STORY: These extravagant Easter eggs are

made almost entirely of chocolate

Location: Brussels, Belgium

Twenty of the best Belgian chocolate chefs

were invited to exhibit their creations

in a chic Brussels hotel

"It's a moment of sharing, it's not a competition, it's not a selection, it's really getting together the 20 of us and sharing our creations with the public."

Their eggs stood 20-23 inches tall

and while edible, were not for sale

(Michael Lewis-Anderson, Chocolatier)

"There's roughly about 45 kilos of chocolate inside, it's quite heavy, actually. Transportation was a little bit scary, because obviously, as you see it's going up and you don't want it to have the tower of Pisa effect, falling over in Brussels."

The exhibition runs until after Easter
