The best Easter eggs for kids this year include a striking geometric chocolate bunny, a caramel milk chocolate chicken and - wait for it - a jurassic-inspired Easter egg with an edible dinosaur concealed inside! 

It's tricky to choose the best Easter egg to buy for kids when the shop shelves have been heaving with endless options for months. Chances are, most kids have already sampled one or two by the time Easter weekend rolls around. So, how do you possibly choose the best Easter egg for your little one when there's so much to choose from?

The key to picking the perfect Easter treat for youngsters lies in carefully considering their usual taste preferences when it comes to chocolate. Opt for familiar flavours that you know the recipient already loves, and don't be tempted to stray too far from their favourites. Milk chocolate is usually a much safer choice than dark chocolate which kids tend to find too rich, and younger children usually love a creamy white chocolate. Steer clear of nuts, of course, unless you know for certain there are no allergies in the household, and be sure to check for dietary restrictions. There are heaps of vegan and dairy-free Easter eggs to choose from nowaways, so no-one needs to miss out. 

When it comes to choosing the best Easter egg for kids, keep in mind how important packaging is. Children are naturally drawn to playful designs, so an Easter egg box that features their favourite movie or TV character can be even more exciting to a child than the actual chocolate treat inside. For an extra special treat, consider a personalised Easter egg to impress your little chocolate lover. Finally, don't get too hung up on sugar content vs. cocoa content - Easter is not the time to get het up about nutrition!'
