When it comes to picking an Easter egg you've got plenty of choice this year, but your eyes will no doubt do a double-take if you spot this particular treat on supermarket shelves.

Supermarket shoppers think this Egg looks more like a potato than a white chocolate treat - and can you blame them? Morrisons brought back its most popular Easter Eggs - including the Best Belgian White & Blonde Chocolate Easter egg.

While there's no doubt people love it for its delicious flavour, its appearance is what has got people talking. Taking to the Facebook group Snack News & Reviews, one member shared a picture of the egg, writing: "The [potato emoji] Egg is back at Morrisons!"

"I mite [sic] get one and put my sons Mr potato head bits on it," said another, while a sixth added: "Is it just me who looked initially at that and thought it was a jacket spud?"
