Anyone that declares Easter as being solely for kids clearly hasn’t seen the egg collection at M&S for 2021. Yes, of course there’s the Percy Pig and Colin the Caterpillar galore you’d expect, but the adult range is something else. Whether you happen to be a dark chocolate lover, a fan of white and blonde or anything in between, they’ve got your back.
Here’s our hot picks of this year’s lineup.
EXTRA THICK BLONDE & WHITE CHOCOLATE EGG
Anyone that misses Caramac needs to seriously consider stockpiling this beast of an egg. Just as the title promises, this decadent egg is extremely thick and well worth its £12 price tag. With one half creamy white chocolate and the other a luxuriously rich caramel blonde, you’ll find this one hard to put down.
I love white and blonde chocolate, and so this particular egg had been winking at me for a few weeks before I finally gave in and brought one home. Needless to say, it’s now long gone. Enough said.
SINGLE ORIGIN DARK CHOCOLATE EGG WITH TRUFFLES
If you like to take a walk on the dark side and are a sucker for pretty packaging, then this single origin dark chocolate egg will be the ultimate temptation. Made with 85% Tumaco cocoa, this Colombian beauty perfectly balances the complexity of premium dark chocolate with fruity and floral overtones to perfection.
The rich ganache truffles are equally as impressive, giving you a powerful cocoa hit that begs to be complemented with a double espresso or a glass of fine red wine. Wrapped up in a red bow, the box artwork showcases a selection of beautiful flowers found in the lush tropical forests of the Pacific Coast. An exceptional gift for someone you love.
WHITE CHOCOLATE DIPPY EGGS
Did I mention I love white chocolate? As someone who can take or leave a Cadbury’s Cream Egg, these speckled eggs filled with caramel ganache caught my eye and did not disappoint. Extremely rich, but well worth stocking up on. Another product you might want to stockpile before Easter is all over.
BELGIAN EGG SELECTION
Can’t make up your mind? These indulgent Belgian Mini Eggs cover a lot of ground, with four delicious flavours to choose from. My personal favourites were the Salted Caramel with a hint of pink Himalayan salt and the Crunchy Praline with milk chocolate and praline pieces.
EASTER BUNNY CRUMPETS
Lastly, a non-chocolate item, but if you love a good bit of crumpet first thing in the morning, then how can you say no to these Easter Bunny Crumpets? Light and deliciously fluffy, they’re crying out for a smothering of Nutella or the addictively good M&S Salted Caramel Spread.
The M&S Food Easter 2021 collection is available from your local store now, while stocks last.
