Painting eggs

I feel as if I'm teaching my Granny to suck eggs.......The Portuguese desserts of Easter time show  an entire variety of special sweet things ; baskets with painted eggs of several colours, crowns with eggs, brioches and pies but above all the chocolate eggs and the almonds are the most representative.Who doesn´t still get a thrill from cracking open the brittle chocolate of a hollow gold wrapped  Lindt bunny with its tinkly bell.How can anything so sweet be so moreish? This fat easter hen is feeling peckish already.....
