Easter is almost upon us, and if you know or have children that means one thing: chocolate eggs.
There are variations of every description, from big names like Kinder (the daddy of chocolate eggs) to heavyweights from the Nestle family; think Aero, Kit Kat, Milky Bar and Smarties. Then there are the licenced collabs with much-loved characters like Peppa Pig, Gruffalo and various Disney characters.
With so many to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, which is why we’ve gone hunting for you and placed the best all in one digital basket below.
Ranging in price from budget to blowout, any of these options will delight your little ones - and quite a few grown ups too.
