Easter's coming round, and if you're in Leicester looking for something better than the supermarket aisle, we've tracked down some genuinely lovely chocolate eggs and Easter treats that'll actually arrive at your door in time. What stood out to us was how many independent makers have moved beyond the plastic-wrapped mass-produce: there are proper artisan options here, from lollies shaped like eggs to serious chocolate slabs designed to be shared.
Most of what we've found ships well to the East Midlands, so you've got a decent window to order without panic. Whether you're after something pocket-sized for children or a more grown-up chocolate gift, there's a real range of flavours and styles to choose from.
A straightforward choice if you need something fun and uncomplicated: chocolate egg lollies that work equally well as a small gift or a treat to tuck into Easter baskets. The appeal here is in the simplicity—just good chocolate on a stick, nothing fussy.
This combination puts together a larger chocolate egg lolly with a selection of mini eggs alongside it, giving you a bit more to open. It strikes a nice balance between looking like a proper gift without being over the top.
Now this is clever: a chunky chocolate slab that arrives alongside a hot chocolate mix, designed to fit through the letterbox. It's the sort of thing that feels thoughtful—someone's clearly put together a little Easter experience rather than just posting chocolate.
Six individual chocolates, each one filled with salted caramel. These are the sort of eggs that work best for adults—there's a proper flavour story here, and the salted-sweet combination means they're not cloying even if you eat a couple in one go.
A lolly that combines white and milk chocolate in one piece—useful if your household's split on their chocolate preferences, or if you just want something a touch less intense than pure dark. It's a small detail, but mixing the two does make it feel more indulgent than a single-note option.
A mixed collection of Easter chocolates that gives you variety without requiring you to pick and choose individual items. The appeal's in not having to overthink it—there's something for most tastes, and it arrives as a ready-made gift.
