These Easter Eggs Have 1 *Very* Important Difference
We adore Easter at The Handbook. Besides your birthday, when else is chocolate for breakfast not just acceptable but encouraged? While we delight in exploring the annual Easter egg selections and picking our favourites, we have one small qualm with chocolate eggs: they’re hollow, which means there’s less chocolate to enjoy. Fortunately, Hotel Chocolat offers an ingenious solution with its range of eggs featuring heftier shells, along with non-hollow options filled with gourmet goodies.

Starting with a more moderate – though no less exciting – option is the classic Extra Thick Egg. Available in eight delectable flavour offerings such as the Exquisitely Nutty, Milk to Caramel, Serious Dark Fix, and also Unbelievably Vegan.
Open the luxe eggshell exterior, shaped like a cacao pod, to reveal a premium chocolate egg enclosed in gold foil and filled with tailored treats. Notably, the pod is a sustainable alternative to plastic – using 100% recyclable paper pulp for the protective shell and paper made from cacao bean husks for the sleeve and menu. What the lucky recipient does with the egg inside once opened, be it sharing or squirrelling away for a rainy day, is up to them…

The centrepiece
With the option to theatrically crack the XXL creation in the middle of the table with friends and family watching on.
When an Easter egg is named after an ostrich egg – AKA the largest bird egg in the world – you know it’s going to be sizeable. So it follows that Hotel Chocolat’s showstopping Ostrich Egg Classic, which weighs over a kilo, is designed to be shared (or given as a statement gift), with the option to theatrically crack the XXL creation in the middle of the table with friends and family watching on. The egg itself is undeniably chunky with its exterior packed with crunchy cookies, puffed rice, and crispy feuilletine. What’s more, you can enjoy the additional tray of 20 handpicked treats ranging from premium truffles to pralines to complement the egg, meaning there’s something for everyone.
A special little something
Chunky, generously sized eggs are at the top of our Easter wishlists, but Hotel Chocolat also has a brilliant selection of smaller eggs that are ideal for entertaining or gifting because sometimes the best presents come in small packages.

We particularly like the tiddly pots and gifting tins, which kiddies can keep long after Easter.
