With Easter coming up, the shops are stacked full of Easter eggs. The top branded goods have taken to the shelves but many supermarkets are competing, offering their own versions of the much-loved seasonal treat.
The variety is endless, from your classic milk chocolate goods to eggs with all the bells and whistles, there's something for everyone. Many supermarkets are including added treats, such as truffles, to make their offerings just that little bit more tempting.
However, the price points of the chocolate goods is as wide-ranging as the choice. Budget supermarkets like Aldi are sticking to their roots and stocking low-priced eggs while the premium shops have delivered more 'luxury' options.

But, does a higher price point mean a better egg? We tasted two eggs to try to answer that question.
Waitrose's posh egg is priced at £10.45 and is described as a "blonde chocolate Easter Egg with salted caramel truffles". Aldi's option is a more affordable £3.99 and is detailed as a "Belgian milk chocolate and salted caramel ripple egg, with crunch caramel pieces and sea salt".
Luckily for the Bristol Live team, the timing of my highly anticipated Easter egg taste test happened to be when many other colleagues were in the office - so I let them know they were going to be my guinea pigs. I didn't get any objections.
Senior reporter Beth was the first to bravely blind taste the goods, stepping forward with her eyes closed in order to make sure she was giving a non-biased opinion. Her first sample was the Aldi option, which she fondly expressed her love for - giving an honourable mention to the thickness of the chocolate.
Next up, the Waitrose opposition, which Beth turned her nose up to, simply stating that the chocolate was too thin. She was even more horrified once I relayed the price, which she happily declared a rip-off.
Agenda editor Estel was next to step up the challenge and she disagreed, and was simply blown away by Waitrose's golden goods. She accused Aldi of falsifying in their description, claiming it was just "normal chocolate". Bold.
Estel returned to eat more of the Waitrose egg on multiple occasions and within minutes texted her partner requesting he buy her her own luxury treat. I think it's fair to say her favourite was clear.
After seeing my colleagues' conflicting stances, I decided it was my turn to try these eggs for myself. I was drawn to the Waitrose option first and I must say, I was impressed. As someone who can easily get a bit sick of chocolate, the lightness of the egg was perfect for me. It's undeniably sweet but still moreish.
Next for me to try was the Aldi option and I have to side with Estel. It was nice but no more than any standard chocolate egg. Though, at £3.99, can you demand much more?
Suddenly, I remembered, this wasn't the end of our excitement - Waitrose's egg came with truffles. I excitedly grabbed them from their box and bit into one. This was a mistake.
They were filled with a particularly runny caramel which, to my colleagues' enjoyment, almost made me choke (I advise any Waitrose truffle eaters to be cautious). I carried on eating away and honestly I wish I didn't. The words "this is the worst truffle I've had in my life" left my mouth and I stand by it!
It was bitter in taste and honestly like nothing I've ever had before, thankfully. My fingers are still stained by the gold glitter they were coated in and I can only hope it will eventually come off.
The rest of the newsroom was now rushing towards the eggs, excited to enjoy a 3pm energy boost. I think some of my colleagues were too excited by the chocolate to care to distinguish but from what I can make out, the Aldi egg was the winner.
Both were nice, truffles aside, but for the price difference - I'd go for the cheap Easter egg all the way.
