The best Easter eggs for 2025, as chosen by woman&home food editors

Ok, technically not pure milk, this egg is a blend of dark and milk chocolate giving it all of the flavour of a great quality milk chocolate that's not overly sweet. Made from cocoa beans from Cote d'Ivoire supporting Rainforest Alliance certified farms.

Georgia Sparks, Food writer said ‘I love the flavour of this egg, the creamy milk chocolate and the slight bitterness from the dark makes a great combination.’

Whilst this may seem like a pretty simple egg, it really delivers on flavour. A delicious dark chocolate. Plus, you get a lovely mug too, the perfect size for a creamy coffee, ideal for dunking your egg into!

Jen Bedloe, Food Director said ‘This egg would make the perfect gift. Not only is the chocolate great, the sweet mug that comes with it makes it feel more personal.’

Creamy vanilla white chocolate with a zingy hint of lemon. This large egg is filled with white chocolate buttons- a bonus! Plus it’s Fairtrade certified, organic and palm oil free, making it good for the planet too.

Jess Meyer, Food Editor said ‘I love the sharp lemon and how it contrasts with the creamy white chocolate, it reminds me of sherbet.’

An innovative take on a classic Easter egg, the flat-out flavour of creamy and toasty blonde chocolate scattered with crisp biscuit crumbs had us all going back for more.

Catrina Gell, Food Assistant said ‘This delicious blonde chocolate has a wonderful toasty flavour, a lot we’ve tried have been too sweet but this one is just right.’

Salty and sweet with a delicious creamy chocolate shell. If you’re a fan of honeycomb you won’t be disappointed by the combo.

Rose Fooks said ‘The crunchy honeycomb and saltiness of the pretzel paired with creamy chocolate make a heavenly pairing.’

Almost too beautiful to eat, this luxuriously creamy milk chocolate egg is hand-decorated with elegant and colourful spring flowers. Packaged in a pretty box it makes the perfect gift too.

Rose Fooks said ‘A spectacular looking thing made with exquisite tasting chocolate.’

A selection box of fresh chocolate mini pouches in flavours like salted caramel, smooth dark and creamy milk, accompanied with a hand-finished milk and dark chocolate egg.

All the chocolates are made using fresh ingredients such as British organic double cream and Dorset sea salt. They last for 4-6 weeks in the fridge.

Jen Bedloe, Food Director said ‘I’ve not tried anything like these before, the quality of the ingredients really shines through in the finished product, the creaminess is unmatched’

Perfectly packaged in its designer box, with each half individually wrapped. Nestled inside you’ll find delicious cocoa-dusted salted caramel truffles, the perfect balance of salty and sweet.

Made of half 40% milk and half 70% dark this chunky egg is bursting with an assortment of cocktail-inspired truffles, like Mojito and Caramel Espresso Martini. The attractive packaging is 100% recyclable and made entirely from paper pulp.

Jess said 'This is such a fun and innovative egg. The chocolate is impressively thick and the truffles are delicious too.'

A novelty take on the classic Easter egg shape with a cute lamb detail. This fun 'sarnie' has mint milk chocolate ‘bread’ with a crispy layer of feuilletine, that adds a delicious crunch.

A stylish egg hand decorated with splashes of colour, inside the vibrant chocolate egg you will discover Sea Salt Caramel gems. Great for older children and teens.

Georgia said 'Crack this tin out next time you're having a movie night, a great combination of sweet and salty.'

A cocoa bean-shaped Belgian chocolate egg with a layer of creamy pistachio truffle and chopped roasted pistachios. This was a big hit in the test kitchen.

Rose says 'This egg is the season's hot ticket, if you can get your hands on it you must! A chunky chocolate shell and delicious nuttiness, we love it.'

For those who take their coffee seriously, this egg is made up of coffee-infused milk chocolate on the outside and blonde chocolate on the inside.

Rose said 'This egg was a real surprise - both layers of chocolate (on the outside milk and the inside blonde) are laced with finely ground coffee beans.'

Creamy milk chocolate eggs with white chocolate and a speckled candy coating. We approve of their size and will keep the chocolate fans quiet for 5 mins!

Georgia said 'The thin layer of white chocolate around these adds a delicious creaminess and the candy coating is satisfyingly crunchy, they're great for children and adults alike.'

A nostalgic recreation of a firm bakery favourite, vegan chocolate is loaded with crunchy biscuit pieces and cherry.

Vegan and free from dairy, nuts and egg, this is the perfect egg for those with allergies and dietary requirements. The creamy chocolate and tasty bar are not to be missed.

How did we test the best Easter bakery buys?

Each item we taste is entered by the supplier and is sampled in the Test Kitchen by a panel of experts from our Food Team. Using their collective experience as professional recipe developers, food stylists and writers. Each product is removed from its packaging and given a number. This process ensures the panel can judge without knowing where each product is from or how much it costs. One thing we do know is when it’s good!

The panel is led by Group food director Jen Bedloe, assisted by Food editor Jess Meyer, Deputy food editor Rose Fooks, Food writer Georgia Sparks and Food Assistant Catrina Gell. As well as overall taste, each chocolate Easter sample was assessed on its overall appeal including its texture, size, and look.
