Holy Week: the most “sinful” Easter eggs you can get

For boys and girls, Easter means chocolate. More than one will receive an Easter egg or have fun looking for it at home; thus forming part of a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. Over the centuries, the eggs have been transformed. We no longer find only chocolate but, now, they come with all kinds of fillings: pistachio, carrot cake, raspberries and more. This season, Lima’s pastry shops have shown off with decorations, each one more pleasant than the last. We present the most “sinful” versions. After seeing them they will want to fly out and buy one. You’re warned.
