From chocolate chickens and bunnies to dino-shaped creations — when it comes to the best Easter eggs for kids, there really is something for every taste bud. 

Choosing the best Easter eggs for kids isn’t as simple as nipping to the shop and picking up the first option you see. Nowadays, there are tons of delectable chocolate creations to choose from and each and every one comes with its own USP.  So, how do you possibly choose the best Easter egg for your little one when there's so much variety?

Well, this depends on a few things. For one, does your little chocolate lover have any preferences? Maybe they favour milk chocolate over the more rich and bitter dark which comes with a higher percentage of cocoa. While younger children might prefer a creamy white chocolate egg that’s sweet, milky and melt-in-the-mouth good. Of course, it’s also a good idea to find out their allergies, or if you’re unsure, it could be a safe bet to steer clear of nuts. And if you’ve got a little chocoholic who’s got dietary restrictions, that’s no problem. Thankfully, most brands offer plenty of vegan and dairy-free options so no one has to go without. 

Another point to be wary of is the packaging. Children are naturally drawn to playful designs (and who can blame them?). So you may want to consider picking up an Easter egg box that features their favourite movie or TV character. Plus, if you’re looking for treats that go the extra mile, why not pick up a personalised Easter egg?
