It's no secret that chocolate eggs are one of Australia's favourite Easter treats (along with hot cross buns, of course!). This was as true back in 1979 as it is today, when Greg Evans visited the Red Tulip factory in Prahran, Melbourne and then reported back to host Mike Walsh on the popular daytime talk show, The Mike Walsh Show.

Evans is taken through the process of making Easter eggs – from the formation of the shells to the wrapping – and even shows how easy it is to sneak some chocolate while on the job. The segment ends with Evans interviewing kids about the religious significance (or not) that Easter holds for them.
