House of Chocolates Painted Chocolate Eggs and Bunnies
These chocolates are like works of art: giant eggs hand-painted in stylish colours and little bunnies finished with a shimmer and filled with salted caramel. You can even order a personalised chocolate egg with the lucky recipient's name on it, although this will make it even more difficult to crack into.

Ima Cuisine Giant Hot Cross Buns
Yael Shochat, the chef at Ima Cuisine, makes her giant, luscious hot-cross buns year after year and they're so delicious slathered with butter. To top things off, rather than being crisp and dry, the crosses are soft and custard-like... It's so hard to stop at just one.

Moustache Creme Egg Cookies
Oh Moustache, you've done it again. They've popped a creme egg inside their deliciously chewy cookies, which is a perfect combination if you ask us. These are limited edition so be in quick.

Little Bird Organics Caramel Nests
These little raw treats are Little Bird Organics' take on a creme egg: raw caramel is surrounded by a coconut and date base, while a mini easter egg perches on top. These are still decadent, but also one of the most wholesome treats you're likely to find this Easter.
• Order for pick-up from March 26-29 from Littlebirdorganics.co.nz
