If you only buy one Easter egg this year, make it ASDA’s crunchy pretzel and honeycomb-studded milk chocolate showstopper. It was an absolute hit with everyone who tried it, with testers raving about the sweet and salty combo. And not only did it come out on top – it's also the best value buy too. Result!

Score: 88/100

Granted, it’s not the cheapest, but once you get a taste of Russell & Atwell’s exquisite chocolate, there’s no going back. Each pack contains a thick egg made with complex, quality milk chocolate, along with five packets of fresh truffles, featuring salted caramel, creamy milk, cracking hazelnut, smooth dark and dirty blonde flavours. There’s truly one for everyone.

Hotel Chocolat’s Extra Thick Eggs have been reimagined for 2025. The lavishly thick-shelled eggs are piled high with truffles, pralines and caramels, and this one is created with half 40% milk chocolate and half fruity caramel-flavoured milk chocolate – a match made in heaven.

It’s presented in a new 100% recyclable shell made entirely from paper pulp, inspired by the shape of a cacao pod – beautiful!

Why choose between milk and white Cadbury chocolate when you can have both? The brand’s distinctive, nostalgic flavour was instantly recognisable for our panel, tasting exactly like Milkybar buttons on one side (albeit in an extra thick format) and classic Cadbury on the other – making this the ultimate indulgent treat for Easter.

Quality Street isn’t just for Christmas, as this egg proves. Testers loved the rich, butterscotch aromas and cocoa flavours of this egg, as well as the buttery, chewy pieces of fudge embedded in its shell.

If that wasn't enough, it also comes with a bag of fudge and caramel Quality Street chocolates hidden inside.

Melt’s stripey chocolate egg is made up of striking segments of solid chocolate and was voted “Best Design” within its category. Split across nutty hazelnut-spiked milk chocolate and popcorn-flavoured blonde chocolate, it was described as “dreamy” and “exceptional” by our panel. This is a truly beautiful gift for loved ones this Easter (it’s also great for self-gifting).

Score: 82/100

Part of the Waitrose No.1 range and new for 2025, these flat Easter eggs are every bit as delicious as their 3D counterparts. Made from truffle-like milk chocolate interlaced with crunchy feuilletine, bitter cocoa nibs and subtle salt crystals, this is a real grown-up egg to enjoy and savour.

Score: 84/100

ASDA has done the double this year. Our winning dark chocolate egg filled the kitchen with a distinctive sweet orange aroma, which also came through in the flavour. While the spicy crystalised ginger was a little more subtle, testers enjoyed the combination, and they liked the added crunch from the citrus peel in the shell.

Score: 83/100

This glossy egg is completely organic and made from 72% cocoa. It’s one for true dark chocolate fans, with an intense bitterness and complex notes of toasted nuts and coffee. And despite the shell being luxuriously thick, our testers said it melts on the tongue. Each egg also comes filled with chocolate buttons made from the same quality chocolate.

Score: 82/100

A decadent feast for dark chocolate lovers, this speckled egg is rich, dark and fruity. Testers loved the bitter profile and found the flavour powerfully long-lasting with subtle notes of raisins and berries.

Score: 82/100

A classic dark chocolate and orange combination, testers loved the bitter, earthy chocolate, which was perfectly balanced by the acidity of the orange. The candied orange peel was a nice touch, adding additional bursts of citrus.

Score: 81/100

Part of Morrisons’ premium Easter range, this egg is made with decadent Belgian dark chocolate and laced with sea salt for a subtle saline slant. The flavour was powerful and long-lasting, with a little going a long way – making this perfect for sharing.

Score: 79/100

Combining the candied vine fruit and flaked nuts of a Florentine biscuit with rich and smoky dark chocolate, Waitrose’s range of thick, flat eggs are beautifully decorated. It’s pretty sweet for dark chocolate, with nuanced notes of coffee and malt biscuit, as well as a good snap and crunchy pieces.

Score: 78/100

Thanks to its clever marbled design, testers thoroughly enjoyed the combination of creamy milk chocolate against the darker cocoa in this egg, while the biscuit and caramel that runs throughout give it a sweet, malty kick. It’s perfect for those who enjoy rich, dark chocolate, but without the bitterness.

Score: 82/100

Who could resist this blonde chocolate croissant from Waitrose? And it tastes just as good as it looks, with a beautiful caramelised sweetness and notes of toffee that complement the feuilletine-style biscuit crunch found running through the thick, creamy shell. Fun and delicious, she’s a worthy winner.
