Easter eggs for your special occasion
Our primary focus is catering. But with Easter quickly approaching and egg shopping taking place, we would love to fill you in on our favourite chocolate treats available this year. Yes, it may not be something we usually provide on our menus (although we have catered an Easter-themed party or two), but Easter eggs can be a great addition to your Easter event.
There are, of course, many chocolatiers out there who can help create delicious bespoke chocolate treats for your special day. But we’ve focused on what fabulous off-the-shelf alternatives there are out there.
So, if you’re having an Easter-themed wedding or party and are looking for something a little different for a wedding favour or party gift bag treat, this go-to guide is judgement free and suits all ages. After all, everyone loves an Easter egg, and these treats will always go down well.
Thorntons personalised Easter eggs
These personalised eggs are a fabulous way to give your guests a treat and can also double as place names. Thorntons are renowned for their chocolate and have a range to suit many budgets. There is something for all ages, from a classic egg to an Easter Bunny, available with hand-applied icing personalisation.
Hotel Chocolat Extra Thick’ You Crack Me Up’ egg.
The Hotel Chocolat Extra Thick ‘You Crack Me Up’ egg is perfect if you’re looking for a more quirky egg. We love everything about this egg. Most obviously, the funky, comical design, but most of all, because it’s hilarious. This egg is perfect for a child but also excellent for men who love a good-old dad joke. Perfect for the father of the bride or the groom himself.
Not only does this egg look great, but the egg is filled to the brim with chocolatey goodies, which is what you’d expect from the team at Hotel Chocolat. It does, however, come in at a pricey £30, but we think it is totally worth it if you’re looking for a decadent Easter splurge for your special occasion.
M&S Percy Pig and Collin the Caterpillar Giant Chocolate face
M&S have pulled it out of the bag again this year with a chocolate creation of the nation’s favourite characters. The giant Percy Pig and Collin the Caterpillar-shaped chocolates are great for kids, but what adult wouldn’t want to open these quirky eggs not only on Easter Sunday but at your event too? At an inexpensive £6 each, why not delve in and buy both for the bridesmaids, as no special celebration would be complete without these two British staples?
Nomo Cookie Dough egg
This one-of-a-kind egg is not only delicious, but it’s suitable for your vegan guests as well as being gluten-free. It’s budget-friendly too! Unlike other vegan Easter eggs on the supermarket shelves, this one is unique and has a load of flavour. With a crunchy cookie dough encasing, it prices up at only £6. So, we think it’s exceptionally great value for money and certainly does not disappoint.
The Dairy Milk Chocolate Chunky Egg
You really can’t go wrong with a classic Dairy Milk egg. Its thick, smooth shell feels upmarket compared to the typical supermarket standard. And, as it oozes the Cadbury excellence you expect, whoever you are planning to buy for this Easter, we think this egg is ideal for anyone who loves straight-talking milk chocolate. And, of course, it’s at a fraction of a chocolatier price, coming in at £10/12 on most supermarket shelves.
Cutter and Squidge Billionaire filled Easter eggs
If you want to indulge a little more for your Easter event, this egg is definitely worth the purchase. The smooth milk chocolate vermicelli egg is topped with caramel ganache-filled mini eggs and stuffed to the brim with their award-winning salted caramel and honeycomb digestive crumb chocolate dream bar. Mmmmmmmm. This top-tier egg is made with 100% sustainable all-natural ingredients, which makes a lot of difference to its taste. For £22.99, it may seem rather expensive, but sometimes that little bit of luxury is needed for a special occasion.
And, to anyone who managed to stay strong and give up their little bit of heaven this Lent, we salute you. We hope you have an indulgent Easter crammed with lots of chocolate and goodies.
