CONTROVERSIAL Buckfast Easter Eggs have sold out in one day and there is no date yet over when they will go back on sales.

Fife-based Chillilicious which came up with a Scottish ranger of Easter eggs - featuring Irn Bru, Buckfast and whisky, said they hope to open up the eggs for ordering in about a fortnight.

The eggs, which cost £9.95, has caused a stir, with SNP MP Roger Mullin receiving criticism from the Church of Scotland after he told his Twitter followers 'it's great'.

The firm said: “We’ve been totally blown away by the support for our new easter egg range - more eggs getting made soon."

Mr Mullin tweeted after hearing of the bizarre Easter offering: Enjoying an imaginative product made in #Fife: Buckfast and chilli flavoured dark chocolate. Honest. It's great."

However, a Church of Scotland spokesperson told The Sun: "Combining Buckfast with Easter is not a marriage made in heaven. Easter is a special time of year and we would urge people not to lose sight of that in the rush to promote products which could send the wrong message to our children."

Other chocolates sold by Chillilicious include whisky and an Irn-Bru and bacon combo.

The Fife firm said the Buckfast chocolate and egg uses flavourings and does not contain any alcohol.
