No need to go hunting – we’ve found the weirdest and wackiest Easter eggs up for grabs on the high street and locally this season. Cracking stuff!
Goupie Original Vegan Egg
Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan – we’ve found the perfect egg for our free-from friends! Kent chocolate brand, Goupie has got a scrumptious egg this Easter. Made from their original Goupie chocolate cut into smaller pieces, covered in even more chocolate and packaged in a reusable, Faberge-inspired, tin egg in a quirky Kraft box.

Harvey Nichols Eggs with Legs
It’s not often I see an Easter egg with nattier footwear than me! This hollow egg comes complete with its own hand-painted, individually decorated egg cup created by kitsch ceramic designer Mary Rose Young – but there are only 90 of each available, so snap it up quick!
£80
M&S Harry Potter Golden Egg
Got Hogwarts fans in the family? They’ll go ga-ga for this golden egg from M&S, inspired by the fourth film. Luckily these ones don’t scream when you open them – but they do contain yummy white chocolate.
£16
Rumsey’s Easter Bunny
This little guy from Thame chocolaterie Rumsey’s is almost too cute to eat (hey, I said almost). Each one is hand-painted, so they’re unique as well as delicious. Hop to it!
£22.95
Mode & Grace Floral Easter Egg
The bonkers weather might be messing with the garden, but at least this dark chocolate egg from edible flower experts Mode & Grace is in bloom! This egg is so pretty it’ll make the perfect centrepiece for your Easter table – before you scoff the whole lot, of course.
£25
Betty’s Imperial Easter Egg
Feel like you’re feeding the five thousand this Easter? Here, five kilos of chocolate should do it! Made with Grand Cru Swiss chocolate and delicately hand-piped, this whopper from Betty’s is only available from their Yorkshire shop (no surprises there – image putting this in the post). Luckily, there’s also a slightly more mangable version for sale at £32.
£295

Butler’s Cheddar Cheese Egg
Don’t have a sweet tooth? Firstly, we can’t be friends – secondly, I have just the Easter egg for you. This half-egg is made entirely out of cheddar blended with soft cheese and can easily be spread on toast as part of your Easter breakfast. There’s even a blue cheese version too.
£6
Chococo Dinosaur Egg
Dorset chocolatier Chococo pays homage to its Jurassic Coast roots with this dinosaur-studded milk chocolate masterpiece. This one is a giant 400g version, but there’s also a smaller 175g version available for half the price.

Cutter & Squidge Cookies & Cream Vegan Easter Egg
No need to miss out if you’re dairy-free – this cookie-stuffed creation is 100% vegan. It’s packed to the brim with vegan caramel and honeycomb dreambars, caramel ganache-filled eggs and crunchy Oreo cookies – I think I have a sugar rush just reading the description…
