Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse – 47 euros. The Turned Easter Egg 400g. Eggs filled with praline and plain chocolate Easter sea-themed fishes and shellfish. Original and mysterious creations that appear to have been carved, sculpted and hand crafted, evoking the delicate artisanal chocolate of the Manufacture.

Selfridges Artisan Milk Chocolate Easter Egg £29.99. Tucked away in the medieval town of Conwy in Wales, you’ll find Baravelli’s.

Hotel Chocolat Extra-Thick White Chocolate Easter Egg. £27.00. White & Light is all about indulgence, with two generously proportioned halves of opulent thick, white chocolate. It’s wrapped it in gold foil for a glint of anticipation when you untie the ribbon and lift the lid, then filled with some of the finest high-cocoa butter white recipes.

To celebrate their centenary, Betty’s have crafted this almost too-beautiful-to-eat white chocolate egg coloured with the muted pink shade that founder, Frederick Belmont, chose for the first Bettys café. It’s hand-finished with silver lustre, green stems and white wild roses.
Heston for Waitrose Chocolate Tea Pot. £20.00. A hollow milk chocolate teapot with cocoa nib “tealeaves” and “sugar cube” chocolates.

A twist on the traditional easter egg worthy of the maddest tea party.
