We're starting off strong with one of our all-time favourites Gnaw! Inspired by the lack of great-tasting, consciously sourced chocolate, Matt & Teri Legon, formed Gnaw in 2010 and have been on a mission ever since to bring their conscious chocolate to every corner of the UK and the rest of the world.
Based in the picturesque city of Norwich, they believe customers deserve happiness, luxury and playfulness every time they open a bar, an ethos that is present in their packaging and down to the last chocolate flake.
This year, they have gone to town on their flat eggs, bringing you a slab of sleek milk chocolate decorated with top-notch ingredients that you can really get your teeth into. There is no disagreeing when it comes to their description of these being 'the happiest eggs around'. Covered in rainbow sprinkles, nuts, swirls or even rocky road, these are an indulgent treat that'll go down well with all the family.
The best part: they are post-able so you can easily ship them to a loved one who may be away from home this year. Plus, they use real ingredients, never use palm oil, pay their cocoa farmers fairly and their packaging is compostable/recyclable from home.
Coming in at £10.95, these really are a no-brainer! Order your favourite here.
If you like variation when it comes to your Easter chocolate, then you'll definitely fall in love with the chocolate emporium Rumsey's Handmade Chocolates has created this year. (We certainly have!) Starting in a small catering unit Master chocolatier, Nigel Rumsey has been creating his exquisite range of award-winning handmade chocolates since 1991.
Driven by a passion for crafting exceptional products using only the finest ingredients, it has grown into a beloved high-street name, with charming chocolateries in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, and Thame, Oxfordshire, alongside a thriving online shop, and there's no surprise why!
Rumsey's is where nostalgia and modern-day collide, and this Easter, we have it all. From miniature easter chocolate shapes, chocolate bunny rabbits, ducklings and hens to giant luxurious eggs in milk, white and dark chocolate, they truly do have something for all the family.
Handcrafted in small batches, their flavour profile is superior to mass-produced eggs and you get significantly more chocolate too. When it comes to chocolate lovers, that's all we need to hear to be sold on any chocolate, am I right?
With prices ranging from £6.50 - £49.95, there's certainly something to suit every budget. The problem is actuallychoosing which to pick! Find your favourites here.
Heritage, artistic and homely are the three words that come to mind when viewing Salcombe Dairy's 2025 Easter selection. Founded by Peter and Tricia Howard in 1979, Salcombe Dairy's origins lie with ice cream!
Long before “slow food” became a movement, Salcombe Dairy was already leading the way in handcrafting traditional Devonshire ice cream using local ingredients, a practice that continues over 40 years later. In recent decades, the business has been lovingly stewarded by the Boscawen and Bly families, whose passion and commitment have remained unwavering, guiding the company’s expansion into the world of artisan chocolate.
This year they are serving delicate springtime. Each egg has been beautifully crafted using fair trade white, blonde, milk or dark chocolate and adorned with honeycomb and fudge or hand decorated with spring blooms such as bluebells and primroses. If Bridgerton was based at Easter, you'd certainly see the members of the Ton gifting and very much delving into these.
That's not all! Not only do you get an egg, but each comes with chocolate buttons, bars or truffles. Plus, all of their chocolate is nut-free, gluten-free, soy-free and palm oil-free, making these a brilliant choice for gifting this season...even if it is to yourself.
Ranging from £17.50 - £29.50, these are very reasonably priced and in even better news, they currently have a half-price discount meaning you can get more chocolate. How could we possibly say no? Find your favourites here, and don't forget to use EGGFORFREE or HALFPRICEEASTER at the checkout.
If you're after creativity, luxury and quintessentially British flavour, then Langleys is the place for you this Easter. Founded in 2018 by chocolatier Amanda Langley, the business began humbly in her family kitchen on the stunning North Cornwall coast.
Guided by a passion for spreading joy, Amanda embraced experimentation ultimately crafting what Langleys is now best known for: irresistibly chocolatey rocky road. And with how loved rocky road is in the UK, we aren't surprised that they have gone from kitchen to high street store in such a short space of time.
This Easter, Langleys is bringing the rocky road magic with a showstopping collection of seven indulgent eggs. Available in rich milk or bold dark chocolate, these extra-thick, luxury eggs come in one generous size because let’s be honest, who wants less chocolate at Easter? Certainly not us!
Each egg is also filled with Langleys’ signature rocky road truffles. Loved for their rich, indulgent flavour you'll find tempting varieties such as Salted Caramel, Cornish Fudge and Trevethan Gin. The flavour profiles Amanda has crafted are truly one of a kind. Distinctive, decadent and worlds apart from anything you’ll find on the supermarket shelves, making these Easter treats all the more irresistible.
Coming in at £30, this will truly be an Easter Egg to remember. View their range here.
Not really an Easter Egg person? Don't fret because Choc on Choc is the home of alternative chocolate treats that ooze the WOW factor. The story began back in 2003, when father-daughter duo Kerr Dunlop and Flo Broughton started experimenting with filling rubber moulds shaped like noughts and crosses, thinking they'd make charming gifts for family. And just like that, a deliciously creative brand was born.
Situated in Rode Village, Bath, the brand has become a beloved favourite among customers and high street retailers alike thanks to their original and now patented concept of layering chocolate on chocolate to create stunning, one-of-a-kind designs.
Remember we mentioned a GIANT Custard Cream? The Custard Cream egg from M&S has gone viral online, but they weren't the first to recreate the classic biscuit in chocolate. Choc on Choc have an amazing look-alike range of British biscuits that have to be seen to be believed, including their luxurious white Belgian chocolate Custard Cream. Weighing in at a generous 470g, it’s the perfect amount of chocolate to savour with your tea break, after dinner or whenever the craving strikes.
Their creativity doesn't stop there, however. They have a wide range of Easter-themed chocolates varying in size, flavour profile and shapes. From mini hot cross buns and indulgently filled quail’s eggs to playful fried eggs on toast, alongside classic bunnies, chicks, and ducks—each treat is a little piece of chocolate heaven.
And with prices starting from £12, you can't go wrong. Find your favourites here.
If unique, fun-filled eggs are what you're on the hunt for, then Chococo is going to tick your boxes. Founded in 2002 by husband-wife team, Andy and Claire Burnet, Chococo was one of the first UK artisan chocolatiers to pioneer making fresh chocolates using locally sourced seasonal ingredients.
Situated on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, the brand was created out of a love for fine-quality chocolate. What started as a dream in a small unit in Swanage has gone from strength to strength and is now a thriving chocolate company with four chocolate houses in Swanage, Winchester, Exeter and Horsham.
When it comes to Easter, Chococo doesn’t hold back. Injecting some much-needed flair into the Easter egg scene, they’ve crafted a bold and unmistakably unique style that’s all their own. Their signature geometric paint-splattered works of art are studded with hidden ocean creatures and dinosaurs inside, creating a whimsical, chocolatey adventure that delights both kids and grown-ups alike.
Available in milk, dark and plant-based options, their range this year also features miniature Easter animals, as well as geometric bunnies and penguins. With prices ranging from £8.50 - £33.50, there’s something to delight everyone in your circle. Explore their collection here.
We couldn't talk about Easter and not include Bettys! Established by a young Swiss baker and confectioner, Fritz Bützer in Harrogate in 1919, Bettys has since become synonymous with class, elegance and unmatched experience.
Boasting exquisite chocolates and delicate continental cakes that earned it Royal Patronage, the brand has experienced exponential growth from its humble beginnings. Yet, it’s the vision of its founder that continues to drive its success and shape its future today.
If you're looking for the perfect Easter gift or planning an Easter-themed afternoon tea that'll make others green-eyed with envy, Bettys is the place to be. From biscuits to novelty cakes and of course, Easter chocolate, they have everything to take Easter from blah to dazzling.
One of their Easter Eggs in particular has made some waves in the press this year gaining Bettys the title of most expensive on the market. Coming in at a whopping £395 their Grande Easter Egg is ornately embellished with a hand-piped floral design and weighs 5.4kg. And after our mention of Brigerton earlier, there's no doubt in our minds that this egg would be part of a lavish table display at the Queen's Ball.
Of course, the showstopper may be out of reach for some budgets, so Bettys has thoughtfully created a smaller version, alongside three other speciality eggs, adorable miniature white and milk chocolate bunnies, hand-painted ganache eggs, and a luxurious caramel-filled chocolate assortment. With prices ranging from £8.50 to £42.25, we're sure there will be something that'll take your fancy. View the range here.
