Best luxury Easter eggs for a special chocolate treat this year

If you’re in the market for elegant sustenance, study no further than the Harrods food hall – which you can also shop from its website. This Venchi egg is the attention-grabbing egg you maintain been searching for.

With experience that dates back closely 150 years, it’s a chocolatier that knows its way around an Easter egg. Balancing smooth milk chocolate with an inner layer of crunchy hazelnuts, it’s at once a flavour and texture explosion.

Established in 2000 in Brighton, Montezuma’s is a British chocolate manufacturer that offers a wide range of appetizing cocoa themed goods.

Founded by husband and wife duo Helen and Simon Pattinson, they’ve stuck to their principles since its inception by creating products with its supply chain and the environment in mind.

A milk chocolate and butterscotch combo, this giant organic egg is ideal for those who maintain a particularly sweet tooth.

Calling all vegans! You can secure luxury plant-based chocolate, too.

Not only is the Rococo chocolate egg vegan, but each of the extra surprises inside is shaped like your favourite veggies (we’re talking carrots, spinach and sweetcorn), and is flavoured with them, too.

Your five-a-day never tasted so qualified.

For an Easter treat that would study as qualified on your mantlepiece as it would smashed in a bowl, it’s Fortnum’s handpainted design you should be adding to your basket.

Crafted exclusively for the London-based upmarket food store by master chocolatiers in Wales, it tastes just as qualified as it looks.

Praline and chocolate… brand a better duo. That’s accurate, we can’t either.

From the praline and hazelnut filled outer shell to the melt-in-the-mouth truffles, everything about Harvey Nichols’ golden egg wins the first space award in our books. It’s no wonder considering it’s handmade in Notting Hill by an award winning confectioner.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of rifling through the goodies in your own hamper – especially when it’s an Easter themed selection by none other than Selfridges.

Containing a selection of eggs, toffees and caramels, there’s no need to hunt to find your favourite confections as you’ll find them all in this wicker basket.

A fade-to for indulgent chocolate, Hotel Chocolat offers a comprehensive range from white to extra-shadowy.

With a shadowy chocolate half, one that’s milk chocolate, and an array of tipsy truffles inside, this is one for adults. The extra chunky shell will hold you going through Easter weekend and beyond.

The russian doll of the easter egg world, luxury womenswear trademark Anya Hindmarch has designed a trio of cute chocolate shells that are nestled inside one another – all of which are adorned with the brand’s signature eyes.

Our preference is the milk, but if that’s a touch too sweet for you, you can try the intense shadowy chocolate instead.

For an egg that even the royal family would be fond of, it’s Charbonnel et Walker that should be on your list.

The royal warrant holders maintain this decadent egg in its line-up. Within a beautifully decorated box beneath a layer of straw, you’ll find a milk chocolate egg alongside a tray of the brand’s delectable truffles. What more could you want?

No Easter egg round up is complete without a white chocolate option – and this Butlers iteration fits the bill nicely.

Once you unwrap the crinkly packaging, you’ll discover a super smooth egg that’s full to the brim with individually wrapped eggs inside.

A brand founded by James Cadbury – yes, that’s accurate, the the worthy-worthy-worthy grandson of the original Mr Cadbury himself – fancy Cocoa most definitely delivers on the confectionery front.

Unlike his ancestor’s mass produced chocolate, fancy Cocoa is a small luxury brand that boasts many eco-friendly credentials – it’s palm oil free, sustainably sourced and every purchase plants a tree in East Kenya.

Our favourite egg is the salted caramel, which is marbled with white chocolate for a palatial finish – and, as an extra treat, it’s paired with the brand’s best-selling truffles, too.

For those of you who like a touch of savoury with their sugar confectionery, Prestat’s shadowy option is infused with sea salt caramel for the perfect balance of flavours.

From the 62 per cent cocoa shell to the 73 per cent truffles that are filled with a sweet and salty caramel filling, it’s bitter, sweet and salty all at once.

The easter egg of fairytales, you’d expect nothing less from luxury hotel, Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel. With a buterfly seemingly suspended between the edges of the chocolate shell, which is filled with a red quinoa praline and coated with organic caramelized puffed white quinoa – this is not just an egg, this is a Rosewood Hotels egg.

This year, Chelsea-based Birley Bakery has created a trio of artisan eggs.

There’s a golden egg that’s made using 80 per cent shadowy chocolate with candy-coated almonds on the inside and edible gold leaf on the outer shell (£100), a milk chocolate egg with a cutout Easter Bunny (£60), and the Sunny Bunny, which is a smaller 60 per cent shadowy chocolate option egg alongside a chocolate bunny figure (£40) – and all of them sit atop one of the bakery’s signature chocolate bars.

Head to 28-30 Cale Street in SW3 to see for yourself.

For an entirely unique Easter Egg, it’s worthy Scotland Yard Hotel in Embankment that should be on your list.

With a selection of hand decorated designs, no egg will be exactly the same – but they all retail at £35 and are crafted using 55 per cent shadowy chocolate from Valrhona. Even better, there’s an unknown surprise in each one, whether it’s mini eggs or fudge.

The only catch – you need to buy them in person from the lobby or The Parlour of the hotel.
