My household has sadly aged out of Easter egg hunts but we will never age out of eating chocolate.
While I would always be happy with a Smarties egg, there are lots of more innovative and fun options out there for Easter chocolate, including a good range of vegan and free-from eggs, so no-one gets left out.
I did a taste test with my daughter and three other children, and they all agreed on the best – and very worst – eggs.
M&S The Original Very Moreish Munch Egg
£10/315g (£31.75/kg)
This one was universally loved, by children and grown ups alike. The chocolate Stanley Squirrel egg, studded with roasted peanuts, tastes great. But it’s the accompanying (150g) bag of “moreish munch” that sees a fight break out. A mix of milk and white chocolate coated popcorn, salted pretzels, sugar coated chocolate and chocolate covered almonds, peanuts and pretzels. In the end, I confiscated it to eat myself. Very wise of M&S to have extended this Christmas favourite to the Easter range.
5/5
Tesco Finest Double Layer Salted Pretzel Chocolate Egg
£14/210g (£66.67/kg)
A firm favourite. The kids say they can understand why it costs what it does (more than the M&S one) and they like the speckles of hand-decorated gold paint on the dark egg. The egg is Belgian milk chocolate with an inside layer of salty white chocolate studded with pretzels. For me it’s an ideal blend of sweet, crunchy and savoury. A perfect choice for the tweenager in your life.
5/5
Waitrose Choc Full Egg
£8.50/200g (£42.50/kg)
Smart and simple, this one keeps the sticky fingers coming back for more. An attractively large egg studded with mini sugar coated chocolate eggs and laced throughout with popping candy. It’s a great meeting point between a fun kids’ egg and something for a more mature chocolate fan.

Sophie Morris says the Aldi Choceur Jammy Wheel Biscuit is fun to look at and yet vile to eat (Photo: Teri Pengilley)Aldi Choceur Jammy Wheel Biscuit Egg
£8.99/325g (£27.70/kg)
So fun to look at and yet so vile to eat. You can smell this jammy wheel-inspired egg at 10 paces thanks to its overpowering fragrance of biscuit mixed with Caramac. It’s pretty hefty and I admire how they’ve laced the chocolate with the jam, but we have four haters among the testers and one who likes it, but wouldn’t want to eat much. It’s incredibly sickly; I wouldn’t leave a little one alone with it if you don’t want to be clearing up after them. I’m sure it’s possible to create fun treaty food without feeding our kids this poison.
1/5
Chococo Blonde Chocolate Bunny in a Box
£10/115g (£86.95/kg)
Blonde chocolate, a caramelised, brown butter-esque play on white, is having a moment. My favourite is from ethical Dorset-based Chococo, whose products are sustainable and made using slave-free chocolate. They have six shops across London and the south west and normally have a wide range available in John Lewis.
4/5
Lindt Gold Bunny crispy biscuit milk chocolate egg
£13/195g (£66.70/kg) £11 with Tesco Clubcard
New for 2026 and a great addition to the Lindt bunny warren. The crispy biscuit flavour livens up the creamy milk chocolate and the iconic bunny is wearing a cute spotted ribbon. The crispy biscuit bunny is also available to buy alone (£5). Pricier than own-brand options but everyone loves a Lindt bunny.
4/5
Tesco Thornton’s milk chocolate dinosaur egg
£5.85/151g (£38.74/kg)
Squeals of delight as the egg is pulled out of the box to reveal a roaring T-rex face in white and green on the milk chocolate egg. The chocolate has a somewhat oily aftertaste but it’s passable. Also available in a unicorn design. Straightforward and sweet.

Sophie’s daughter, Percy, particularly enjoyed Tesco’s salted pretzel egg (Photo: Teri Pengilley)ASDA Free From Patch the Bunny
£4.60/100g (£46/kg)
None of my testers are dairy-free so they’re not used to free-from chocolate. They notice it tastes slightly different but aren’t put off overall, saying the bunny looks good and seems good value, too. Made with rice syrup and flour, coconut oil and inulin (for texture and sweetness).
3/5
Lidl Mister Choc Decorate your own egg
£4.99/229g (£21.79/kg)
A fun idea this one: a chocolate egg packed with a bag of jelly sweets and a small tube of icing to decorate it with. I don’t rate the chocolate and the children say the icing is a bit too thin to hold the sweets in place. But this one wins some points for innovation. What’s more, it will definitely buy you a few minutes of peace on Easter morning.
3/5
Tesco Terry’s Chocolate Orange Exploding Candy Minis Easter Egg
£2/91g (£21.98/kg)
Sometimes it’s the little things that genuinely spark joy. This egg splits into two halves with ease, like all eggs should, to reveal a handful of mini chocolate orange wedges crammed with popping candy. I’m aware there are plenty of Terry’s chocolate orange purists out there, but it’s worth relaxing your standards for this one.
3/5
Ocado NOMO Little Monsters egg and lolly
£4.50/92g (£4.89/kg)
The inside of this box is covered in puzzles and games and the kids spring straight to doing these instead of tearing into the chocolate (though it is fair to say they’ve tasted a few eggs by this point…). The egg is popular, too – dairy-free and studded with crispy rice bits – and it comes with a foil-wrapped lolly for later. A modestly-sized and entertaining treat for younger children.

£4/150g (£26.67/kg)
12 eggs in 10 flavours…this is the Easter treat for little ones who are happy to share. Tony’s has done a brilliant marketing job on young people and the kids all declare they love the brand before we’ve tried the eggs. The carton is a fun way to package these and the flavours include dark, milk and white as well as nougat, almond, popping sugar and sea salt. A useful trick to have up one’s sleeve if you need some quiet time to prep Easter lunch.
3.5/5
ALDI Choceur disco ball egg
£4.99/200g (£24.95/kg)
Such a great idea, it’s a wonder I haven’t seen it before. This “egg” has a honeycomb pattern to mimic a real glitter ball as well as shiny gold paint, while the chocolate is full of popping candy. The chocolate itself doesn’t taste great but I suspect most kids will be having too much fun to notice.
2/5
M&S Shaggy the Shetland
£7/155g (£45/kg)
Shaggy is one of a growing stable of M&S Easter characters that seemingly have little to do with the theme of Easter but are nonetheless very cute and covetable. If horses aren’t your child’s thing, choose from Hiccup the Hippo, Sunny the Sloth, Ralph the Cavapoo and Dougal the Puppy (a white Westie). The choc is nice and thick so there’s a satisfying snap when we decapitate the pony. The blend of milk and white chocolate is very mild on cocoa flavour but simultaneously not too sweet.
3/5
ASDA OMV Vegan choc orange and caramel crisp egg
£4.90/160g (£30.60/kg)
The lovely ridges give this egg a distinctly premium feel. The crispy, orange-flavoured egg is very popular at first and some go in for seconds and thirds, but in the end the lingering orange oil taste is pronounced not very nice. Made with rice syrup, starch and flour and inulin for texture and sweetness.
