Marks & Spencer's latest Easter offering has sparked intense debate on social media, as shoppers react to the launch of their Extra Thick Pistachio & Milk Chocolate Egg.
The luxury chocolate egg, spotted in M&S stores across the UK, has generated thousands of likes and comments after being featured by the food blog Newfoodsuk.
Taking to Facebook and Instagram, many social media users expressed immediate enthusiasm for the pistachio-flavoured creation.
"I really need this a lot," wrote one excited commenter, while another declared: "I said no Easter eggs this year then they bring this out."
'Why would you tempt me? Looks amazing'

Several shoppers tagged friends and family members with hopeful messages in an attempt to secure the nutty, chocolate concoction.
One said they'd "like this for Easter please", while another told a fellow M&S shopper to "get on the hunt".
"Oh my days" and "Oh wow" were common reactions, with multiple users vowing to visit their local supermarket immediately.
Others chorused, "Ooooh" and "Need", while another asked a loved one: "Why would you tempt me? Looks amazing."
Another enthusiastic customer observed: "Damn, I really need to go to M&S - they've got so many pistachio foods."
Indeed, M&S recently launched an "unbelievably good" pistachio treat that promises to "take indulgence to a whole new level".
The Collection Pistachio Creme spread was described as "super irresistible" by the supermarket, a decadent experience that "has to be tasted to be believed".
However, the pistachio and chocolate Easter egg's price tag has sparked backlash from some shoppers.
Prices may vary in selected stores and online at Ocado, but several locations are selling the 485g egg for £20.
One social media user stated: "20 quid?! Another seconded this, asking: "£20? In this economy?"

Waitrose has also brought out a popular pistachio Easter egg, dubbed 'amazing' by customers. Shaped like a pistachio nut, it features Fairtrade cocoa and white chocolate and contains real pistachios nibs - but it's not cheap either, costing £17 for just 320g.
While both eggs are undoubtedly pricey, they don't top the pistachio price charts. Melt London is selling a Pistachio & Kataifi Breton Egg described as 'dense yet creamy' for a staggering £69.99 - although you do get a hefty 700g worth of chocolate.
