There's so much to love about Easter. From sharing a delicious meal with family to picking out special Easter outfits to watching the kids unpack their baskets, the spring holiday fills our hearts with joy. It also fills our bellies with some delicious candy, and the classic chocolate Easter egg is the star.
April 9th will be here before you know it. So hop don't walk to stock up on the best chocolate Easter eggs for your child's or teen's basket. Our list of favorites features egg-shaped treats of all price points, sizes (from mini to mid-size to giant), and types, whether you prefer milk or dark chocolate, hollow or filled with all kinds of sweet surprises! And don't miss our favorite Easter candy and the best chocolate Easter bunnies.
These adorable little eggs come in three flavors: passion fruit and dark chocolate ganache, hazelnut milk chocolate ganache, and dark chocolate ganache. The pastel egg crate tied with sunny yellow ribbon is too cute!
Of course, we couldn't make this list without including the classic milk chocolate Cadbury Creme Egg! It's an Easter icon for a reason. "True story," shares Country Living senior digital editor Terri Robertson. "I was once leaving a store around the time Cadbury eggs were making their annual debut. I saw a woman walk out, sit down on the sidewalk, and devour one right there. And the only thought in my mind was, yeah, I get it."
Compartés Chocolatier in L.A. upgraded the classic flavor combo with gourmet dark chocolate and wild honey-sweetened peanut butter—the perfect sophisticated addition to an adult Easter basket.
Wow! This giant chocolate egg weighs half a pound and measures 5 inches tall. Outside, it's decorated like an old-school bakery treat with candy icing roses. Inside, it's stuffed with honey marshmallows, California walnuts, and milk chocolate!
Stonewall Kitchen, purveyor of jams, jellies, and all sorts of other gourmet treats, is coming in strong with this one! Perfect for sticking into cupcakes or enjoying as is.
It might be difficult to break into an egg this beautiful, but someone's got to do it. This ultra-luxe egg is hand painted, adorned with edible 24k-gold leaf, and shipped chilled to guarantee pristine condition upon arrival. Price shown for one egg, available in three colors.
At 3.5 ounces, this is not the heftiest chocolate egg out there, but its hollow form means it's still, as one reviewer describes it, "humongous." Add to that a pretty gold wrap, beloved Ferrero Rocher milk chocolate with hazelnuts, and a good price point—that wins for the best large chocolate egg! We also love the smaller Ferrero Rocher Golden Eggs with creamy chocolate hazelnut centers.
Presentation is everything! Three delicious chocolate eggs are tucked into a rattan nest—ready for gifting. The trio of flavors includes pistachio white chocolate ganache, peanut butter white chocolate ganache, and hazelnut milk chocolate ganache.
It's a fact: holiday-shaped Reese's will always taste even better than the original. Need proof? Watch how quickly these fly off the shelves every year. Note: Here we've featured the divine peanut butter creme egg, but we also love the Reese's classic peanut butter eggs.
Godiva's great quality has earned them a top spot on the chocolate aisle, which means this little bunny hugging an egg is definitely going in our shopping carts.
There are few chocolates as luxurious and decadent as Godiva! A robin's egg blue gift box and jewel-toned foil wrapping make these chocolate egg-shaped gems look as good as they taste.
