We look forward to Easter for the very same reason we anticipate the arrival of spring – warmer weather, outdoor celebrations, picnics, garden parties and, most importantly of all, chocolate eggs.
While our favourite chocolatiers tend to stagger the release of their most delicious, new and improved chocolate eggs, there’s one particular Easter-themed item of confectionary which hits the markets early – indicating to us that sunnier times are ahead. As soon as Cadbury’s Mini Eggs are spotted next to the checkout of our local supermarkets, we begin our spring cleaning preparations.
It just so happens that we at ES Best currently have a stack of Mini Eggs on our desks. This means that it’s finally time for us to round up a selection of the best Easter eggs on the market, so that you can secure your favourite festive treats before they sell out.
From the luxurious to the weird and wonderful and even a dedicated vegan selection – we’ve got you covered. However, if you’ve found yourself scrolling through this particular article, chances are you’re in the market for some child-friendly chocolate eggs this Easter.
When it comes to pleasing the kids with chocolatey treats over the Easter period, their little hands tend to reach towards sweet and sometimes whacky designs. From chocolate eggs plastered with characters from their favourite TV shows to outrageously colourful and interactive crafts – the crazier, the better.
We’ve curated a selection of the best chocolate Easter eggs for kids in 2024, from the classic to the new and improved. Let’s get cracking.
