Chocolate eggs are deeply associated with Easter celebrations in both Brazil and the United States. In Brazil, it's a major commercial tradition with elaborate and expensive versions sold during the Easter season (Páscoa). Families often exchange chocolate eggs as gifts, and they're prominently displayed in shops and supermarkets. The tradition blends religious significance with secular consumerism. In the USA, chocolate eggs are part of Easter egg hunts and are given to children as treats, particularly branded versions like Cadbury eggs.
