Easter in Chichester calls for proper chocolate, and we've tracked down independent makers whose Easter eggs and treats actually warrant the occasion. Whether you're after something to post out before the bank holidays or picking up for local friends, these are the ones that stood out to us—each with genuine craft and flavour worth seeking out.
We've focused on makers who've put real thought into what goes inside (and how it arrives), so you'll find everything from salted caramel-filled boxes to letterbox-friendly slabs. Most of these dispatch quickly enough to land in Chichester gardens well before Easter Sunday.
A box of six chocolates shaped as little Easter eggs, each one filled with salted caramel. The salt-sweet combination cuts through the richness in a way that feels grown-up and considered—quite different from the average supermarket egg.
This one solves the letterbox problem brilliantly: a slab of Easter egg chocolate paired with hot chocolate powder, so it arrives flat and fits through the post. Thoughtful packaging for anyone you're sending across the country, and the hot chocolate turns a simple gift into something you'd actually want to make yourself on a spring morning.
A collection of chocolate lollies in Easter shapes—not the novelty kind, but made with the sort of cocoa content that makes you pause mid-bite. They're generous enough to feel like a real treat, and the assortment means different people in the house won't fight over the last one.
A mixed box that runs the gamut of Easter chocolate: varied flavours, textures and styles packed together. It's the sort of gift where someone opens it and finds something they didn't expect—which is rather the point of a proper Easter treat box.
Luxury done without fuss: a chocolate Easter lolly alongside a handful of mini eggs, all held together in the sort of packaging that feels like someone actually cared about how it would be opened. The combination gives you texture variety—the lolly's weight against the smaller eggs' snap.
White chocolate and milk chocolate layered into a single Easter lolly—a choice that works if you know someone who'd never pick plain dark, or who loves the contrast of different cocoa percentages in one go. It's substantial enough that it lasts, not something that vanishes in two bites.
