The best Easter eggs 2022: from the cheap and cheerful to the fabulously boujee

Tasted by shopping editor, Aimee Jakes @a1meejakes:You can now officially buy a Creme Egg trifle and it may be one of the greatest inventions since retinol and ASOS Premier Delivery. Think all the gooey goodness of a creme egg but with lashings of cream and a melt-in-mouth mousse. Too good.

Tasted by shopping editor, Aimee Jakes @a1meejakes:Lemon meringue chocolate sounded a little too wild for me, but in the name of journalism I gave it a go and reader, I'm glad I did. It has all the full-flavour brilliance of Tony Chocolonely paired with a very subtle lemon taste.

As usual, Lidl has come in clutch when it comes to Easter treats - and you can grab a Deluxe Premium Easter Egg in four different flavours: Salted Caramel, Eton Mess, Dark Chocolate & Coffee or Dark Chocolate & Mint. Plus, you can grab two for £6. Bargain.

Tasted by heat contributor, Carl Smith @carldavidsmith:Trust me when I say I've tasted a lot of chocolate in my time. I basically consider myself in the near-connoisseur territory. So it's a pretty big deal that I can honestly say this is possibly the best chocolate ever to have passed my lips. The perfect balance of a sharp (but not too bitter) dark chocolate with that velvety peanut butter, all within a snack-sized egg, makes for a match made in heaven. Full disclaimer: I ate the entire bag in one oh-so-heavenly sitting and have absolutely no regrets. Cannot rate highly enough. Would probably swap a distant relative for another bag.Also, this is my first foray into vegan chocolate and I've now seen the light. It's... better than 'real' chocolate? Mind blown.

Not everyone is a fan of the orange and chocolate combination, but with "zingy orange flavoured caramel flakes" sprinkled on top, how could you say no? Extra bonus - it's coeliac and vegan friendly, and you can buy a case of six for £33.56 and treat your friends.

Tasted by commercial writer, Emily Farquhar @emfarqs:You can never go wrong with treating yourself with one of Cadbury's Pots of Joy. So creamy and smooth in texture, every spoonful is joy itself and you get four of them. What a win.

We have no words, other than 'only Heston could come up with the concept of a Scotch Easter egg'. One review states, "It's mad, it is Heston and it works, once again! Yes, it is a bit over-sweet but it's so fun and rich and naughty. Recommend cutting the whole egg in half first, then experiment eating it! Great combination of flavours from the mango, yuzu and chocolate. So fun to take your first bite, then be confused for few seconds, then delighted!"

Tasted by heat contributor, Lucy Smith @luceeeeesmith:I've had bad experiences with vegan chocolate in the past (chocolate should not crumble, just sayin') but I like oat milk in my coffee so thought I'd give this one a try. Boy oh boy, I'm glad I did because, for a vegan egg, this thing tastes positively creamy. The salted caramel takes away from the slightly darker milk chocolate and my boyfriend and I were practically fighting for the last pieces. Would recommend to vegans and non-vegans, tbh.

Ok so... this is weird but in the best way possible. With "creamy white chocolate ganache eggs" and "hazelnut praline and milk chocolate" soldiers, you can defo justify eating chocolate for breakfast with this. One review states, "Highly addictive! Beautifully presented and a talking point of the day."

Tasted by heat contributor, Connie Hack @connie.hack:Who doesn't love Mini Eggs tbh? So what is not to love about a Mini Eggs Easter egg? The perfect egg, combining a Cadbury Easter egg with Mini Eggs in the shell - THE dream. Simply delish.

Tasted by heat contributor, Red Edwards @red.edwards:I don't know about you lot, but when I think of Easter, Cadbury instantly springs to mind. My Easter egg pile always consists of Cadbury Eggs so, when I saw the new Daim bar egg, I was literally drooling. It's incredible and so, so tasty.

Tasted by shopping editor, Aimee Jakes @a1meejakes:As someone who normally finds sweet popcorn 'meh', I was pleasantly surprised to discover this gem, which has truly found the sweet spot when it comes to the ultimate chocolate: popcorn ratio. The encrusted salted caramel popcorn pieces really elevate the standard egg offering and the whole thing was inhaled within MINUTES. My only critiques are 1) would have liked it to have been the size of my head 2) far too moreish.

Tasted by deputy editor, Eden-Olivia Lord @eden_liv_lord:If you're a fan of Baileys then you're going to want this at Easter. The truffles taste exactly like a glass of Baileys - minus the alcohol. As for the egg? There are actual salted caramel pieces in it - obsessed.

ud83dudc4fEASTERud83dudc4fBROWNIESud83dudc4fYA'LL. With four large brownies, two large blondies and six shortbread biscuits, you'll be supporting a small business, and fighting your easter cravings. Among the flavours are Maltesers and even carrot cake. Yummmmmyyy.

Stop us when we've convinced you - one: Baileys. Two: fudge. Three: chocolate buttons. Four: salted caramel crispies. Yeah, we know we had you at number one, but worth going through the list anyway.

Tasted by heat contributor, Lucy Smith @luceeeeesmith:Full disclosure, I'm not even a Creme Egg fan but this cookie... THIS COOKIE was an absolute delight and I've already told approximately 15 friends that they need to get one, stat. Creamy milk chocolate chunks cut through the gooey cookie dough and I think I'm in love.Plus, at seven inches (ud83cudf46 - you know you thought it, too) it's perfect for sharing. Or not, whatever floats ya boat.

Crack open this golden shimmery snitch egg for some scrummy Belgian white chocolate. "You're a wizard Harry" says H-egg-rid. (...Sorry)

Whoever thought up the concept of "letterbox gifts" is our new best friend. Super easy to send to a friend without worrying if they'll be home for the postie, this gift set has a "range of delicious items including four milk chocolate bubbly bunnies and our indulgent milk Choc Corn chocolate popcorn" along with an easter egg "selection of chocolate, orange and caramel varieties to enjoy!"

Pop the champagne fellas. ud83cudf7eud83eudd42 Not only does this luxurious easter egg contain Processco-laced truffles, but "crackle crystals that burst like little bubbles in your mouth", too.

A piece of art that you'll want to look at forever before eventually devouring, this is self-care 101 in our opinion. Each one is hand-decorated with "expertly tempered Tercentenary-blend milk chocolate."

Tasted by shopping editor, Aimee Jakes @a1meejakes:Sure, it's an expensive egg, but it's truly the most delicious egg you will ever eat in your whole life. I could describe it as 'posh hazlenutty chocolate which makes your tongue TINGLE with happiness' but that would not be giving it enough justice. A downright boujee egg to demand from the other half, because you simply are the queen. Get it online with Eataly's nationwide delivery.
