What: We love Chococo’s handmade chocolates, and the Dorset chocolatiers really outdo themselves at Easter with a huge range of great eggs. This milk chocolate number is made from their signature 47% Colombian milk chocolate, and 5% of every sale goes towards the Ocean Giants conservation programme. What: A dark chocolate lover's dream, this seriously decadent egg is made from 70% cocoa, and comes filled with high-cacao pralines, caramels, simple truffles and plenty of other chocolatey treats.

As all the contents are made from either recycled board or home compostable film, this is certainly one treat you can give to the kids with a clear conscience. What: Can’t choose between milk chocolate and dark chocolate? Choose both with Chococo’s giant half and half treat, which weighs in at a solid half kilo of handcrafted chocolate heaven, including handmade chocolates inside. Master chocolatiers MELT, who handmake their products in London’s Notting Hill, have three luxury vegan Easter eggs to choose from this year, including the new almond milk egg. The chocolate contains just four ingredients – cacao solids, coconut sugar, creamed coconut and vanilla pods – but those ingredients combine to create a really interesting flavour combo.When making a chocolate based cheesecake, I melt the chocolate and leave to cool. Then, I mix my cream cheese, icing sugar and flavours (like vanilla, if using), together, and then pour in the melted and cooled chocolate. I tend to find mixing the chocolate in before the cream helps prevent seizing chocolate. I think they’d work particularly well as an alternative Easter egg hunt, as the little boxes are the perfect size for hiding in small places. Cookie dough is one of my favourite flavours and the adorable NOMO bunny included in this egg really delivers on this. It was hard to believe that it was gluten-free, it gave such a rich, biscuity flavour!

I didn’t add chopped mini eggs to the recipe like I do in my Mini Egg cheesecake because I found the recipe already had enough chocolate orange flavour – but you can add them if you wish! I do find the orange colour from the shells does leak badly though after some time.

Gather together a few hungry mates to polish it off.

So the farmers get a share of the profits they help to create, and you get a great tasting egg.There are 5 decadent truffle flavours available: Hazelnut Crunch, Fine De Champagne, Chocolate Orange, Honeycomb Caramel, and Chocolate Salted Caramel (this is the flavour that we tried). These are all individually wrapped in foil and have a slightly different flavour to the chocolate in the egg. The chocolate is slightly darker in colour, and the flavour is a little more fruity, with hints of dark cherry, which gives a really nice contrast to the egg itself. To begin with I wondered if they were hiding inside the hen, but they’re actually incorporated into the chocolate shell to give a really interesting texture.

H!P’s oat milk-based milk chocolate contains 41% cocoa so is richly flavoured and superbly smooth. The egg itself is generously studded throughout with pieces of pretzel that give it a wonderful crunchy texture.
