Easter's on its way, and if you're in Hastings hunting for proper chocolate eggs rather than the mass-produced supermarket fare, we've tracked down some genuinely lovely options that'll ship to you in good time for the holiday. These aren't the usual suspects—they're made by actual chocolatiers and small producers who care about what goes into them, which makes a real difference when you're giving them as gifts or keeping them for yourself.
We've searched out everything from solid chocolate slabs to filled eggs and chocolate lollies, all the way through to little gift sets you can post straight on. Whether you're after something dark and grown-up, milky and indulgent, or something with a playful twist, there's plenty here to browse before Easter arrives on the south coast.
A box of six handmade chocolates with salted caramel centres—the kind of gift that announces itself as something special the moment you open it. Each one's made with care, and that savoury-sweet hit of salted caramel cuts through chocolate in a way that feels far more grown-up than your standard Easter egg.
A white and milk chocolate lolly that's both generous in size and genuinely pretty to look at. It's the sort of Easter treat you'd want to actually display for a moment before eating, and it ships easily to Hastings without fuss.
This one's pitched at those who like variety without the fiddling. You get several chocolate lollies in one package, each a slightly different flavour experience, so there's something for every mood over the Easter weekend.
A little kit that combines a larger chocolate lolly with a handful of mini eggs—useful if you're the sort of person who likes options in one go, or if you're after a gift that feels both generous and thoughtful without being enormous.
An Easter treat box that bundles several different chocolate bits together. It's broad enough that most people will find something they actually want to eat, and it arrives as one parcel to your Hastings address, ready to give or keep.
Here's something a shade different: a proper thick chocolate slab matched with a hot chocolate letterbox pack. If you want to give something that does double duty—immediate eating pleasure plus the promise of a cosy hot chocolate later—this delivers both in one delivery. The kind of Easter gift that feels like the giver actually thought it through.
