A 3kg sweet treat to really get your teeth into

A GIANT chocolate “dinosaur” egg is being given away as part of an annual Easter raffle by a Teesdale business to help raise funds for two local charities.
Chocolate Fayre, on Barnard Castle’s Horsemarket, has been providing supersized chocolate prizes every spring for the past four years.
In that time customers have raised hundreds of pounds for local good causes.
Owner Kenny Walker said: “This year the prize is an enormous chocolate egg which is almost two feet long and weighs more than 6.5lb (3kg).
“It would certainly keep whoever wins it in chocolate for some time.”
With the success of previous charity raffles, Chocolate Fayre decided this year the proceeds from the giant egg will once again be split between two local causes – the Great North Air Ambulance Service, and Cotherstone Pre-School.
Mr Walker added: “The air ambulance potentially benefits everyone in the dale and beyond, yet receives no government funding whatsoever, depending entirely on donations to be able to operate and continue to provide life-saving emergency care to anyone who needs it, whenever they need it.”
