Best white chocolate Easter eggs

We adored the design of this blonde chocolate Easter egg from Aldi and were as impressed with the flavours. The egg has sweet honeycomb pieces mixed throughout, the decorative bees have a salted caramel centre  - and there’s even a drawer filled with hexagonal honey caramel truffles! This really is excellent value for money. 

This egg is one of our top choices for gifting due to the attractive tin, which is perfect for storing homemade baked goods once the chocolate has been eaten. Hotel Chocolat’s white chocolate recipe uses 36% cocoa butter, which is noticeably higher than others on the market and delivers in flavour. 

This fun novelty Easter egg delivers punchy, unusual flavours. The caramelised white chocolate, also known as blonde chocolate, is brilliantly balanced with sharp pomegranate notes.

Best Children's Easter Eggs

The quality of the chocolate is the real star of this egg, it’s not too sweet and the buttons add a lovely extra crunch.

These are great for younger children and include a white chocolate sheep, Wooliam, a caramel-milk hen, Elizapeck, and a 40% milk chocolate rabbit named Rabbert. 

Kids love dinosaurs and let’s be honest, most adults do too. This egg is full of fun and the chocolate is great too.
