Chocolate eggs that made it into this Food Editor’s Easter basket – including a viral Dubai choc one!
KIDS have long been spoiled when it comes to Easter treats, so it's fantastic to see so many eggs aimed at adults this year.
We want value for money, a bit of luxe and ultimately a whole heap of chocolate that can see us through more than one episode of Married At First Sight Australia.
We've rounded up some of our faves this year, from a £4 supermarket-shop add-on that will satisfy your cravings, to a more expensive viral TikTok treat (and yes, it features pistachios).
You'll also spot that we've picked out an eco-friendly alternative direct from those stylish Swedes - it's super-pretty and you'll use it year after year.
There might even be a couple you're happy to share - we love the letterbox-friendly Easter chocolate, and there's something special for fans of dark chocolate.
So, what does this Food Editor rate - and which ones will you be adding to your (Easter) basket?
