The best supermarket Easter eggs 2023

For the full list of winners, including the best hot cross buns, visit the Easter Taste Awards 2023. We've also rounded up the most unusual Easter eggs and chocolate we've tried this year, including a cheese Easter egg and giant 500g half-and-half egg...

Best milk chocolate egg

Winner: ASDA Extra Special Extra Thick honeycomb, pretzel & caramel milk chocolate egg

This generously sized egg was an all-round winner. Thick chocolate is studded with honeycomb, pretzel pieces and caramel giving plenty of interest, balanced sweet and salt levels for a very moreish egg. We kept going back for more.

Asda (£7)

Runner up: Waitrose Caramel Ribbon easter egg

A delicate, smaller Easter egg, this is a simple classic done well. The pretty ribbon design decorates milk chocolate with good snap that is definitely on the sweeter side.

Available from:
Waitrose (£7)

Best dark chocolate egg

Winner: M&S Extremely Chocolatey dark chocolate peanut & pretzel egg

Glossy chocolate had very good thickness and snap, with pretzels and chunky peanut pieces offering welcome crunch.

Available from:
M&S (£7, in store)

Runner up: Moser Roth Chocolate Lovers Duo egg

A distinctly grown-up egg, this had an elegant and unique design. The addition of coffee adds a level of bitterness that won’t be for everybody but is enjoyable if you don’t like overly sweet chocolate.

Available from:
Aldi (£6.49)

Best white chocolate egg

Winner: Waitrose Raspberry Ribbon Easter egg

This fun, colourful egg looks very impressive and tastes premium. It is packed with freeze-dried raspberries which had tang and a tiny bit of crunch without being overpowering, and cuts through the sweet white chocolate perfectly.

Available from:
Waitrose (£7)

Runner up: By Sainsbury’s rainbow speckled egg

This egg would be great for kids and adults alike with its colourful chocolate beans on the front. The white chocolate is creamy with a hint of vanilla.

Available from:
Sainsbury's (£4.50)

Best vegan egg

Winner: Asda Extra Special Free From dark chocolate egg with vanilla truffles

The complex dark chocolate is smooth and silky with impressive creaminess for a vegan chocolate.

Available from:
Asda (£5)

Runner up: Lidl Deluxe Single Origin Easter egg (Madagascan dark chocolate)

This has a quirky lizard design with pretty shimmer. The chocolate is thin and crisp with great snap and balanced level of bitterness.

Available from:
Lidl (£6.99, in store)

Best children's egg

Winner: Waitrose Take it Slow Boe

The adorable tortoise design and intricate detail of this unusual ‘egg’ won over judges, but the chocolate was equally standout – smooth, creamy and a great thickness.

Available from:
Waitrose (£6)

Runner up: M&S Curly the Cockapoo

This chocolate puppy is a work of art almost too pretty to eat, with incredible levels of detail giving very realistic results. The blend of milk and white chocolate is very sweet, but nice and creamy.

Available from:
Ocado (£6)

Best miniature eggs

Winner: Moser Roth Belgian chocolate mini eggs

This smart box of chocolates holds a variety of gourmet flavours inside each mini egg including salted caramel, speculoos and chocolate orange. The chocolate was good quality with generous levels of ganache and fillings hidden inside.

Available from:
Aldi (£3.99, in store)

Runner up: Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference mixed Swiss mini eggs

Creamy Swiss chocolate made these grown-up mini eggs stand out, each with subtly different hazelnut fillings and different chocolates.

Available from:
Sainsbury's (£3.50)

Best chocolate bunny

Joint winner: Moser Roth milk chocolate hazelnut bunny

Easter bunnies don’t just have to be for kids. This hazelnut bunny has a more grown-up flavour, with lots of crunchy nuts throughout and smooth chocolate on a simplistic design.

Available from:
Aldi (£1.49)

Joint winner: Waitrose Hip Hop Harri

The sweet design of this characterful bunny was impressive, but judges particularly loved the surprise of the chocolate carrot filled with caramel. The chocolate was smooth, creamy and melts easily.

Available from:
Waitrose (£6)

Runner up: M&S Bunny Cool

This bunny stood out for a fun design that made judges smile as well as high-quality chocolate. It was one of the larger bunnies tried, so makes an impressive gift.

Available from:
Ocado (£5)

Best Easter sweets

Winner: M&S Percy Pig Easter party time

Percy Pig is instantly recognisable and here he’s been given a colourful neon makeover (along with some friends) – juicy, sweet and sure to please a crowd once a bag is opened.

Available from:
Ocado (£1.85)

Runner up: Lidl Deluxe Easter fudge (Belgian chocolate orange)

The smooth, creamy texture of this soft fudge is almost like ganache. Clear orange sweetness is balanced by welcome chunks of dark chocolate.

Available from:
Lidl (£1.79/150g, in store)

Runner up: Waitrose carrot cake fudge

This has a more traditional fudge texture: dry and crumbly, in a satisfying way. The judges could not make out the ‘carrot cake’ flavour but still enjoyed the taste.

Available from:
Waitrose (£3.50)
