If you prefer something on a smaller, but no less delicious, scale, take a look at the Yorkshire maker’s hand-painted ganache eggs that come in a box of eight. Fortnum & Mason also has a beautifully presented trio of decorated easter eggs handcrafted from dark, milk and white chocolate decorated with sugar flowers and filled with chocolate animals.

Easter eggs that take a walk on the wild side

Maintaining the ‘wildlife’ theme is Hotel Chocolat’s giant Classic Ostrich Easter Egg, which weighs over a kilo. While Dukeshill has a large range of Easter chocolate treats including not just eggs and hampers but delightful and deceptively realistic salted caramel chocolate quail eggs and praline chocolate eggs. Violet and rose creams can be rather Marmitey but those who love them will adore Fortnum & Mason’s handmade dark chocolate egg filled with them.
