With Easter just around the corner, the supermarket shelves are starting to fill up with eggs, sweets and confectionery for the spring holiday.
Chocolate fans will be overjoyed with the offerings, but for more experimental foodies, maybe the classic plain chocolate egg that we’ve had a thousand times before just won’t cut it.
If so, then fret not because there is an abundance of deliciously quirky Easter chocolates with unexpected flavour combinations available to challenge your taste buds this year.
From an English breakfast-themed treat to a marmalade toast-flavoured chocolate snack, and even eggs with pub favourites like Guinness and salty crisps, there is something for the more adventurous to try.
Chocoholics are sure to love Cocoba’s giant egg, which weighs in at a whopping 4kg and costs almost £130.
Some chocolate brands have taken to creating some unorthodox flavours in the form of Lakrids’ lime and liquorice egg or Cox & Co’s chilli and cherry variety.
We’ve been on the hunt for some of this year’s most unique Easter buys to snap up to gift your foodie friend or enjoy all for yourself.
Hotel Chocolat Marmalade on Toast Easter Sandwich
What looks like a supermarket meal deal sandwich at first glance, with its familiar triangular packaging, is actually Hotel Chocolat’s unique Easter treat.
The Toast & Marmalade Easter Sandwich is perfect if you want a sweet twist on your Easter breakfast.
It was made by 3D scanning two real slices of wholemeal bread to create a realistic mould.
Between each slice is smooth milk chocolate with sprinkles of feuilletine wafers and some Guérande sea salt to not only bring out the cocoa flavours but also give it a familiar toast-like tinge.
Each slice has a half a caramel egg filled with Valencian orange oil and decorated with a swirl of orange éclat.
Hotel Chocolat has a range of Easter sandwiches available, including the Lamb and Mint, Caramayo, Cookie Dough and Ice Cream as well as the Chocolate Spread varieties.
Torres The Crisp Milk Chocolate
Luxury crisp brand Torres has gone against the grain and launched The Crisp Milk Chocolate with Mediterranean Salt Chips Easter Egg at Selfridges.
Middle-class favourite Torres, which hails from Barcelona, Spain, is known for its £4.95 artisanal crisps in flavours including black summer truffle, Iberian ham and cured cheese.
For Easter, the brand has released an Easter egg that, from the outside, appears like a typical one, but the chocolate actually features a salted crisp filling.
Selfridges is struggling to keep up with demand as shoppers snap up the salty-chocolatey treat, but it is frequently restocking, so no one will miss out this Easter.
Lakrids by Bülow AEGG Lime Crackle Chocolate Coated Liquorice Easter Egg
Liquorice is already a divisive taste, but combine it with lime and you might have even more people opting out of trying this unusual Easter treat.
However, that just means those liquorice and lime fans might not have to share their Easter sweets.
Danish liquorice brand Lakrids has made its crunchy green mini eggs by pairing lemon and lime with white chocolate and soft liquorice.
The result is said to be a ‘harmonious blend of tangy, sweet and salty flavours’ with a hard sugar exterior coating a chocolate liquorice centre.
Chocolarder Wild Gorse Flower Easter Egg
The team at Chocolader have made its gorse flower chocolate bar into an egg for Easter.
The edible gorse flower has a surprising coconut-like taste and is typically used in salads, teas, wine or pickling.
Handpicked gorse flowers from Cornwall are infused with milk chocolate to create a ‘one-of-a-kind flavour’.
Plus, the packaging is plastic-free, and the egg only contains four ingredients: cocoa beans, unrefined sugar, milk powder and gorse flowers.
Guinness Dark Chocolate Rugby Ball
Beer and chocolate aren’t typically paired together, but even the biggest stout lover (and sports fan) will feel included in the Easter fun with Guinness’s egg.
For a richer and deeper flavour profile, Guinness has made a dark chocolate Easter egg in the shape of a rugby ball infused with the brand’s signature stout.
It also comes with a handful of delicious dark chocolate truffles with a creamy Guinness beer-flavoured centre.
Choceur Biscuit Egg Jammy Wheel
Aldi is giving fans of one of Britain’s most beloved biscuits a special offering inspired by the jammy treat.
The biscuit-shaped snack is made of white chocolate with biscuit pieces and layers of raspberry.
This tasty treat has been available since late January and is already delighting fans who say it was ‘divine’ and ‘egg-stra’.
‘The chocolate is a bit like a Caramac chocolate, nice and thick, bit of a biscuit crunch, and the jam flavouring is a lovely addition. Highly recommend it,’ one woman said on Instagram.
Cocoba Giant Milk Chocolate Easter Egg
Weighing 4kg and standing at 51cm, this enormous egg could feed the whole family throughout the Easter long weekend.
It is Cocoba’s biggest ever Easter egg, made from its decadent milk chocolate and hand-decorated with milk, dark and white chocolate drizzles.
Almost as eye-watering as the size is its price, costing a whopping £159.95; however, Cocoba is offering 20 per cent off, so you can now order it for £127.96.
Choc on Choc All Day Breakfast
Easter is the one time of year that it’s perfectly acceptable to indulge in chocolate for breakfast – and this Choc on Choc treat looks the part.
Don’t worry, this creation is thankfully not bacon, egg and bean flavoured, but the novelty mould is impressively realistic.
The toast, fried eggs, mushrooms, baked beans and bacon are made from white and dark chocolate and sit on top of a creamy Belgian chocolate plate.
Cox & Co Miso and Caramel Easter Egg
Not many have thought about pairing miso with chocolate, but the team at Cox & Co have attempted the blend.
The brand’s Miso & Caramel hollow egg, also available in multipacks and bars, is made from certified ‘Fino De Aroma’ cocoa, meaning it is in the top 8 per cent of all chocolate produced in the world for quality and flavour.
It’s then blended with creamy oat milk and flavoured with white miso powder and natural butter caramel.
And it’s not the only unusual flavour the brand has come up with this Easter.
Chilli isn’t a completely unheard of addition to chocolate (Lindt’s chilli dark chocolate has been on supermarket shelves for years), but this Cox & Co creation combines the concept with cherries, adding an extra layer of sweetness.
Not for the faint-hearted, the egg is sprinkled with Aleppo chillis to give the chocolate a fiery hit. It’s also vegan, so even the dairy-free can enjoy the unique flavour profile.
