A Little Taste: Easter Eggs

Chocolate eggs and bunnies galore

In case you (or the Easter Bunny) are looking for a little inspiration ahead of this weekend, here are my top picks…

This little fellow from Birley Bakery, one of my all-time most favourite chocolate shops, is PDC (pretty damn cute) and - I do not doubt - tastes pretty damn good too

Also, this little clutch of chocolate chicks, resting on a delectable-sounding slab of milk chocolate peppered with salted roasted corn kernels. Too more-ish for words.

Chocolate and honeycomb is pretty much a match made in heaven. Plus this golden egg comes in a very elegant box, which is always a win. I’m not going to lie: I do love a good gift box.

When Prada does eggs. The pink one (white chocolate and raspberry) at the end has my heart…

I love how realistic this little nest of sugar coated eggs looks and feels

And how beautiful are these? Exquisitely hand-painted confections: if Fabergé made chocolate eggs…

I’ve never been one to say no to pistachio and white chocolate - in any incarnation. This particular combination, with the whole nuts and the dried rose petals from Fortnum and Mason, looks especially good.

And while we’re running with a white chocolate theme, how sweet is this little guy? Albeit, possibly too sweet to actually eat.

For all the Peter Rabbit fans out there…

Because sometimes classic is best: a dark chocolate egg filled with dark chocolate truffles from British chocolatier, Charbonnel and Walker

These are cute. And filled with a creamy vanilla ganache to boot. Sort of like a Cadbury’s Creme Egg, but fancier.

This ‘boiled’ chocolate egg even comes with its own cup and spoon.

Ok, so it’s a chocolate egg but it’s also tiramisù. So many very good things all at once. My mind is blown (in the very best way possible).

For all of you out there who (like me) would choose croissants over eggs for breakfast every single time…

SO. VERY. PRETTY. I’m obsessed with the little sugar flowers adorning this deliciously old-fashioned chocolate egg.

Mini chocolate eggs, but make them champagne truffles.

If you love a Bounty Bar, then you’re going to go wild for this coconut-y chocolate egg

And for all the strawberry lovers (and vegans) out there…

Otherwise, if chocolate really isn’t your thing, there are always biscuits…
