Luxury chocolate Easter eggs, Easter chocolate and everything chocolaty.
Chocolate Easter Eggs - where to buy them and who is selling what type of Chocolate Easter Eggs. Easter 2010, in the UK, is Sunday the 4th of April.
It may come as no surprise that I love chocolate, but even I can’t eat or sample everything from every shop! This is why the End of Season Chocolate Selection from Hotel Chocolat is such a fantastic idea, a selection of the gorgeous chocolate recipes that are close to the sell by dates.
You get a balanced selection of chocolates from the range, you don’t get to choose it’s a lucky dip – with everybody being lucky.
I love the End of Season box because you get to try new chocolates that you might not normally choose and I have found some new favourites just from this “sample selection”, and the price is amazing for the amount of chocolate you get. Not to mention the fact that it’s rather fun not knowing what will arrive!
You can buy the Hotel Chocolat End of Season Selection here, but hurry they always sell out quick.
£8.50 for at least 400g of luxury chocolate.
Easter Sale at The Chocolate Trading Company, great savings on Easter chocolate.
The end of season chocolate sale includes foil wrapped novelty chocolate figures, foil wrapped eggs, chocolate filled hens eggs, some very cute novelty chocolate bunnies and rabbits, and of course the gourmet chocolate Easter Eggs that the Chocolate Trading Company are known for.
They also have a few of the new Michel Cluizel Easter chocolate range reduced, if you have never tried Michel Cluizel this would be a great opportunity.

The chocolate part of the Easter weekend may not be over…
Hotel Chocolat has a half price sale on Easter eggs and Easter chocolate.
The perfect way to try the eggs you wanted but didn’t get or to get more of the chocolate you loved.
Hotel Chocolat has a commitment to freshness so the chocolate and chocolate Easter eggs have a shorter shelf live than most other chocolate – so they have to sell it.

A milk caramel chocolate “Scrambled Egg” with six salted caramels from Hotel Chocolat.
Made from caramel flavoured milk chocolate, the egg is decorated with hand piped dark chocolate and naturally coloured white chocolates, giving the “scrambled” look and making each one unique.
The egg has beautiful sweet caramel aroma which escapes when you open the box, the milk chocolate is smooth and creamy with a mellow caramel flavour subtlety changes with each mouthful depending on the amount of white or dark chocolate, so the chocolate is different with each bite.
As if the striking egg wasn’t enough by itself, it also comes with a box of six salted caramel chocolates, each chunky chocolate is square with the a square Union Jack design and finished with the Hotel Chocolat “wax seal” in the same colour as the white chocolate on the egg.
This is my favourite egg so far this year, a good balance of caramel to chocolate, wow factor and wonderful flavour nuances. The Caramel Easter Egg is one of five luxury Scrambled Eggs from Hotel Chocolat. I just wish I could have them all.

Something a little bit different and a bit quirky an Easter Egg sandwich from Hotel Chocolat.
Two, quite thick slabs of 70% cocoa dark chocolate studded with cocoa nibs for crunch and texture, are sandwiched between two elegantly decorated Easter Egg shell halves which are also dark chocolate.
The two halves are then placed back to back in a rather ingenious box that folds out from a triangle to flat, leaving the little sandwich egg standing proudly in the middle.
The chocolate is smooth with a good rich flavour, but is not too strong or over the top, the cocoa nibs give a good soft crunch to the chocolate really add to the dark chocolate flavour.
All of Hotel Chocolat’s Sandwich Eggs are packed with flavour, are beautifully designed and have a fun element to them. The Dairy Free Easter Egg Sandwich would make a great chocolate gift for adults and children – even with the cocoa nibs.

Twelve of the legendary Champagne flavoured Booja Booja organic truffles in a 6” / 15cm ornamental egg.
The Booja Booja Champagne Truffle Easter Egg is proving extremely popular, not just with truffles lovers but with chocolate retailers too, this gift egg is available on more sites than any other Easter eggs I have come across.
So I took a very scientific approach in selecting whose egg to add to my site, I worked out the mean price with delivery added average spend of customers, factored in any current offers and deals on chocolate Easter eggs – and then chose the one with the prettiest picture!
I have listed all the prices at the different online stores, there is not that much difference in price – but if you look at the egg on the different sites you can get an ideal of the varying designs of the Booja Booja Champagne Truffle Eggs. You won’t actually get the egg design shown, but the one you do buy will be just as elegant and beautiful.
I know the last egg is more expensive than the others, but if you use the Chocolate Trading Company discount code and buy other chocolates it works out cheaper than other sites.
£19.99 – £23.99, 150g.
Labelled: Organic, Vegan / Dairy Free and Gluten Free.
