We set out to find Easter chocolate that would actually arrive in Newark in time, and what struck us was how many independent makers are producing something far more interesting than the supermarket standard. What we've tracked down ranges from playful chocolate lollies to proper pralines, all of them made by people who still care about the craft.
The beauty of shopping locally sourced is that these arrive quickly to the Nottinghamshire area, and they tend to taste noticeably fresher. Whether you're after something fun for a child's basket or a more refined gift for an adult, the makers we've found have thought about their Easter offering properly.
A two-tone lolly that plays on that nostalgic Easter egg shape without the fuss of wrapping. The contrast between white and milk chocolate gives it genuine visual charm, and it arrives ready to give straightaway—no hunting for decorative packaging.
This collection bundles together a mix of chocolate treats, which means you can offer variety without having to source three separate orders. A practical choice if you're stocking up for multiple people around Newark.
The word 'ultimate' gets thrown around, but this one genuinely does the work: chocolate lollies in a format that suits both younger and older relatives. It's the kind of gift that lands without feeling like an afterthought.
Six individually crafted chocolates, each one filled with salted caramel. The fact that they're presented as an 'Easter egg' box rather than simply a praline selection shows the maker has genuinely considered the season—and that salt-and-sweet combination keeps you coming back.
This one arrives ready to use in two parts: a chocolate slab (good for sharing) and a companion hot chocolate mix posted together. If someone in Newark you're buying for enjoys hot chocolate as much as they do regular Easter sweets, this sidesteps the need to hunt for a separate gift entirely.
A lolly paired with mini eggs gives you the best of both texture worlds—the satisfying snap of the lolly plus the smaller sweetness of bite-sized chocolate. It's generous without being overwhelming, and it arrives as one thoughtful parcel.
