Easter's coming round, and if you're in Birmingham looking to send or stock up on chocolate eggs that actually taste like they've been made with care, we've tracked down some proper alternatives to the supermarket staples. We spent time finding makers who've thought about flavour, texture and the whole experience—not just wrapped something in foil and called it done.
The good news: most of these ship quickly across the Midlands, so you're not scrambling at the last minute. What stood out to us was how many small producers have moved beyond the basic milk chocolate egg. You'll find salted caramel fillings, luxury lollies shaped like eggs, even hot chocolate kits that turn Easter into something you actually look forward to making.
A collection of chocolate lollies shaped like Easter eggs—straightforward, hand-finished, and the kind of thing that works whether you're hiding them in a garden or dropping them in a basket for someone across Birmingham.
This pairs a larger chocolate egg lolly with a scatter of mini eggs. It's generous without being over the top, and arrives in a proper gift box that doesn't need much doing to it.
A mixed bag of Easter chocolate treats that gives you variety without the fuss. You get different textures and flavours in one go, which means everyone in the household usually finds something they'll actually eat.
Here's something different: a thick chocolate slab that tastes like an Easter egg should, sent alongside hot chocolate for letterbox delivery. It's the kind of thing that arrives at your Birmingham door ready to become an afternoon with someone.
A lolly made with white and milk chocolate in layers, which sounds simple until you taste the balance. Not too sweet, and the combination of textures keeps it interesting.
Six individual chocolates, each one filled with salted caramel—the kind where the salt actually does something, rather than just sitting on top for show. A proper small indulgence rather than another egg you'll feel obliged to finish.
