Chocoholics beware - Nestl Rowntree has unveiled its Easter range for 1999.

The mouth-watering selection includes no fewer than 48 Easter eggs, five filled eggs and four types of mini-egg.

While most of the range is new for next year, the old stalwarts - Quality Street, Smarties, Rolo and Aero - will still be on the shelves come the spring.

Newcomers include white After Eight eggs, Giant Smarties eggs and eggs that tie in with Disney films.

The Disney range features eggs inspired by films including A Bug's Life, Simba's Pride, and the Little Mermaid.

More adult tastes are catered for by Perugina mini-eggs, which taste of cappuccino almond and hazelnut truffles, while Rolo Cookies'n'Caramel eggs are aimed at the impulse buyer.

Teenagers are to be targeted by the new Premier Collection egg, which includes Yorkie, Peanut Lion and Maverick bars and a shell egg wrapped in foil to look like a football.
