RELIGIOUS leaders have hit out after a Scottish company started selling Buckfast-flavoured Easter eggs.

The Fife firm Chillilicious also produce crystal-meth ‘Breaking Bad’ eggs in tribute to the hit US show about a teacher who becomes a drug dealer .

But church chiefs have failed to see the funny side and believe it is totally inappropriate to mix drink and drugs with a religious festival celebrating the resurrection of Christ.

A Church of Scotland spokesman told the Scottish 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.”

Chillilicious operate Scotland’s only chilli farm at the small village of Ceres, near Cupar in Fife.

They sell their Buckfast chocolate eggs online and market it under the slogan: "The essential flavour of Scottish youth (that's youths over 18 of course)... made by English monks!"

Their Breaking Bad egg features a helpful disclaimer that states: "Does not contain actual crystal meth ."
