within is the BS part. No, they're just content with being able to stay afloat during covid and can't find a better company to work with. They might be slave free, but why continue to work with a company that prevents you from being listed as slave free? Maybe scale down until you can find a better company to work with that isn't associated with slaves. They made a business decision and are using the best PR terms to make it sound so proactive and good.

I have had a massive throwback weekend this week because I was watching back all of your old videos and I've honestly had the time of my life! Thank you so so so much for everything you do, you bring me so much joy. Me an my boyfriend look forward to your videos every week, you are the one channel we actually watch together hehe. Have a great sunday evening!
I really appreciated the thought of moving away from novelty towards supporting better businesses. I don't celebrate Easter but could get behind gifting things that are quality and meaningful.
Aldi is the only supermarket I shop at now. I've done my main shopping there for years and only used ASDA for things Aldi didn't have. Our local ASDA went overboard with the CV19 rules, even stopping people who were exempt from mask wearing from shopping there, forcing people to stand in the freezing cold or waiting in their cars until THEY decided they could come in. If Aldi doesn't have something I want, then our local shop usually has it - or will get it for me. Even after all this CV19 is over, I will never shop in ASDA again. Same goes for Tesco, Sainsburys (overpriced anyway) or Morrisons (also overpriced and poor quality). I like Aldi chocolate. Even the cheap bars are nice. Must try one of these Ruby eggs - that's IF they still have them. Great to see Aldi put on the map for quality and affordable price.
I’m not sure if Aus Aldi is different to uk Aldi but they have a really lovely milk chocolate and caramel block. The chocolate is super smooth and the caramel is a fantastic texture and isn’t cloyingly sweet or over powering. Plus I am hoping that they have the ruby chocolate egg here as well lol
@@fallensway855 I've seen that here in the UK but I'm not a lover of chocolate caramel so I haven't tried it. However, my adult son is so next time we're in Aldi I'm sure he'll be happy to give it a try. I like their mint filled chocolate bar. Reminds me of the Cadbury's one from when I was a child.
Poor Barry can't catch a break with the quotes - 'feeling his way around' a sandwich that looks like it's been impaled by a yolky nipple. :') This was great fun to watch, guys. I'm not from a country that does eggs, but that might change for my household now! Also appreciate the consistent attention to sourcing and sustainability. We love to see it x
13:48 Ben: "Well it did make us wonder, does Easter have to be all about eggs, or can it just be about quality chocolate?" Jesus: *cough* *cough* "Hello?" Ēostre: *cough* *cough* "What?"
As a Dutchie I'm happy to see Tony's ChocoLonely on here, if anything - try the chocolatemilk too :) But guys, talking Dutch here, how about you guys' take on our "kroketten" and make some of your own!
It’s great that you guys are able to provide info about the brands and their missions, and also make it a point to talk about the negatives/abuses that occur in the industries too.
Just watched a video from three years back, wow what an improvement guys! Well done! From the studio to the audio to the intro - Great work and keep it up!
Aldi is very regional usually. In Germany, which is the origin country of Aldi, we even have Aldi Nord in northern Germany and Aldi Süd in the southern parts. Big parts of what they're selling being different and even a differently colored Banner... Very weird store lol
16:15 despite the carrot outfit, Baz's comment on His Chocolate journey really makes one appreciate this Video's teaching experience. I loved it. Thank you.
thrilled that you guys are so committed to talking about real issues in the food world and not JUST doing the jokes and costumes. would love to see a video about the stereotypes and food waste that occurs around offal - organ meats can be so beautiful but theres so much negativity around the less marketable types.
The expensive box is easy more than I would spend typically but, maybe for a special occasion I might spring for it. I do like the lack of plastic in the Ruby one as well
Now I'm excited about filled easter eggs. In Switzerland we gift chocolate bunnies mostly, in a basket with lots of small chocolate eggs. We personally go to our very local organic chocolatier to get Our selection as we eat little chocolate and don't want to compromise quality, as well as get our toddlers taste acostumed . I also usually get a small pack of kinder eggs for our inner child.
I love hearing the differences between how things are pronounced in the UK vs US. It took me a minute to realize you were saying Aldi because in the US we pronounce it “ALL-DEE”. Great vid guys!
It is actually interesting that Barry's gut reaction to the Easter egg sandwich was that it was a fun little thing but his reaction to the vegan egg plant was "I don't like the shape. Why not just make an egg?"
Takes me back to Easter as a child with all the novelty shaped chocolates! I’m from the US and my faves were always the Reese’s eggs and See’s Candy dark chocolate bunny :) it was my fave holiday as a kid!
WOW! Watching a giant chicken take a large pink egg and drop it multiple times just to ‘break it’ made me laugh out loud! But watching an conversation about sourcing chocolate between a chef and a man-carrot, was Hysterical! I will never forget this day ! Thank You SORTEDFOOD !
@@ilsahartley5333 It's white chocolate that in making is heated higher for longer, and stirred constantly, which caremelises it. I absolutely love the stuff, but M&S are the only main seller I've found in the UK. It is to die for though!
Honestly, my favorite thing about these videos is that you introduce me to brands I've never heard of. Even though I live in the US, my best friend lives in Doncaster so she sends me some of these delicious treats.
Like Ebbers “I’m blaming lockdown” is my go to phrase for everything from weight gain to missed deadlines. I also think it’s going to be a go to term in a lot of criminal cases - I wasn’t gonna rob the bank but you know... lockdown 🤷♀️
I had ruby chocolate a couple of years ago. The chocolatier told me what you said - basically unfermented (or less fermented). It tastes like strawberry-lime to me.
You probably can't get them in the UK but at this time of year I LIVE for Queen Anne Dark Chocolate Coffee Latte Marshmallow Half Eggs... a New Zealand chocolatier's take on Easter eggs, they do a whole bunch of different flavoured marshmallows like pineapple, raspberry, or in this case coffee. They come in generous portions (egg shapes in half lengthwise) with good quality chocolate coverings over soft, tender marshmallow, in a box of eight halves. I am obsessed!
Tony is going to have a Charlie and the chocolate factory type of factory in the Netherlands. Which you will be able to visit and see “fun” stuff with chocolate.
I love ruby chocolate!!! I wonder if the American Aldi stores have those. I haven't been in a while, it might be time to take a trip to my local Aldi to see. Loved seeing all of the UK versions of Easter treats.
Someone gave me a Tony's bar as a gift for plant sitting. It was really good, I think a dark chocolate with salted almond. I generally don't like salted chocolate.
Re: the ruby chocolate egg - the brand, Moser Roth, makes some of my favourite chocolate. They make small chocolate bars in a lot of flavours that I like to have at home for a little dessert or with a cup of coffee or tea. Aldi (called Hofer here) has really great quality in my opinion. At least in Austria we get lots of local and also organic produce and their own brands easily compete with more expensive ones.
Can totally confirm! Love Moser Roth chocolates, I could eat a whole bar in minutes - maybe I will just because easter is a great excuse! (A neighbour from Hungary)
I'm so glad you featured Tony's Chocolonely - it's my brand of choice and I love their mission. I feel like most people do not know about them, here in America and I keep trying to spread the word among people I know.
So did they read that weird or is their 'mission' using a slave worked factory but claiming they're totally going to make them change eventually because that sounds like...a huge lie...
@@shotgunbadger Yeah, I don't understand why that didn't immediately put them off it if they were looking for ethical chocolate. Sounds exactly like what the huge multinationals say when they're caught. "uhhhh, yeah we're totally trying to change things from within, by using cheap slave labour to produce our overpriced product.
@@shotgunbadger it's not a slave-worked factory, it's a factory that makes products for other chocolate companies that are not slave-free, which is quite different!
I really, REALLY appreciate you guys talking about child labor and modern slavery issues in the chocolate trade industry.

Adulting Easter. Although I do still like a good cadbury egg.

However, my adult son is so next time we're in Aldi I'm sure he'll be happy to give it a try. I like their mint filled chocolate bar. Reminds me of the Cadbury's one from when I was a child.
Poor Barry can't catch a break with the quotes - 'feeling his way around' a sandwich that looks like it's been impaled by a yolky nipple. :')
This was great fun to watch, guys. I'm not from a country that does eggs, but that might change for my household now! Also appreciate the consistent attention to sourcing and sustainability. We love to see it x
13:48 Ben: "Well it did make us wonder, does Easter have to be all about eggs, or can it just be about quality chocolate?"
Jesus: *cough* *cough* "Hello?"
Ēostre: *cough* *cough* "What?"
It took me until now to watch this video as a pagan because I was like "Easter? augh" but this was good fun!
The fact that they talk about serious topics looking like a carrot and a chicken is beyond me 😂 love these guys
“Novelty with a bit of class.” ❤️❤️
‘He says in a carrot costume’ 😂
"Novelty, but classy" says the man in a carrot costume 😂 Barry is awesome
As a Dutchie I'm happy to see Tony's ChocoLonely on here, if anything - try the chocolatemilk too :)
But guys, talking Dutch here, how about you guys' take on our "kroketten" and make some of your own!
Bitterballen. There's a lot of hip food trucks and stuff producing all kinds of interesting high-end bitterballen.
Jamie lecturing Barry on cocoa solids was everything
Disappointed that Jamie missed the opportunity to say “what the cluck have they got to do with Easter” 🐔
It’s great that you guys are able to provide info about the brands and their missions, and also make it a point to talk about the negatives/abuses that occur in the industries too.
I've missed the costumes 😆
We have a few more delights coming your way soon 😉
@@SortedFood I've seen your tiktoks and I am excited😂
@@CharlieVarley-rs1ju Whaaa... Sorted has a tiktok?
@@SortedFood yes pls
Just watched a video from three years back, wow what an improvement guys! Well done! From the studio to the audio to the intro - Great work and keep it up!
We have Aldi in the States, too. I'll have to see if the ruby egg is available over here!
Aldi is very regional usually. In Germany, which is the origin country of Aldi, we even have Aldi Nord in northern Germany and Aldi Süd in the southern parts. Big parts of what they're selling being different and even a differently colored Banner... Very weird store lol
Really fascinating. I want to try ruby chocolate if it's getting less expensive.
I like the eggplant wordplay and I like the idea of the lemon meringue chocolate!
"novelty but classy" with a sparkling smile! I can't with you guys... so many great one liners in this.
IM GOOEY IN THE MIDDLE BABY LET ME BAKE
The middle!!! 😁
Aww, I miss that intro!
@@chacopaco407 changed it. I dont know why when I sang it back in my head, center sounded correct.
16:15 despite the carrot outfit, Baz's comment on His Chocolate journey really makes one appreciate this Video's teaching experience. I loved it. Thank you.
Can I just say that the new opening of the egg cracking and frying gives me ASMR serotonin EVERY time
thrilled that you guys are so committed to talking about real issues in the food world and not JUST doing the jokes and costumes. would love to see a video about the stereotypes and food waste that occurs around offal - organ meats can be so beautiful but theres so much negativity around the less marketable types.
WHOA... Ben is looking FIT!!!!! Nice
The expensive box is easy more than I would spend typically but, maybe for a special occasion I might spring for it. I do like the lack of plastic in the Ruby one as well
Easter with an hour early content from my favorite boys. Sign me up
Whoop whoop!
@@SortedFood also your pass it on playlist is missing pass it on canned video, I believe s2 15 so can you guys add it to it
Fyi in case you don't live in the UK we have changed to British summer time so the time has changed for the next six months x
Now I'm excited about filled easter eggs. In Switzerland we gift chocolate bunnies mostly, in a basket with lots of small chocolate eggs. We personally go to our very local organic chocolatier to get Our selection as we eat little chocolate and don't want to compromise quality, as well as get our toddlers taste acostumed . I also usually get a small pack of kinder eggs for our inner child.
I love hearing the differences between how things are pronounced in the UK vs US. It took me a minute to realize you were saying Aldi because in the US we pronounce it “ALL-DEE”. Great vid guys!
Yeaahhh classic americans to pronounce it wrong lol
I agree with Ebbers, ruby chocolate is like a white chocolate with a slight hint of raspberry. A ruby kitkat was I think the first time I tried it.
Ebbers clapping like "gimmie" at the egg sandwiches made me laugh 😂 I love it. I do the same thing!
I love that you left in the conversation about cocoa percentage/premium, nothing wrong with a corrected mistake. Felt very open
Also I’d rather shit egg than a non-egg at Easter
Easter=Easter egg to me
It is actually interesting that Barry's gut reaction to the Easter egg sandwich was that it was a fun little thing but his reaction to the vegan egg plant was "I don't like the shape. Why not just make an egg?"
Takes me back to Easter as a child with all the novelty shaped chocolates! I’m from the US and my faves were always the Reese’s eggs and See’s Candy dark chocolate bunny :) it was my fave holiday as a kid!
WOW! Watching a giant chicken take a large pink egg and drop it multiple times just to ‘break it’ made me laugh out loud! But watching an conversation about sourcing chocolate between a chef and a man-carrot, was Hysterical! I will never forget this day ! Thank You SORTEDFOOD !
I love seeing the variety of Easter chocolates, keep ‘em coming!
4th type of chocolate? My favourite chocolate is blonde. So ruby would be 5th?
Good call. The M&S blonde bar is the best dang chocolate bar ever!
@@mindthegap9541 fyi, their blonde easter egg is also amazing. Fun fact, it was only invented by accident a few years ago.
please, I need to know what blonde chocolate is!
@@ilsahartley5333 It's white chocolate that in making is heated higher for longer, and stirred constantly, which caremelises it. I absolutely love the stuff, but M&S are the only main seller I've found in the UK. It is to die for though!
Honestly, my favorite thing about these videos is that you introduce me to brands I've never heard of. Even though I live in the US, my best friend lives in Doncaster so she sends me some of these delicious treats.
This just made me want chocolat, especially the Ruby one. Sadly I can't buy it here in Denmark (I know cause I work in Aldi)
There's also a Dark Sugars shop in Greenwich, I love it!
Like Ebbers “I’m blaming lockdown” is my go to phrase for everything from weight gain to missed deadlines.
I also think it’s going to be a go to term in a lot of criminal cases - I wasn’t gonna rob the bank but you know... lockdown 🤷♀️
I had ruby chocolate a couple of years ago. The chocolatier told me what you said - basically unfermented (or less fermented). It tastes like strawberry-lime to me.
Now that I know such a place as "Hotel Chocolat" exists, I *must* go there!
You probably can't get them in the UK but at this time of year I LIVE for Queen Anne Dark Chocolate Coffee Latte Marshmallow Half Eggs... a New Zealand chocolatier's take on Easter eggs, they do a whole bunch of different flavoured marshmallows like pineapple, raspberry, or in this case coffee. They come in generous portions (egg shapes in half lengthwise) with good quality chocolate coverings over soft, tender marshmallow, in a box of eight halves. I am obsessed!
"Time to put the next lego hair on" caught me while I was mid-drink and I almost spit it up.
I can’t explain how much I love these boys
Tony is going to have a Charlie and the chocolate factory type of factory in the Netherlands. Which you will be able to visit and see “fun” stuff with chocolate.
I love ruby chocolate!!! I wonder if the American Aldi stores have those. I haven't been in a while, it might be time to take a trip to my local Aldi to see. Loved seeing all of the UK versions of Easter treats.
Best thing about the aubergine egg is that thanks to Tinder its still a symbol of fertility.
Gold 🎆
Honestly I have never thought of it that way, that’s kind of brilliant lol makes it seem a lots less (for want of a better word) vulgar
Yay! I'm so glad we've gotten another of these, I loved it when the chefs tested them!
I purposely didn’t click on this video until I was able to obtain some chocolate as I knew I’d get an overwhelming craving for it watching this
First the return of James, now the return of costumes ❤️ you guys bring joy upon this world.
Finally Sunday! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Someone gave me a Tony's bar as a gift for plant sitting. It was really good, I think a dark chocolate with salted almond. I generally don't like salted chocolate.
now i dont have to wait until midnight (asia gang) to watch you guys!
Re: the ruby chocolate egg - the brand, Moser Roth, makes some of my favourite chocolate. They make small chocolate bars in a lot of flavours that I like to have at home for a little dessert or with a cup of coffee or tea. Aldi (called Hofer here) has really great quality in my opinion. At least in Austria we get lots of local and also organic produce and their own brands easily compete with more expensive ones.
Can totally confirm! Love Moser Roth chocolates, I could eat a whole bar in minutes - maybe I will just because easter is a great excuse! (A neighbour from Hungary)
I'm so glad you featured Tony's Chocolonely - it's my brand of choice and I love their mission. I feel like most people do not know about them, here in America and I keep trying to spread the word among people I know.
Me: eating a Tony's Chocolonely bar while watching their review 😋
So did they read that weird or is their 'mission' using a slave worked factory but claiming they're totally going to make them change eventually because that sounds like...a huge lie...
@@shotgunbadger Yeah, I don't understand why that didn't immediately put them off it if they were looking for ethical chocolate.
Sounds exactly like what the huge multinationals say when they're caught. "uhhhh, yeah we're totally trying to change things from within, by using cheap slave labour to produce our overpriced product.
@@shotgunbadger it's not a slave-worked factory, it's a factory that makes products for other chocolate companies that are not slave-free, which is quite different!
What covers the window of the Ruby Chocolate Egg? Or is there just no plastic on inside the pack?
This is brilliant. Jamie looks amazing. lol
He kinda suits the outfit right?
I can hear Mike saying that line with his trademark take on the word amazing!
I would absolutely love those last chocolates. They sound divine. The sandwiches seem like great fun too.
Ah yes, I forgot UK switches their time in the middle of the year lmao this was a good surprise.
Mate I'm from the UK and I forgot completely til I read this
LMFAOOOOOO
I was a bit confused this morning as well 😂
Yes we do! We've gone forward an hour.... always slightly confusing!
@@SortedFood We in the US went forward a few weeks ago, so the time of videos has thrown off my Sunday morning routine. Now it's as it should be!
Aldi is in the US now too (if it’s the same Corp 🤔), I live in so cal.
