We were well and truly 'wowed' by the array of vegan Easter eggs this year, here are the best vegan Easter eggs for 2024 - tried and tested.
Over the last few years there has been an explosion in interest in vegan diets, and now (finally) there is a good selection of plant-based chocolate eggs available for Easter. But with so many options (and still quite a few of questionable quality) it can be tricky to choose.
This year this category attracted over 50 entries, all of which our judges tasted to find the best vegan Easter eggs for 2024. We have included a range of prices and styles to suit different tastes and you can guarantee all the eggs below meet our seal of approval and would be a great choice. Our judging panel is comprised of GoodtoKnow's Food Team: Food Director Jen Bedloe, Food Editor Jess Meyer, Deputy Food Editor Rose Fooks, Food Writer Amanda James, and Junior Food Writer Georgia Sparks.
Despite the vegan egg category being somewhat of a misnomer, all of the eggs below are suitable for those who follow a plant-based diet and most are suitable for people with egg or dairy allergies too. Many dark chocolate eggs don’t contain dairy, however, we have only considered eggs here that state on the packaging that they are suitable for vegans. However, some (especially those from smaller producers) may contain traces of egg and dairy products, so please double-check the packaging if you are looking to find an Easter egg for someone with a severe allergy.

How did we test the best vegan Easter eggs?
- Taste and texture: The most important factor is the taste and texture of the chocolate, however, when it comes to Easter eggs the look and packaging are integral to the product, so we also took this into account as well.
- Packaging: It’s what’s inside that counts, but as the likelihood is that you would be buying this egg to give as a gift we have also considered the design of the packaging and awarded extra marks for the most attractive. None of the winning eggs come in plastic packaging, and the majority are packaged in cardboard.
- Vegan: We have only considered eggs in this category that state on the packaging that they are suitable for vegans.
