While snapping up a handy bar is a cheap and easy way to enjoy some yummy chocolate, there’s something undeniably special about celebrating spring with a classic Easter egg filled with treats.
Writer and busy mum of two, Narin Flanders, wanted to embrace the Easter spirit without overspending this year. She explained: “I usually try to keep chocolate snacks to a minimum in our home. Instead, I prefer to pick up a fun craft set from The Works for Easter. This year, I’ve chosen these adorable egg-shaped mini gardens that my eight- and ten-year-olds can grow themselves.”
However, despite her best intentions, the temptation of a traditional Easter egg has proven too strong to ignore. Embracing the inevitable, Narin discovered a fantastic deal on a Cadbury Easter Hamper that is perfect for sharing with the family.
For many of us, Cadbury is the first choice when it comes to chocolate. Mini Eggs, Creme Eggs and newer additions like the Caramel Egg appear on supermarket shelves seemingly before the Christmas Miniature Heroes have even been sold out, reports the Mirror.
The brand offers Easter-themed versions of all its most popular chocolates and has recently reduced prices on many of their gifts, eggs and hampers for the occasion, even though Easter is still a month away. Options range from sharing boxes ideal for gifting, to luxurious looking giant options like personalised gifts.
Narin said: “I’ve discovered a method to secure an Easter hamper filled not only with enough eggs for the entire family but also some extra goodies, thanks to a combination of deals from a money-saving website. Cadbury Gifts Direct has discounted their Family Easter Chocolate Egg Selection from £20 to £18 in the sale.
“However, customers who sign up for membership on the deals site TopCashback can receive a free £15 bonus on their first purchase.”
With the cashback deal it effectively reduces the cost of the box of treats to £1.95, which is cheaper than a large bar of Dairy Milk at any major supermarket. The Family Easter Chocolate Egg Selection is brimming with enticing treats suitable for everyone, from white chocolate buttons for the little ones to luxurious caramel nibbles for the grown ups.
The complete box contains a 96g Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Buttons Egg, a 98g White Chocolate Buttons Egg, a 96g Cadbury Caramel Nibbles Easter Egg and a 96g Cadbury Mini Eggs Easter Egg. In addition to the four eggs, chocolate lovers will also receive 80g of Mini Eggs and a five-pack of the brand’s famous mixed Creme Eggs, including Milk, White and Caramel versions, adding another 200g weight to all the goodies inside.
Delighted with the deal, Narin explained: “This means that after cashback, shoppers get 666g of chocolate for £1.95, equating to 29p per 100g. This is significantly cheaper than high street supermarkets and even Amazon, where the cheapest Dairy Milk costs £1.24 per 100g.”
Customers have the option to send it to a loved one, with the ability to include a gift message at checkout, or have it delivered directly for a fridge full of chocolate delights that will last until Good Friday and beyond.
“In my opinion, this is the ideal size set for our family, particularly considering the price. I’m certain the eggs will be consumed while we spend a school holiday morning creating mini gardens or engaging in crystal art, which is currently the preferred budget-friendly craft in our home,” Narin said.
Cadbury isn’t the only brand enticing customers to place their orders early. There are excellent alternatives out there, especially if you’re seeking something unique for older children and adults.
Hotel Chocolat’s 2025 range includes some spectacular eggs and their distinctive Easter egg sandwiches, now available in five different flavours. In our household, the lamb and mint (don’t worry, the lamb is just for show) is the favourite, but the entire range is two for £22 for those eager to sample the other options.
Lindt enthusiasts can choose from eggs dedicated to many of their flavours beyond the iconic red original ball, including Tiramisu, Salted Caramel, and Blood Orange among others. If chocolate isn’t your preference, then luxury liquorice brand Lakrids by Bulow is another fantastic choice.
Their gourmet licorice is made in small batches, it’s gluten free and packs a punch. While its premium price tag means you’re not going to binge it in one sitting, its flavour and intensity mean you won’t need to, as each piece can be savoured, making it a sweet treat that will last well into spring. Their eggs this year come in zesty white chocolate and passion fruit, crispy caramel and crunchy toffee flavour while the small spring selection box at £16.95 is a great way to get a taste of everything.
