Number one in name and in nature, the Waitrose No.1 Chocolate Croissant Easter Egg gets our top spot for taste and appearance! Shaped just like the pastry, it's much bigger and thicker than we anticipated, living up to our hopes and dreams!
The chunky blonde chocolate melts in your mouth and is reminiscent of a Caramac bar, although it's much creamier in texture. The feuilletine wafer, caramel pieces and chocolate vermicelli add a lovely change in texture. So, all-in-all, it is delicious!

Can't decide which egg to go for? Get the best of both worlds with the Waitrose Cracking Pistachio Easter Egg. When you crack open the golden blonde chocolate shell, you uncover a gloriously green pistachio egg.
It is a little on the expensive side, but the high-quality ingredients make this chocolate worth every penny. We loved the combination of flavours, where the crunchy pistachio nibs contrast with the smooth chocolate... It's great for sharing, although it's so good, you'll want to keep it for yourself!
Flat eggs are all the rage right now - they just seem more sophisticated - and we’re all in for the Waitrose No.1 Milk Chocolate Flat Easter Egg! This one is a showstopper. Made from irresistibly creamy milk chocolate, it’s mixed with crunchy feuilletine wafers and a hint of fleur de sel for that perfect balance of sweet and salty.
The egg is beautifully decorated with a hollow half-mini egg, cocoa nibs and shimmering dark chocolate flakes that catch the light just right - seriously, it’s a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds!

Alongside pistachio, a caramelised biscuit is definitely one of this year's big trends (though, let’s be honest, the hype has never really stopped) - and we’re here for it! This No.1 Blonde Chocolate & Biscuit Flat Easter Egg from Waitrose is the perfect example.
We found this super-sweet concoction absolutely irresistible. It's packed full of caramelised biscuit crumbs (think Biscoff) and topped with plenty of sugar pieces, more biscuits, fleur de sel and half of a hollow chocolate egg. It's definitely on the sweeter side, making it a perfect treat for chocolate lovers, but the salt helps balance it out - though we did find there was a lot of it!
