5 Best Vegan Easter Eggs For 2023
These are the ones to add to your basket, right now
Whether you took part in Veganuary or operate more of a flexitarian approach, we’ve rounded up the best vegan Easter eggs for 2023.
We’ve found creamy oat milk creations, which give classic Cadbury a run for its money, as well as indulgent salted caramel truffles and sea salt-infused eggs. For any chocolate purists, there are plenty of decadent dark cacao options too.
Where can I buy vegan Easter eggs?
Besides plant-based websites, these days the best vegan Easter eggs can also be found at luxury department stores like Harvey Nichols and Selfridges. What's more, all of the eggs featured in this round-up can be bought online and sent directly to your loved ones’ doors (or yours... no judgement here).
How we test vegan Easter eggs
We tasked our panel of expert taste testers to crack into a range of vegan-friendly Easter eggs from the UK’s leading chocolatiers — tough job, but someone’s got to do it.
Each was judged on its design, aroma and taste, with additional points scored for sustainable packaging and ethically sourced ingredients.
These are our top five that are still available for Easter 2023...
From the outside, Venchi’s sleek dark chocolate egg looks unassuming. However, inside the shell is studded with a decadent coating of whole roasted Italian hazelnuts — and we couldn’t put it down. The contrast in textures is a delight, only made better with a glass of red wine on the side.
Booja Booja Chocolate Salted Caramel Truffles Large Gift Egg
The contents might not last long, but this beautifully decorated keepsake box is perfect for stashing your trinkets or gifting this Easter.
Our testers loved the ‘addictive’ cocoa-dusted dark chocolate ganache truffles, which are spiked with crunchy sea salt and caramel pieces for a truly indulgent bite.
You’ll feel highbrow tucking into this dark chocolate geometric egg, which is inspired by the Tate Modern. It has been infused with refreshing Tasmanian mint oil (the green dots are a giveaway), and despite being made with 70% cacao, cocoa butter keeps it smooth and creamy.
H!P Salted Caramel Oat M!lk Chocolate Easter Egg
From the team behind Love Cocoa (led by James Cadbury, the great-great-great grandson of the Mr Cadbury), H!P is on a mission to reinvent dairy-free chocolate with creamy oat milk — great news for those who aren’t into the bitterness of dark.
Our testers loved the smooth, caramel-laced flavour of this chocolate, while the salted caramel pieces added satisfying crunch.
Wrapped in gold foil, this thick-shelled egg certainly looks the part — but how did it taste? Our testers enjoyed the nutty aroma, convincing snap and melt-in-the-mouth texture, though flavour-wise, it’s best suited to those who prefer their chocolate on the bittersweet side.
