Easter Basket Guide: Mini Treats and Luxury Eggs

Putting together an Easter basket is one of the most joyful parts of the season. It’s playful, thoughtful, and full of tiny surprises; and when it’s done well, it feels like a little celebration in a basket.

The secret to an unforgettable basket? Variety. A mix of shapes, textures, and flavours (plus at least one “ooh, that’s cute!” moment). If you’re shopping for chocolates for Easter that feel special without going overboard, our mini treats are made for it.

Here’s how to build the ultimate Easter basket; starring our chocopops, Easter shapes, and our most popular offering: filled chocolate mini eggs.

Step 1: Choose your basket vibe

Before you start filling, decide the overall feel. This makes your basket look curated (not random).

• Classic and cosy: milk chocolate, caramel, comforting favourites

• Dark and grown-up: richer flavours, darker shells, less sweet

• A bit of everything: a balanced mix so everyone finds a favourite

• Bright and playful: colourful designs, shapes, lollipops - maximum Easter joy

Once you’ve picked the vibe, it’s easy to choose the right treats.

Step 2: Start with “basket fillers” that feel abundant

The best Easter gifts often come in small bites; the kind you can share, tuck into pockets, or sneak one at a time during a movie.

Chocopops (chocolate lollipops with colourful Easter designs)

Chocopops are the instant-smile treat - perfect for topping an Easter basket so it looks full straight away. They’re available on their own, or in bundles so you can match your basket to the recipient’s taste:

• Milk chocolate chocopops bundle

• Dark chocolate chocopops bundle

• White chocolate chocopops bundle

• Mixed bundle with all three flavours

Basket tip: place a chocopop at the top like a little flag, it makes the whole basket look more “wow” before it’s even opened.

Easter shapes (solid chocolate characters)

These are the classic basket treat, but made properly adorable. Our Easter shapes come in bags of solid chocolate featuring characters like chicks, lambs, and Easter bunnies; the kind that make people grin before they even take a bite.

Available in:

• Milk chocolate

• Dark chocolate

Basket tip: scatter a few shapes around the basket so it feels like a mini treasure hunt.

Step 3: Add your star treat: filled chocolate mini eggs

If there’s one thing that turns an Easter basket from “cute” to “can I have another?”, it’s filled mini eggs. They’re our most popular offering for a reason: little bites of luxury, packed with flavour.

Choose from two favourites:

Sea Salt Caramel mini eggs

A creamy milk chocolate shell filled with our award-winning sea salt caramel - sweet, silky, and utterly more-ish. If your recipient loves caramel, these are basically guaranteed to disappear first.

Dark Truffle mini eggs

A 60% dark chocolate shell filled with a rich, plant-based dark chocolate ganache. Grown-up, intense, and perfect for anyone who prefers deeper cocoa notes.

Basket tip: use mini eggs as “edible confetti” - tuck them into gaps so every reach-in reveals a little surprise.

Step 4: Going big? Add a show-stopper luxury Easter egg

If you’re building a bigger basket (or a full-on hamper) and want a true centrepiece, this is the move: one of our six luxury Easter eggs.

Each egg is hand-decorated for a truly premium look; the kind of gift that makes someone stop, smile, and go, “Wow… this is beautiful.”

And the best part? There’s an egg for every kind of chocolate lover:

• The Golden Dark Chocolate Egg for those who like it rich and intense

• The Caramel Chocolate Egg for the caramel devotees

• The Rainbow and The Eggism White Chocolate Eggs for sweet-toothed joy

• The Speckled and The Swirly Milk Chocolate Eggs for classic comfort (and everyone who says, “milk is best”)

So whether you’re shopping for a dark chocolate purist, a caramel lover, or someone who likes their Easter bright, sweet, and creamy - we’ve got a luxury Easter egg they’re sure to love.

Basket tip: make the egg your centrepiece (pop it in the middle or slightly raised at the back), then surround it with mini eggs, shapes and chocopops for a “wow + treasure hunt” combo.

Step 5: Build the basket like a pro (simple presentation hacks)

You don’t need fancy supplies, just a few easy tricks:

• Line the basket with tissue paper or shredded paper for a full, gift-ready look

• Create height: put taller items (like chocopops) at the back, smaller treats at the front

• Stick to a colour story: pick 2–3 colours (pastels, gold, spring brights)

• Add a note tag: one sentence makes it feel personal

  • “A little Easter joy for you.”

  • “For sweet moments all weekend.”
