Shoppers furious as Easter is ruined by disgusting MOULDY chocolate eggs and ‘disappointing’ supermarket treats
FURIOUS shoppers have slammed supermarkets after cracking open their chocolate eggs and getting some shocking surprises.
Customers of Aldi, Tesco and Sainsbury's took to social media to blast the retailers after discovering their Easter treats were far from egg-cellent.
One outraged shopper from Aldi posted a picture of his mouldy rocky road flavoured egg to Twitter and urged other shoppers to check their chocolate before tucking in.
The chocolate egg, made by Aldi brand Choceur, is described as being "loaded" with bits of marshmallow, honeycomb and pieces of pretzel.
But after opening the box, the shopper was mortified to see that the bottom of the egg was completely mouldy.
He said: "Mouldy Easter egg from Aldi. Make sure you check yours."

Aldi said: "Sorry to see this, please feel free to return the packaging and receipt to the store for a full refund at your next convenience."
A spokesperson told that: "Although very rare, incidents like this can occasionally occur if packaging is damaged at any point before the product is consumed.
"We have apologised to [the customer] and offered him a full refund."
Another customer was also disappointed when they sat down to enjoy a chocolatey treat bought from Tesco.
The Twitter user had bought Cluckie the White Choc Chick - out of Tesco's Free From range.
But were shocked to discover that the chick had been squashed during production.
Sharing a picture of their Easter disappointment to social media they fumed: "Thanks Tesco, really looking forward to eating my only egg."
A spokesperson for Tesco said: "We're sorry to hear about this.
"If a customer is not satisfied with a product, they can always return it to us for a full refund."
Aldi and Tesco were not the only ones coming under fire, two Sainsbury's customers also hit out after discovering a fault with their £3.50 Belgian Milk Chocolate Eggs.
When opening the box they were shocked to see that the eggs appear to have collapsed during production, and we were no longer egg-shaped.
One said: "How disappointing, just opened my Easter egg from my husband to find this."
However, the second shopper was able to see the funny side and said: "Just opened my Easter egg... don't know what happened to it but I have to say it is more convenient to eat this way."
Sainsbury's responded: "Sorry for the damaged Easter egg.
"Can you DM us with the full name, address, postcode and email on the account? I'll look into this for you."
