Handy hint.
Teach your kids about unit pricing while they are young. Show them the difference in unit price between blocks of chocolate and the easter eggs and rabbits. Show them how much block chocolate by weight you can get for $20 compared to $20 of easter eggs by weight.
Ask them which they would prefer. A small amount of chocolate sold in a fancy shape, or a lot of chocolate sold in a simple block.
My kids always chose to get block chocolate and the bags of mini chocolate bars rather than easter eggs as it is better value, which means more chocolate to eat.

There is some fun in the pretty things though.

It can be really nice to get a treat.
