There’s something special about Easter eggs, and the way the chocolate just hits different. We don’t know exactly what the special secret is behind their addictive nature, but we plan on stocking up while we have the chance. While Easter is not until 21 April this year, it’s always helpful to shop in advance, to make sure you’re not disappointed when only the chocolate dregs are left.
We’re really excited that this year, as Easter eggs have had a real promotion. Supermarkets are nailing it with own brand flavours, while luxury chocolatiers and high street boutiques like Hotel Chocolat continue to impress with their quality. And, if you stock up on household favourites like Cadbury, Kinder and Mars, you can never go wrong.
If, like us, you are beating the rush, you can save yourself some cash on fantastic Easter egg deals. We’ve even done the hard work for you and compiled a list of the best offers out there. In our list, we’ve thought about all tastes and price points – classic milk, caramels, nutty chocolate, and even options fit for a family egg hunt. These deals won’t be around for long though. On your marks…
Kinder surprise giant Easter egg: Was £17, now £12.50, Tesco.com
A hit with both children and adults alike, Kinder knocks it out of the park every year with its Easter eggs. Although Kinder surprise eggs are available year-round, we’d much rather have a hefty 220g milk chocolate egg. Plus, you’ll still get a fun toy inside, making it perfect for the little ones. Using your Tesco Clubcard, you can currently get 25 per cent off.
If you prefer bite-sized chocolates to a full on Easter egg, these six piece selectors are the perfect buy. Deliciously moreish, they’re made with silky smooth, creamy caramel. With each pack containing a squad of six super cute caramel bunnies, you could gift them or keep them all for yourself – we promise we won’t tell. You can choose to mix and match your three selector packs in a deal that includes bestselling favourites and even more bunny flavours – oranges and lemons, pistachio, and vegan raspberry.
Cadbury pack of 48 creme eggs: Was £36, now £32.39, Amazon.co.uk

Ferrero Rocher golden Easter egg: £11.98, Asda.com
That instantly recognisable taste of a Ferrero Rocher has been captured and made into a delicious Easter egg. Plus, it comes paired with six individual chocolates to enjoy at a later date (or all at the same time, no judgement here). Although Asda is selling the egg for just shy of £12 without any deals or offers, it’s priced at £17.50 elsewhere – so you’ll save yourself just over 30 per cent by shopping at the supermarket.
Bettys spring flowers milk chocolate Easter egg: Was £42.25, now £37.25, Bettys.co.uk
For some, Easter calls for a little luxury following Lent, and what better way to mark that occasion than with a beautifully decorated, Swiss milk chocolate egg?

Many handmade eggs of the same luxury will set you back a lot more, but you can get this colourful Easter egg from Bettys for just £37.25 when signing up for £5 off, here.
Lindt white chocolate gold bunny: Was £4.25, now £3.48, Asda.com
