Shoppers were left open-mouthed over the £15 price tag and demanded to know one key detail about the sweet treat.

The controversy was sparked on Very British Problems Facebook page when a photo of the pastry-inspired creation was shared.

Holding up the box for followers to see, the admin wrote: ⁘You know you're in Waitrose when you see an Easter egg shaped like a croissant.⁘

While many were left scratching their head over what blonde chocolate is (caramelized white chocolate), there was one question on the tip of everyone's tongues.

It's bad news though, as according to Waitrose's website the choccy croissant is indeed hollow - weighing in at 275g.

While some shoppers struggled to find the link between the French breakfast staple and Easter, others were totally sold.

A spokesperson for Waitrose said: ⁘With treats starting for less than £1, we've something for every budget and this No.1 Chocolate Croissant is our pièce de résistance.

⁘With customers already calling it 'simply the best chocolate ever tasted', we're confident it's well worth the dough.⁘

Waitrose's chocolate croissant is likely to become public enemy number one with thousands of Brits threatening to boycott Easter eggs as prices are set to soar this spring.
