Over recent weeks, I have had the very arduous task of having to try out lots of chocolate and Easter Eggs in the name of research on behalf of you - my lovely readers.
*sigh*
The things I do for you, hey?!!!
Joking aside - I have basically been up to my eyeballs in chocolate and love every single calorie-laden second of it!!
After my "research" I am pleased to be able to provide you with a Tried & Tested guide to the absolute best of what's on the market Egg-Wise this Easter!
Thorntons
The Harry Hopalot egg from Thorntons is without a doubt the cutest looking white chocolate egg I have seen on the shelves this year.I wanted to give Tyne a white chocolate egg this year as he seems to prefer it at the moment - I love the cute bunny on the front, and the packaging is also super sweet and will make a lovely addition to any Easter Basket.
The white chocolate was delicious - not overly sweet and sickly as I find white chocolate often can be. I will certainly be buying one of these for Tyne's Easter Basket!
OMG - this egg is, quite possibly, the most decadent and divine easter egg I have EVER tried.
Not only is a very chunky, luxurious dark chocolate egg - but it has actual crumbly brownie biscuit pieces in it and delicious crisp walnuts.
It is not for the faint hearted - a REAL chocolate indulgence - but absolutely to die for, one to really savour every last mouthful of.

If you're looking for something a bit different for someone special, this is an excellent choice.
The chocolate egg itself is lovely, but the chocolate flutes are what really make it stand out - the orange flutes are delicious, no complaints there at all - but the amaretto flutes are the real selling point for me!
Such a lovely little treat for the grown ups this Easter!
Guylian
A relative of mine is a HUGE lover of Guylian's chocolate sea shells so I always make sure I buy them for him every Easter - the chocolate sea shells are a lovely gift on their own of course, but the presentation of Guylian's Easter Eggs which include a box of the sea shells is just lovely and really makes it worth spending that little bit extra.
Lindt
Oh my goodness - where to start with Lindt?!
You know you can always rely on Lindt to provide melt in the mouth, creamy delicious milk chocolate but it's more than the chocolate itself that impresses me where Lindt are concerned - it's the presentation and the ideas they come up with.
The Gold Bunny has become so associated with Easter and rightly so, it's just perfect - every detail so well thought out right down to its little ribbon and bell!
I love the mini gold bunny selections which are just perfect for childrens Easter baskets, as are the mini eggs and the bunny paws - I think my favorite thing in their range this year though are the little chocolate carrots! Adorable!!
And if you're feeling extra generous you could treat your loved one to a full sized Lindor egg this year - I know that one of these would be my own personal choice for Easter!
And finally, if you're looking for less of a full on extravagant easter egg and want more of a little treat instead - the Dairy Milk Egg n Spoon's are a great option and are bound to be a hit with the kids!I love the novelty factor of the real egg carton!
So there we have it - I hope you find some Easter Egg-spiration from this post!
All eggs are available from all major retailers, nationwide.
