With Easter just days away, temptation is about to be everywhere. Whether you’re managing your sugar intake, eating plant-based or simply want something with a little more nutritional integrity, these treats deliver on indulgence and good intentions.
Shop shelves are currently filled with multi-packs of chocolate eggs, restaurant have rolled out special set menus and the office kitchen has acquired a suspicious number of homemade baked goods. Easter is here for certain.
For anyone aiming to eat well, or simply not wanting to undo weeks of consistent effort in a single long weekend, it can feel like a veritable minefield.
But treating yourself doesn’t mean draining your progress. There are plenty of ways to mark the occasion that won’t end in a guilt-ridden sugar crash on the sofa — and many are more satisfying than you’d expect.
Cox&Co Cacao’s Aleppo Chilli & Cherry Easter Egg
Vegan doesn’t always mean healthy, but if you love chocolate and want a smarter choice, Cox & Co’s Aleppo Chilli & Cherry Easter Egg is a good place to start. Costing £15 for one egg, it’s made using 60% single-origin Colombian cacao. Aleppo chilli flakes result in a dark chocolate hit with sweetness and spice.

Ombar Blonde Caramelised White Chocolate Easter Egg
Though you might assume white chocolate is out of the question, Ombar’s white chocolate egg is sweetened with natural coconut-based ingredients and chicory root fibre rather than refined sugar, and is entirely vegan, dairy-free and free from palm oil, additives and artificial flavourings. The result? Rich, creamy and notes of caramelised sugar and Madagascan vanilla with a subtle coconut finish — just about as indulgent as you can get without being cloying.
Ombar Coco M!lk Easter Egg
If you want something closer to a classic milk chocolate egg but without the dairy, Ombar’s Coco M!lk is worth knowing about. Made with 55% unroasted Ecuadorian cacao and smooth creamed coconut, the egg comes with an indulgent 42g Coco Vanilla bar — and because the cacao is unroasted rather than heat-processed, more of the natural antioxidants and flavanols are preserved. It’s also organic, Fair Trade certified, gluten-free and vegan throughout.

Melt Sugar Free Milk Chocolate Easter Egg
Anyone looking to cut out the refined sugar will love Melt’s Sugar Free Milk Chocolate Easter Egg. Handcrafted by Melt’s Notting Hill chocolatiers, it’s made from creamy milk chocolate sweetened with maltitol, a natural sweetener that doesn’t raise blood sugar levels in the same way as conventional sugar. As it’s packaged plastic-free and delivered by electric van, your conscience can stay as clean as the ingredients.
Grenade x Cadbury Creme Egg Flavour Soft Core Protein Bar
If anyone’s open to compromise, Grenade’s Creme Egg collab is a good place to meet in the middle of your goals and any chocolate cravings. It’s made from light, fluffy protein dough with a signature yolk-coloured Creme Egg flavoured filling, wrapped in milk chocolate (we did say compromise), with over 13g of protein and just 2g of sugar. It might contain milk chocolate, which gym-goers may try to avoid, but at just 172 calories per bar, it’s the kind of thing you can reach for when the Easter chocolate urge strikes without feeling guilty.

Moo Free Moofreesas Easter Egg
A solid dairy-free option that doesn’t sacrifice on enjoyment, this is made from Moo Free’s sweet dairy-free milk chocolate and packed with crunchy rice balls for added texture. The patterned chocolate shell is satisfyingly thick and crunchable. It’s not the most luxurious chocolate on this list, but for the price it’s hard to fault, and a great option for younger family members with dairy intolerances who still want to enjoy the Easter fun.
