Best milk chocolate egg
Winner: Sainsbury’s Belgian Honeycomb Corn Crunch Giant Easter Egg
Judges loved the unique flavour of this luxurious egg. Aiming to recreate the flavour of a nostalgic cornflake cake, this has a moreish balance of sweet-salty flavour. The chocolate is studded with nuggets of honeycomb and crunchy roasted corn.

Runner up: Morrisons The Best Belgian Milk & Blonde Chocolate with Caramel, Pretzel & Honeycomb Easter Egg
Some judges found this egg slightly too sweet, but if you have a sweet tooth you will enjoy! There is a generous amount of pretzel and honeycomb pieces to add crunch to the sweet milk chocolate.

Morrisons (£5)
Best dark chocolate egg
Winner: Morrisons The Best Dark Chocolate Himalayan Sea Salt Easter Egg
A good dark chocolate for an Easter egg, this has a really smooth texture, subtle balanced bitterness and hint of salt.
Available from:
Morrisons (£5)
Runner up: Aldi Specially Selected Dark Ripple Egg with Rich Coffee
A distinctly grown-up egg, this egg has thin chocolate for a delicate result. The addition of coffee adds a level of bitterness that won’t be for everybody but is enjoyable if you don’t like overly sweet chocolate.
Available from:
Aldi (£4.99)
Best white chocolate egg
Winner: Waitrose The Cracking Pistachio
Judges loved the unique design of this egg, shaped to look like a giant pistachio nut. The winning element is the ultra creamy blonde chocolate ‘shell’ which was incredibly moreish – but it is worth noting that the green pistachio inner has quite a weak pistachio flavour despite the vibrant colour.
Available from:
Waitrose (£14)
For children or those with a sweet tooth, this has generous quantities of fluffy marshmallows and tangy freeze-dried raspberries.

Asda (£8)
Runner up: Morrisons The Best Belgian White & Blonde Chocolate Easter Egg
White and blonde chocolate combine in this gently swirled Easter egg – the blonde chocolate adds a touch of rich, caramelised flavour and fine biscuit pieces add little bits of crunch.
Available from:
Morrisons (£5)
Best vegan egg
This chocolate has a good thickness, studded with crunchy biscuit pieces and fluffy marshmallows to add interest. The chocolate is sweet and has a simple ridged design on the outside.
