We've been on the hunt for Easter chocolate eggs that'll actually arrive in Dartford with time to spare before the holiday – the kind made by people who care about what goes into them, not mass-produced supermarket fare. What we found ranges from lollies the size of your fist to elegant chocolate slabs, all of them proper craft rather than plastic-wrapped assembly lines.
Whether you're after something to hide in the garden, tuck into a gift box, or just keep for yourself, these are the ones that stood out to us. All can be delivered to Dartford in good time for Easter morning.
A lolly and mini eggs together – generous enough that children will actually be impressed when they unwrap it, yet small enough to stash in an Easter basket without guilt. The combination gives you texture variety in one go.
If you're after pure theatre, this is it. The lollies are substantial – proper confectionery, not a token gesture – and come in a range that means you can pick out exactly what appeals to you rather than getting landed with flavours you'll never eat.
A box of six individual chocolates shaped like eggs, each one filled with salted caramel. The salt-sweet combination is grown-up enough that these work just as well for your own Easter treat as they do for a gift.
White and milk chocolate in one lolly – if you're torn between which you prefer, here's the answer. It's elegant without being fussy, and substantial enough to actually taste like something you chose rather than grabbed from a garage.
A mixed box of Easter-themed chocolates that works if you want variety without having to order five different things. Each piece is finished properly, which makes it clear these aren't the type to melt and separate in transit to Dartford.
A chocolate slab paired with hot chocolate – clever because it's two gifts in one parcel, and because one is meant to be drunk while eating the other. Send it to someone in Dartford and they'll remember you every time they make it.
