Easter Egg Eggtravaganza...

Sunday 20th March 2014 is Easter Sunday. Which left me thinking what can a foodie blog about... Simple really, CHOCOLATE EASTER EGGS!! Everyone has a favourite whether it be Mars Bar, Milky Bar, Cadburys Chocolate Buttons or any of the regular eggs found in your local supermarket.

My mission: Find eggs you won't find on down the Easter egg aisle. Whether its for a loved one, a friend or just for yourself; I aim to help you find the best!

Lets begin my Easter egg hunt with...

Hotel Chocolat

With an eggcellent range of eggs and gifts Hotel Chocolat have thought of everything. With eggs and gifts to fit every price range. I struggled to pick my favourite amongst Hotel Chocolat's Easter selection. After tough deliberation my recommendations are:

1. "The Half & Half Ostrich Egg"

For £75.00 why not indulge in this beauty. This enormous egg is half milk and half dark chocolate. It comes with a collection of 29 milk and dark chocolates and also has 6 foil wrapped egglets hidden in the box. If this is not a chocolate lovers heaven I will eat my Easter bonnet.

2. "Egg on Toast Lick"

This quirky Easter lolly is perfect as a little gift or a treat. It's milk chocolate decorated with a white chocolate egg and looks delightful. Get this beauty for just £2.00

3. "Easter Pick Me Up"

A fantastic selection of Hotel Chocolat's seasonal specialties. Containing 6 of their Praline Bow Tie Bunnies, 6 Salted Caramel Egglets and 4 Raspberry Zinger Egglets. All these fabulous mini treats for £13.00

4. "The Splat - Dark Chocolate Easter Egg"

It's not your typical looking Easter egg but this beauty is a mixture of dark chocolate and a colourful white chocolate splat. Buy this egg for just £12.50

It's no yolk that this amazing and unique website sells more than just edible Easter gifts! It is a brilliant website with a vast selection of individual and personalised gifts. My favourite edible gifts are:

1. "Personalised Chocolate Easter Eggs by Cocoapod Chocolates"

Why not make Easter special with this gorgeous egg with 12 solid chocolate blocks that can be personalised to whatever your heart desires. You can even pick the colour of the foil and ribbon. This egg comes in at £19.90 plus delivery.

2. "Fudge Kitchen Easter Hamper"

This alternative Easter gift will set you back £40.00 but it just simply outstanding. This hamper will suit the tastes of any food connoisseur. Containing peanut butter chocolate, vintage fudge chocolate, chocolate indulgence gourmet miniatures, chocolate caramel fudge sauce and cookietastic Easter cookie jar.

Bettys

Have a look at this eggtraordinary Easter egg from Bettys, established in 1919. Bettys is a family run business which began with a young orphan who traveled from Switzerland to England to make his name.

1. "Dark Chocolate Yorkshire White Rose Easter Egg"

This stunning handmade Swiss Grand Cru Easter egg is beautifully decorated and would make a perfect present. This egg is priced at £26.50

2. "Easter Egg Hunt Bag"

What a beautiful gift for for any expectant Easter egg hunter. The bag is full of a selection of praline and milk chocolate eggs made in Belgium and a Swiss milk chocolate egg. Priced at £11.50 I think this Easter egg hunt bag is great value for money.
