EGG-CELLENT EASTER TREATS

Be Chocolat Classic Easter Egg with Egglets

The eyes have it! It's a tough job resisting these luxury Be Chocolat eggs but to be honest, they're that good, we'd recommend you give in. Available in dark (vegan) chocolate, each egg comes with six melt-in-the-mouth praline egglets. £48

Montezuma's Chocolate Speckled Hen

What came first, the chicken or the egg? If Montezuma's tasty Easter offering is anything to go by, they're plumping for the chicken (ok, it's a hen) so they've fashioned this creamy salted caramel one complete with mini eggs. £26

Audrey's Chocolates Decorated Chocolate Easter Egg

The Hove-based chocolatier has been lovingly making small-batch chocolates since 1948. We love these traditional eggs – each one is hand-decorated with a unique design and filled with a selection of their chocolates. Perfection. From £39.95

Boho Gelato Ice-Cream

Boho Gelato's known for its seriously creative flavours and they love getting into a theme. Every year, they roll out all of the Easter-y flavours, like Mini Eggs, hot cross bun, creme egg and more across their three Brighton stores. There's always plenty of vegan options too. No, YOU'RE drooling.

Bird & Blend Cream Egg Tea

Tea lover in the house? Brew them a cup of this creme egg loose black tea! The smell is pure Easter. And if you prefer the ease of teabags, they've got them too. (If you're lucky, you may even still be able to get your hands on one of their limited-edition strawberries and cream matcha-infused eggs, too.) From £7.75

Chococo Giant Dinosaur Egg

Go digging for fossils with this mottled effect milk chocolate Chococo egg, which has mini dark and white choc dinosaurs and ammonites studded inside. It also comes in completely plastic-free packaging. Rawsome. £35

J. Cocoa Dark Chocolate Chilli Egg

Hassocks-based chocolatier J. Cocoa's creations are mini works of art – almost (almost) too good to eat. Their new Mexican chilli chocolate egg is our top pick this year (inspired by Carlito Burrito). Don't hang around though, their eggs always sell out. £20

Rye Chocolates Ginger Dark Chocolate Egg

Rye Chocolates always put together some great flavour combos and this 72-percent-dark Ecuadorian chocolate egg studded with crystallised ginger really hits the spot. Ginger not your thing? It comes in five flavour options. £22.95

Cocoa Loco Hot Cross Bun Truffles

For when you want the double Easter flavour hit of hot cross bun and chocolate, Sussex-based organic chocolatier Coco Loco's truffles are the one. We challenge you not to devour the lot in one sitting. £9.75

Raven's Bakery Hot Cross Buns

You can't talk about Easter treats without mentioning the hot cross buns from Raven's Bakery at Fiveways. There's a few reasons why people queue for them at the traditional bakery year after year – they're super fresh out of the oven, very tasty and good value. See you in the queue!

Melt’s Pistachio & Kataifi Breton Egg

After debuting last year when Dubai chocolate went viral, Melt London has brought back its pistachio and kataifi egg. It's made of solid rings of chocolate, giving it this striped effect. £74.99

Selfridges x Torres Crisp Egg

You never have to choose between crisps and chocolate again as Selfridges and Torres have gone and combined the two. Yep, this milk chocolate egg features salted crisps in the shell. £12.99

Maison François’ Cochon Egg

Forget chicks and bunnies, it’s all about pigs at Maison François this Easter. As well as featuring a chocolate piggy inside, this egg also comes with ten luxury truffles. £35

Il Gattopardo’s Leopard Egg

Il Gattopardo has brought back its iconic leopard print egg this Easter. Made using white and 66 percent dark chocolate from Valrhona, the egg is filled with little hazelnut, almond and pecan praline eggs. It's time to plan a trip to London – you can only buy this one at the Italian restaurant. £58
