Hotel Chocolat Competition PrizeHotel Chocolat has teamed up with The Foodie List and Spittoon Extra to offer you an exclusive Online Easter Egg Hunt in the run up to Easter.

To enter the competition and find the chocolate goodies, you need to answer the five questions below and use the first letter of each answer to create a secret password.
