Ranges of Easter Eggs

The choices we make each day just get harder and harder, because we end up being offered so many varieties to choose from.

It’s no different with Easter Eggs, this year we seem to be inundated with so many types to choose from. What happened to the days where it was either milk or dark?

No matter, more choice is better than no choice at all, and we really seem to be spoilt for choice with the treats that are lined up in stores for us this Easter time. From white, milk and dark chocolate, to Fairtrade, organic, lactose-free. Chocolate flavoured with coconut, berries, fruit and nut, early grey, bergamot and cognac and not to mention all the hand-made, luxurious and downright expensive ones!

Better get your skates on, as Easter falls earlier than usual – mark it on your calendar, Sunday March 23rd 2008.

Cheap and Cheerful Eggs

The high street shops have a colourful range of all our usual chocolate treats. Old favourites such as creme eggs, buttons and milky bar are still going strong. You can purchase these foil wrapped eggs in a variety of sizes from shops such as Cadburys, Thorntons, Marks and Spencer and any supermarket chain e.g. Sainsbury’s. Thorntons even do a personalised icing service where you can get your message iced onto one of their eggs and are still one of the few companies to produce a diabetic easter egg. Expect to may anything from £1 to £10.

Posher Easter Eggs

Slightly more upmarket and you get the chocolate Easter Eggs that may cost a little more, but that is usually because they are better quality, or are not mass produced. Getting your Easter Egg from an independent shop will mean you get something a bit more unique that your bog standard flake egg. It may have nicer packaging, a better quality of chocolate may have been used, or it may be organic, fairtrade or suitable for vegans. Online shops such as UK Organics, Ethical Superstore, Chococo and Hotel Chocolat. Expect to pay anything from £5 to £20.

Luxury Chocolate Eggs

You are one lucky person if you receive anything from this range. Perfect for those with a taste for ’real chocolate’, and not the synthetic chocolate many people have grown accustomed to. This is proper chocolate, the way it was supposed to be made with 70% cocoa, elegant packaging and maybe even a mixture of flavours. How about buying something from the chocolate emporium, Prestat, chocolate purveyors to the Queen who do a delicious white chocolate and banoffee egg, Charbonnel et Walker and Melt Chocolates.

Prices will range from £15 and upwards. Some limited edition solid eggs are being sold in excess of £500!
