Easter is one of the sweetest times of the year, quite literally. Supermarket shelves are stacked high with colourful foil, chocolate promises, and eggs of every size imaginable. But with so many choices, which Easter eggs are actually worth cracking open?
For our 2026 taste test, the Health & Wellbeing team put some of this year’s most popular Easter eggs to the test. From classic milk chocolate favourites to slightly more indulgent options, we sampled, compared, and debated every bite. Our mission? To find the eggs that deliver the best flavour, texture, and overall Easter joy.
So, grab a cup of tea, unwrap some chocolate, and join us as we reveal the Easter eggs that truly impressed us this year.
Cocoba Giant Eggstraordinaire Easter Egg
If you want a true wow moment, the Cocoba Giant Eggstraordinaire delivers. At 2kg, it’s impressive just for its size, but the flavour is what really steals the show. The chocolate is luxuriously creamy, while chunks of buttery shortbread and toffee pieces give it a wonderful crunch and dessert‑like richness.
Every bite has a balance of sweet and caramelised notes, making it feel indulgent without being cloying. The decorative finish and artisan look make this egg as much a feast for the eyes as for the taste buds, creating a real sense of occasion when you break it open.
This is an egg to share around a table, or to keep as a centrepiece before it inevitably disappears bite by bite. It’s playful yet luxurious, delivering a multi-sensory Easter experience.
Best for: Big celebrations and anyone who wants a chocolate egg that wows in size and flavour

Laithwaites Red Wine & Hotel Chocolat Easter Egg Gift Set
This one definitely turned a few heads when it arrived in the office. A full Easter egg paired with a bottle of red wine? It instantly felt like Easter had gone a bit more grown-up, and we were very much on board.
The chocolate egg itself feels indulgent from the start. It’s thick, rich, and has that satisfying snap when you break into it. Flavour-wise, it leans into a deeper, slightly caramelised sweetness rather than being overly sugary, which made it a hit with the team. Inside, there’s a mix of chocolates that kept things interesting – no two bites felt quite the same, and it encouraged a bit of sharing (although not everyone was keen to give theirs up!).
Then there’s the wine. The Black Stump Durif Shiraz is bold and full-bodied, with dark fruit notes and a touch of spice. Trying the two together was where this really came into its own; the wine cuts through the richness of the chocolate and somehow makes the whole thing feel even more indulgent.
This isn’t your typical Easter egg; it’s more of an experience. One we’d happily revisit after hours rather than at our desks.

Cutter & Squidge Tiramisu Easter Egg
The Tiramisu Easter Egg is a grown‑up treat with serious weight and flavour. Inspired by the classic Italian dessert, it carries notes of coffee, cocoa, and creamy sweetness throughout. The shell is rich and dense, giving the egg substance and a satisfying bite, while the interior delivers layers of flavour reminiscent of tiramisu itself.
It’s indulgent and decadent without being overpowering, perfect for a slow, savoury chocolate experience. This egg isn’t for casual snacking; it demands attention and a quiet moment to fully enjoy. Its richness makes it ideal as a gift or as a special treat for yourself, especially if you love coffee‑inspired desserts.
Best for: Adults who love complex, dessert-inspired chocolate treats

Flapjackery Milk Chocolate & Raspberry Millionaire’s Flapjack Easter Egg
This Easter egg offers something a little different while still keeping the classic chocolate egg at its core. Inside, you’ll find the half chocolate egg is packed with chunks of millionaire’s flapjack, which is where things get really interesting.
The chocolate shell itself is smooth and sweet, providing that familiar Easter egg experience. But it’s the filling that sets this one apart. The flapjack pieces are rich and chewy, layered with a buttery oat base, a soft caramel-style centre, and a hint of raspberry running through them. That slight fruitiness cuts through the sweetness nicely, stopping it from feeling too heavy.
The contrast between the solid chocolate shell and the chunky, textured filling makes each bite a bit different. You get the snap of the chocolate followed by the softer, more indulgent flapjack, which turns it into more of a dessert-style treat than a simple Easter egg.
It’s definitely on the richer side, so it’s one to dip into over time rather than eat all at once, but that just adds to the enjoyment.
Best for: Those who enjoy Easter eggs with a hidden, indulgent twist inside

Baileys Popcorn Easter Egg
If you’re looking for an Easter egg that feels a little more grown-up this year, the Baileys Popcorn Easter Egg certainly brings something different to the table. Combining creamy chocolate with the unmistakable flavour of Baileys, this egg leans firmly into indulgence rather than traditional simplicity.
At first glance, the egg itself is beautifully presented, wrapped in elegant packaging that already hints at the rich experience inside. The chocolate shell is smooth and creamy, with a sweetness that balances nicely against the subtle hint of Baileys flavour running through it. It’s not overpowering, but you definitely get that familiar creamy, slightly caramelised taste that fans of the liqueur will recognise.
What really sets this egg apart, though, is the popcorn element. The accompanying popcorn pieces add a fun twist, bringing a light crunch and a sweet-salty contrast that works surprisingly well with the chocolate. It gives the whole experience a bit more texture and makes it feel less like a standard Easter egg.
Overall, this is a treat that feels designed for adults rather than kids. It’s indulgent, a little bit different, and perfect if you’re after something beyond the usual milk chocolate egg.

Inside, the flavours continue with a selection of artisanal dark chocolate pieces, each crafted to maintain that luxurious richness.

Bryn the Dragon Easter Egg
This is an Easter egg that leans into fun and creativity as much as it does chocolate. The Bryn the Dragon Easter Egg feels a little different from the moment you pick it up, with a design that hints there’s more going on inside than your standard hollow shell.
Breaking into it is where it really comes to life. Hidden within is a detailed chocolate dragon, adding a playful, almost theatrical element that makes the whole experience feel more interactive than usual. It’s the kind of egg that invites you to slow down and enjoy the process, rather than simply unwrap and eat.

Overall, it strikes a nice balance between quality chocolate and something a bit more imaginative.
