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? If you’re ready to get cracking, keep scrolling to discover the best Easter eggs for kids in 2024. And while you're here, if you're wondering what day you give Easter eggs or you're interested in securing the best Easter egg hampers, we've got just the thing!

Best Easter eggs for kids 2024
We've taste-tested every single Easter egg in this roundup so you can take our word for it when we say that these are the best Easter eggs to buy for kids in 2024 - our ten-year-old tester agrees!
This hollow Cadbury milk chocolate egg is studded with delicious shortcake biscuit pieces and it comes with two packets of nibbly fingers. The perfect choice for little ones (ok, and not so little ones...) who love a Cadbury's Finger.
Our verdict: It's tricky to overstate how tasty this Easter egg is - the chocolate shell is remarkably thick and the chunks of Cadbury Fingers biscuits add a truly scrumptious and satisfying extra crunch.
This thick hollow chocolate egg has micro pieces of Cadbury Mini Eggs embedded throughout, plus it comes with a bag of Mini Eggs so it's a total treat for kids (and anyone...) who spends all year waiting for Mini Eggs to hit the shops.
Our verdict: My ten-year-old daughter is a huge fan of the Cadbury Inclusions range and this egg scored especially highly with her. It's a delicious twist on the standard chocolate egg with a super satisfying texture. Plus, it's £10 with a Nectar card.
Brand new from Cadbury for Easter 2024, this thick-shelled Easter egg is a delicious blend of creamy marbled Cadbury Dairy Milk and White chocolate and comes with individually wrapped milk and white chocolate chunks.
Our verdict: Scoffing a whole Easter egg made from white chocolate can be a bit much so this combo is the perfect mix for kids who like both milk and white chocolate. Got a Nectar card? Get £2 off if you buy from Sainsbury's.
A thick milk chocolate egg with honey and almond nougat is a bit of an acquired taste for kids but Toblerone fans will love the cool and quirky shape, and it comes with six cute mini chocolate Toblerone bars.
Our verdict: This is a distinctive Easter egg that catches the attention of kids because of its unusual shape. The actual egg is a geometric design but also the box looks like a triangular chunk of a giant Toblerone bar - clever!
For kids who love caramel-flavoured chocolate, this is a brilliant value Easter egg at just £3 for 183g. It's (just about) big enough to enjoy over a day or two rather than scoffing in one sitting, and it comes with a bar of delicious Caramilk too.
Our verdict: Creamy and delicious, this is quite a different taste to a standard bar of chocolate so it's not one to buy unless you're sure the recipient is a fan - but we're absolutely hooked.
Ok, it's not technically an egg but kids are sure to love this super cute milk chocolate Easter bunny - and we love that you can have the recipient's name hand-iced on it a personalised and thoughtful Easter chocolate gift.
We say: We tested the milk chocolate version of this easter bunny. My 10-year-old daughter thought the flavour was 'a little bit too strong' although she found the bunny very appealing. It lasted ages as she only nibbled little bits at a time.
Handcrafted with 47% Colombia-origin chocolate, this is a rich Easter egg with wow factor - the outside has a striking mottled finish and the inside is studded with white and dark chocolate dinosaurs and ammonite shapes.
We say: All the kids in our taste test were desperate to crack this one open. Some found the flavour a bit rich compared to their usual chocolate of choice but this definitely got the biggest reaction - it's a very cool design.
Salted caramel is a distinctive flavour that not all kids are into but this smooth milk chocolate egg will definitely appeal to older kids and teens who love all things salted caramel. Or buy it for a kid and hope there's loads left over!
We say: Creamy, delicious, and with just the right amount of salt to caramel zing, this egg is smaller than we expected it to be, based on the size of the box. But you do get a salted caramel Lindt Gold Bunny too.
Meet Elizapeck, Woolliam, and Rabbert; cute little characters cast from high-cacao chocolate. The perfect size for little hands to hold, each hollow character is made following the Hotel Chocolat principle of more cocoa and less sugar.
We say: My ten-year-old daughter hasn't stopped talking about Elizapeck and her 'scrumptious' caramel milk chocolate flavour. Her only complaint was that she'd eaten her too quickly! A great choice for toddlers.
This is a box of sixteen bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Easter Bunnies - wearing bow ties, no less - made of solid caramel chocolate with a malty and not-too-sweet flavour.
We say: The grown-ups in our taste test scoffed these bunnies alarmingly quickly but when the 10-year-old got her paws on one she was very happy. They're pretty rich for kids so one or two were plenty - but scrummy!
Expertly made by the team behind the brand Cocoba, which prides itself on crafting 'exceptional quality chocolate products' this creation has been hand-decorated with delicious honeycomb pieces that add a crispy texture.
We say: A brilliant choice for teens or kids who are vegan and love honeycomb and chocolate but love a slightly more sophisticated flavour than your average chocolate bar.
Another showstopper, this 47% Colombia-origin milk chocolate bunny is made exclusively for Chococo and beautifully hand-decorated with natural colours. It's sustainable, ethical and slave-free and comes in 100% plastic-free packaging.
We say: Older kids and teens who care about the origins of their chocolate will love this quirky Easter bunny. The flavour is delicious but delicate and its real wow factor is the cool shape and pattern. Almost too good to eat!
What kid doesn't love gooey caramel and crunchy biscuit wrapped in smooth milk chocolate? This is a delicious hollow milk chocolate shell plus you get one original TWIX chocolate bar included.
We say: This Easter egg carton is fully recyclable, which we rate highly, and the egg itself was a huge hit with our Twix-obsessed 10-year-old taste tester. Sometimes fancy eggs are over-rated!
The perfect Easter egg for kids who love Rowntree's Randoms, this is a hollow milk chocolate egg studded with fruit flavoured jelly and marshmallow pieces, plus you get a bag of Rowntree's Randoms included.
We say: Our ten-year-old tester isn't a huge fan of these sweets but the Easter egg version was a big hit. There are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives in Rowntree's sweets so it's a good choice if healthier choices matter.
This smooth and creamy hollow chocolate egg is infused with orange and has an exploding candy chocolate orange inside. You need to be a fan of orange-flavoured chocolate to like this but for kids who are, it's basically the best Easter egg ever.
We say: My ten-year-old daughter recently discovered she loves orange-flavoured chocolate so this Easter egg option pretty much blew her mind. Her only complaint is that it's not available all year round!
How do they like their eggs in the morning? If it's chocolate-covered then feast your eyes on these chocolate truffles. Pick up these eight tempting truffles and pralines which take the form of cheerful chocolate half-eggs.
We say: These were the perfect size to devour with a cuppa. Made from milk, white and caramel chocolate, every single mouthful is bound to bring a smile (or two!)
If you've got an animal lover, or more specifically, a koala lover, then this is the best easter egg for them. But this chocolate creation looks good, tastes good and does good. Every purchase helps support animal preservation project, Aussie Ark.
We say: Made from 98% milk chocolate, this cheeky little creature is almost too cute to eat. We loved the delicious chocolate taste and the fact the brand donates a percentage of the sales to a koala charity makes it all the more delectable!
