Rocky Road to Caramel Extra Thick Egg (500g), £27, Hotel Chocolat A hefty price tag but worth it. Understated, classy packaging hides surprises and a mass of flavours. Delicious, chunky chocolate egg shell that’s caramel flavoured on one side and packed with cookies and puffed rice on the other. Loved the caramel-filled bunnies. More please! How all Easter eggs should look and taste Belgian Milk & Dark Chocolate Egg (560g), £20, Marks & Spencer Shimmering gold number with good quality milk and dark chocolate. It took a bit of a thump to break into but was worth the effort. The chocolate balls around the base were a moreish, finishing touch with a wellbalanced runny caramel filling. Very posh The Best Belgian Milk Chocolate Egg with Marc de Champagne Truffles (380g), £10, Morrisons Looks the part with its fab, highshine gold egg resting above a swanky box of truffles. But the gold came off in our hands and left them sticky, and the chocolate egg lacked flavour. We smelt the truffles before we’d even lifted the lid. Far too over-powering and boozy for us. Disappointing Irresistible Single Origin Milk Chocolate Cocoa Pod with Truffles (300g), £7, The Co-op A gold lustre cocoa pod looked like something from a sci-fi film. Silky to the touch it glowed from gold to red depending on how the light hit it. We waited to see if an alien would hatch but gave up and devoured the thick, dreamy velvety chocolate. Mmm... Out of this world Specially Selected Exquisite Up, Up and Away for Easter Hot Air Balloon (320g), £12.99, Aldi (in stores from March 22) Eye-catching purple and gold chocolate hot air balloon with eggs in a chocolate basket. The chocolate was top notch but the texture of the purple colouring seemed rough. Loved the wine and gin-flavoured eggs. Eggs-travagent design for a bargain price Finest Gin and Elderflower Egg (360g), £10, Tesco A half dark-half milk chocolate egg with the milk side scored and dusted with silver. But the pungent elderflower in the egg walls was overpowering and bitter. The silver dusted truffles were tasty but it was all a bit too grown-up for us. Left us feeling shell-shocked
