With Easter weekend on the horizon, the allure of indulging in some luxury Easter eggs is growing even stronger. This year, we’ve found eggs which combine a taste sensation with a feast for the eyes; sculpted, painted, hand-poured and crafted by some of the country’s leading chocolatiers.
Instead of feeling sad and disheartened at the speedy passing of time, the quirky religious tradition of milk chocolate egg gifting (plus four days out-of-office and some hopeful sunshine) has got us looking forward to its return with glee.
Luckily, skilled chocolatiers have been busy crafting extravagant, limited-edition Easter treats to tickle the tastebuds of every chocolate lover in town. While we love the classic options you can grab at the supermarket — Mini Eggs, Cadbury, Maltesers — there’s a whole world of luxury Easter eggs that are far better suited for gifting a loved one than for an Easter egg hunt in the garden. Thanks, Hotel Chocolat, Fortnum & Mason, Venchi, and Butlers.
Our edit of the best luxury Easter eggs of the year features £100 hand-painted Easter eggs, single-origin dark chocolate eggs, huge ostrich eggs packed with chocolate treats, Easter bunnies and everything in between. The most divine egg-shaped chocolate shells flavoured in honeycomb, pistachio, sea salt and stuffed with caramel truffles, milk chocolate truffles and mini eggs are ahead. Just don’t sleep on it – these luxury Easter eggs are so good that they’re expected to sell out within days. And we’d hate for you to be left with no choice but to trek to the local petrol station for a sub-£5 number.
