Easter's coming round, and if you're in Preston looking for something better than the supermarket's plastic-wrapped offerings, we've tracked down some genuinely lovely independent chocolate makers who can get their eggs and treats to your door in time. What struck us during our search was how many small producers are putting real craft into Easter—proper chocolate work, interesting flavour combinations, proper packaging that actually feels like a gift.
Whether you're after a single showstopper egg for someone special, a selection box to share with the family, or a letterbox-friendly parcel that won't need signing for, there's something here that'll arrive at a Preston postcode and feel worth the effort. We've focused on makers who prioritise the chocolate itself and aren't just banking on Easter marketing.
Six individually wrapped chocolate eggs, each harbouring a salted caramel centre that's neither too sweet nor too salty—just the right kind of grown-up indulgence. Compact enough to post through a letterbox or tuck into a larger Easter hamper if you're doing the rounds across Preston.
A lollipop-style Easter treat that manages to be both whimsical and properly made, marbling white and milk chocolate into something you'd actually want to keep on display while you're eating it. Nice for someone who appreciates the visual side of their chocolate as much as the taste.
This one's designed for the letterbox—a chunky chocolate slab paired with luxury hot chocolate to stir into milk. Perfect timing if you're still wanting comfort drinks on Preston's chilly April mornings, and the slab itself is proper chocolate work, not something mass-produced.
A pairing of an Easter lolly with a clutch of smaller chocolate eggs that gives you textural variety without overwhelming you. Works well if you want to share something with a few people around a table rather than hoarding one big egg all yourself.
A mixed selection that brings together a few different chocolate approaches in one parcel. Without spoiling the specific contents, it's the kind of Easter box that arrives and gives you a proper choice rather than just more of the same chocolate repeated six times.
If you're the type to want several different chocolate lolly styles in one go—sampling what different makers can do with the Easter lolly format—this selection gives you that without having to chase down separate orders. Arrives as one parcel to a Preston address.
