We’re all for celebrating any event or occasion at the moment (Pancake Day, Valentines Day and Mother’s Day included!) but you can’t beat going all-out for Easter. Regardless of whether you like to decorate your home for Easter, it’s still wonderful to give (and receive) a hand-crafted chocolate egg. Here we’ve scoured the high street for some of the very best Easter eggs on the market this year – from ornate, hand-decorated showstoppers to flat eggs than can be sent in the post. Tuck in!

Milk chocolate flat egg, £10.50, Bettys

Whether we can celebrate together or not this Easter, there’s no reason to miss out on giving (and receiving!) a delicious chocolate egg. These flat versions from Bettys cost £10.50 each and are just the things for popping in the post for friends and family to enjoy.

This egg-shaped gift box from Booja-Booja is a truly grown up Easter treat, and has been hand-painted by a community of artists in Kashmir, India. Filled with cocoa-dusted dark chocolate truffles, it would make a beautiful present for a friend or loved one.

This beautifully nutty Easter egg is crafted by chocolatiers in Tuscany. Cut in half, it reminds us of a beautifully ornate 17th or 18th century shell grotto! Perfect for an antiques lover…

Now, we love an egg that makes a statement. And this wrapped milk chocolate egg from Butlers Chocolates reminds us of the enormous eggs seen in corner shops and delis across Italy during Easter. Enrobed in a cloak of pearlescent recyclable wrap, inside find a dense chocolate egg filled with mini chocolates (flavours include caramel, raspberry, lemon, praline and a mix of milk, white and dark chocolate FYI!). It’s at the top of our Easter wish list…
