Even though they’ve been visible in supermarkets since February, it’s finally time to purchase that all important Easter Egg of choice and devour it if – you’ve refrained from eating one in the past 40 days and nights, that is.
Searching the high street far and wide, there’s a plethora of scrumptious eggs that we are desperate to get our hands on, and into our mouths this April 20.
As you might have seen on your TikTok ‘FYP’ or social media already, some have been hard to track down after going viral – and yes, we are looking at the The Cracking Pistachio Easter Egg from Waitrose (£17) and M&S Outrageously Chocolatey Custard Cream Biscuity Egg.
We’ve wanted to tuck into this since we first clapped eyes on it back in Feb… But is it worth the wait? (Picture: Metro/M&S/Ocado)
But fear not, Over the last few months, we’ve been tucking into quite the roster of delicious eggs and giving them our seal of approval. If you’re a chocoholic like many of us at Metro HQ, we’ve consumed a fair few – in the past week alone.
From bouji to bargain buys, we’ve found an egg for all ages – and price points too. So however you’re spending the Easter bank holiday weekend, we hope it’s surrounded by love, family and of course, chocolatey goodness.
In this guide, you’ll see all our favourites, including a few new ones that we’re adding into our basket asap – mostly to avoid disappointment in a few weeks’ time, tbh.
