For the best chocolate to tuck into on April 21, read on for our ultimate guide to the best easter eggs of 2019.

1. Lindt Eggs and Easter Bunnies

   

   It would never quiet be easter in the UK without a Lindt golden bunny or two.

   Due to popular demand Lindt have expanded their bunny collection and have added new flavours including white chocolate, hazelnut, limited edition floral bunnies and even personalised chocolate rabbits, while the huge 1kg gold bunny is always a sure fire hit.

   This year Lindt have launched the new Lindor Mint Milk Egg a deliciously smooth chocolate with a selection of Lindor truffles - ideal for mint lovers - and the Lindor Nocciolatte Egg accompanied with truffles filled with whole hazelnuts. Delicious.

2. Sainsbury's Easter Eggs and Chocolate

   

   Sainsbury's have lots of deals on Easter eggs for 2019.

   Among our favourites are Cocoa et Co. Single Origin Dark Chocolate Celestial Egg, £9, and the Cocoa et Co. XL Belgian Milk Chocolate Splatter Egg, £14.

   But for something a little bit different this year, why not put down the eggs and try some luxury bars of chocolate filled with a variety of nuts and fruit?

   Nestle's 'Les Reclettes de l’Atelier' range (roughly translated as 'recipes of the artisan’s shop') are available in a variety of flavours including Orange Zest & Cacao Nibs, Salted Caramel and Cranberries and Almonds.

   New to Easter 2019 is Nestle's limited edition Ruby Chocolate with Raspberries chocolate bar, available to buy exclusively in store.

   Made with real pieces of raspberry and finished in a beautiful pink chocolate derived from ruby coca beans, like the rest of L'Atelier range the latest addition has no colouring or preservatives - just pure luxurious chocolate.
