Gourmet caramel white chocolate and salted almond egg, £64.99/540g, Venchi
Best showstopping Easter egg
Italian chocolatiers Venchi have created this blonde caramel Easter egg studded with crunchy salted Sicilian almonds. It is the perfect salty-sweet combination, rounded off with a hint of vanilla.

Dark chocolate Easter egg with rose and violet creams, £32/245g, Charbonnel et Walker
Best dark chocolate egg
A decadent dark chocolate egg with 70% cocoa solids. This Easter egg comes with sweet and fragrant rose and violet creams, all wrapped up in a whimsical spring box.

Vegan Venezuelan dark chocolate egg, £23/210g, Bettys
Best grown-up Easter egg
This is an elegant-looking and complex-tasting dark chocolate Easter egg, with notes of cherry and coffee that linger on the tongue. A well-tempered geometric shell has a satisfying snap and smooth flavour.

Chocolate Easter eggs by Bennetts of Mangawhai, £15, Allpress Espresso
Best innovative Easter eggs
Inspired by your morning coffees, these foil-wrapped Easter eggs come in a stylish egg carton. The double espresso egg is an indulgent dark chocolate spiked with espresso for a bittersweet bite. The milk chocolate variety is a great interpretation of a flat white – containing 45% cocoa, it combines velvety milk chocolate with a touch of espresso and vanilla.

Extra-thick rocky road to caramel Easter egg, £30/490g, Hotel Chocolat
Best extravagant Easter egg
The walls of this Easter egg are extra thick, consisting of crumbled cookies and puffed rice encased in sweet and smooth 40% milk chocolate. The egg comes filled with an indulgent selection of dessert-inspired pralines, caramels and chocolates.

Crispy caramel eggs, £27, Lakrids by Bülow
Best luxury alternative eggs
These eggs are the perfect alternative to a whole chocolate egg and great for grown-ups. A speckled shell conceals caramelised dulce chocolate with a sprinkle of liquorice powder. These are perfect for sharing over the Easter holidays (if you can keep your hands off them). If you're not usually a fan of liquorice don't be put off as they have been known to convert many.

Sicilian pistachio cream-filled truffles, £18/box of 12, Strazzanti
Best miniature eggs
Harvested every two years in Sicily, lightly roasted pistachios make up the sweet and nutty filling that oozes out of these crisp dark chocolate eggs.
