If aesthetics matter, then these Schoc arty eggs definitely look the part. Question is, can you bear to crack that pretty exterior? Answer: yes.
The chocolate connoisseur should make a beeline for the House of Chocolate range, especially this ruby pistachio beauty, which is crusted with finely chopped pistachio and filled with creamy white chocolate, cherry and pistachio dragees within.
The creamy, velvety texture of Lindt chocolate is pretty hard to top and with this gift pack you’ll get a delectably smooth chocolate milk egg plus a selection of Lindt assorted balls – in milk, white or dark chocolate.
Where would be without good old Kiwi brand Queen Anne, which has been operating since 1925. These iconic “half eggs” are filled with natural raspberry marshmallow, richly coated in dark chocolate.
Nobody need miss out on the chocolate fun with this dairy-free, nut-free, gluten-free and egg-free egg. We’re keen to tuck into the delicious caramel and sea salt flavour option.
Pucker up for this super sour treat – an egg that will “blow your mind”, filled as it is with TNT Sour Chews. Or is this one for the Easter grinch in your life?
Get your caffeine fix as you indulge in a chocolate and coffee mash-up, with each six-pack of the Allpress Easter Eggs by Bennetts of Mangawhai containing three double espresso and three flat white eggs. Does that mean we get one for breakfast?
If you know anyone with an aversion to egg shapes, or anyone crazy for hot cross bun flavours, then this could be the choice for them. Delicious Whittaker’s chocolate flavoured with spices, raisins and orange oil.
While chocolate will likely always be the main attraction of Easter for the little’uns, these eggs come with a little extra, in the form of a Peppa Pig themed breakfast set and a SpongeBob mug to keep the fun times going long after the egg is gone.
There’s no shortage of fun themed eggs to be had, from bubble gum surprises, cookie treats and the classic favourite of creme eggs – these choices all come with tasty extras and would suit anyone with a playful side.
