The Independent: 13 best luxury Easter eggs that are worth splurging on

Opt for full indulgence this year with a egg-cellent sweet treat

We can totally get on board with two bank holidays and the excuse of stuffing ourselves silly on chocolate. Yes, that’s right, we’re celebrating Easter! And what better way to treat your loved ones than with one of these luxury Easter eggs.

Cocoa Loco Bakewell cherry & almond egg, 1250g

Sarah Payne set up Cocoa Loco in her kitchen back in 2005 and that handmade touch is still very much present with this egg, which has been roughly studded with almond slices and sour black cherry. However, what it lacks in super slick design it more than makes up for with its sheer size. This is a whopper – all 1250g of super smooth dark chocolate, in a thick shell that parts to reveal loose dark chocolate buttons (just like the good ol’ days). We were very impressed with the lack of plastic and minimal, recyclable packaging.

WINNER OF 'BEST ORGANIC DARK CHOCOLATE EASTER EGG'

'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.'
