Kangaroos, Ugg boots, and the Hemsworth brothers are no longer the best things to come out of Australia. Not now that the country has given us the best Easter treat that we could have asked for: coffee in a chocolate egg.
The eggspresso – seriously, though, how did nobody think of this sooner? – basically consists of espresso that is poured into hollow chocolate Cadbury egg. The egg, which melts on contact with the hot coffee, mixes with the espresso to create what is pretty much the best milk-less caramel mocha latte you've ever seen.
The new trend, which originally started in Australia and New Zealand, took off after a Karvan Coffee, a cafe in Perth, Australia, posted videos to Instagram showcasing the process of espresso being poured into the chocolate eggs on their coffee bar.

Since then, the video has racked up over 2,600 views and sparked a coffee-chocolate-egg frenzy across the globe, with people everywhere posting their own homemade eggspressos for the world to marvel at. Obviously, Delish couldn't resist.

And while we're still trying to wrap our heads around the (glorious) fact that eggspressos are now a thing, Karvan decided to up their Cadbury egg game even more; this time, with an Instagram post showing the Karvan crew celebrating the viral success of the eggspresso with some delicious eggspresso martinis.

We're not 100% sure what the eggspresso martini is, but we'll have one when we're done drinking our eggspresso. Please and thank you, mate.
