The best vegan Easter chocolate, gifts, and hampers

Let this Easter be filled with cacao-rich delights that everyone can indulge in. We have vegan* Easter chocolate to make your spring celebrations sensational.

Easter is just around the corner, and if you’re anything like us, you’re eagerly awaiting the chance to indulge in all things chocolate. There’s no better time to start your search for the best Easter eggs — for loved ones or yourself. 

If you have plant-based pals on your gift list or follow a vegan lifestyle yourself, Easter has traditionally been a bit lacklustre on the chocolate front. But not with our unbelievably vegan* Easter chocolate collection…

Irresistible Easter chocolate — but make it vegan

At Hotel Chocolat, we firmly believe that those following a vegan diet shouldn’t have to miss out on Easter or consume second-rate chocolate. Our collection of sumptuous dark and Nutmilk chocolate is filled with vegan Easter ideas. They ensure everyone can enjoy cacao-rich treats that feel every bit as decadent, smooth, and satisfying as their classic counterparts.

From opulent Easter eggs with a satisfyingly thick snap to charmingly crafted bunnies and indulgent hampers brimming with treats, our selection proves that plant-based can still be pure luxury. Why should anyone have to compromise on quality, taste, or the joy of cracking into a truly exquisite chocolate egg?

So, with that being said, here’s our guide to the best vegan* Easter eggs and gifts in the UK.

*Please note: We believe our dark and Nutmilk chocolate is suitable for vegans. However, as it‘s made in the same environment as our milk chocolate, we cannot guarantee it is free from milk.

The best vegan Easter eggs in the UK

The Easter egg is undoubtedly the staple gift of the Easter period. And although you may not find your plant-based friend enjoying eggs daily, this doesn’t mean they have to miss out on this traditional Easter chocolate treat.

Available in an ever-increasing number of shapes, sizes and flavours, vegan Easter eggs are becoming more popular and luxurious. Here are a few of the best vegan Easter eggs on offer:

Unbelievably Vegan* Nibbly Egg

Irresistible smoothness meets satisfying crunch in our Unbelievably Vegan* Nibbly Egg. We’re rather proud of our staggeringly creamy Nutmilk recipe. Using milled hazelnuts in place of milk, this chocolate grade offers a melt-in-the-mouth texture. It beautifully tempers the mellowness of traditional milk chocolate with the deeper notes of cacao. 

Combine that with granola nibbles and opulent praline, and you’ve got something very special on your hands: The Unbelievably Vegan* Nibbly Egg. Tuck into the chunky, crunch-filled Nutmilk shell of the large Easter egg or savour the six Gianduja Praline Tiddly Eggs, one by one. 

Saint Lucia Dark Nibbly Egg

If you prefer your vegan Easter chocolate on the darker side, let our Saint Lucia Dark Nibbly Egg tantalise your taste buds. This 70% dark chocolate egg is textured with cacao nibs for extra crunch and accompanied by six Gianduja Praline Tiddly Eggs, each offering a smooth blend of rich, nutty praline and deep, velvety chocolate. 

70% Dark Chocolate Easter Egg

Another winner for those who appreciate bold and nuanced cacao notes, our 70% Dark Chocolate Easter Egg consists of a smooth, crisp shell with an astonishing melt. Our chocolate sculptress broke the mould with this design, too. Enjoy the contrasting ‘splat’, made from mellow cacao butter — and no artificial colours or flavours.

Unbelievably Vegan* Extra Thick Easter Egg

Take the opulence up a notch with our Unbelievably Vegan* Extra Thick Easter Egg. Thick, satisfyingly snappable, and made with our signature Nutmilk, this vegan* Easter egg delivers all the creamy richness you crave without compromise.

Hidden within its decadent shell lies a curated selection of our finest vegan* chocolates, each one designed to delight. There are 10 treasures to enjoy in six flavour combinations.

Let the Raspberry Nutmilk bunny surprise your palate with its bright, fruity zing, while our Nutmilk Gianduja Tiddly Egg offers a velvety-smooth experience. And for those who love a hint of sweet-meets-savoury, the Salted Caramel and Nutmilk-filled chocolate offers an irresistible balance of mellow caramel and cacao depth.

Unbelievably Vegan* Ostrich Easter Egg

Crafted for those who believe Easter should be a time of unapologetic indulgence, our Unbelievable Vegan* Ostrich Easter Egg is a showstopper in every sense. Inspired by the sheer grandeur of an ostrich egg, this oversized creation is a true centrepiece, perfect for those who love their Easter treats on a lavish scale.

The egg is a chocolate feast in itself, made from our signature Nutmilk and filled with cookies and crushed cornflakes. The gargantuan vegan Easter egg also hides 20 truffles, caramels, pralines, and filled chocolates — each one promising a moment of pure bliss. 

From a Crunchy Peanut Butter & Nutmilk Buche to Orange Gianduja Bombes, Peanut Butter Jelly Nutmilk, and Ginger & Hazelnut chocolate, there’s a real variety of flavours and textures to explore. Which will you go for first? 

Vegan Easter gifts beyond the egg

To us, Easter indulgence is about more than the classic chocolate egg — though, of course, we appreciate these immensely. However, there’s a whole world of plant-based delights waiting to be unwrapped. 

From charming chocolate bunnies to Easter gift boxes and oh-so-sumptuous drinking chocolate, we’ve hatched a few alternative vegan Easter ideas that are great for scavenger hunts, party favours, or springtime nibbles.

Vegan City Bunnies 

One popular alternative to the classic Easter egg is, of course, the Easter bunny. And when decorated with endearing ears and chocolate whiskers, a characterful bunny-shaped treat certainly spreads some springtime happiness.

Our dapper chocolate bunnies are available in three delightful vegan-friendly* forms:

• Dark Chocolate City Bunnies: These 16 solid dark chocolate bunnies are dressed to impress with their 70% cacao bow ties. The ideal petite treats to savour over the Easter weekend.
  
• Unbelievably Vegan* Chocolate City Bunnies: If you prefer a slightly more mellow flavour profile that still offers the complex notes of cacao, try our solid Nutmilk bunnies.
  
• Unbelievably Vegan* Raspberry Bunny Selector: These characters are brimming with vibrant raspberry-dark filling that balances perfectly with the smooth Nutmilk shell. Their bold bow ties add a pop of colour — created with natural ingredients only.

Dark Chocolate Big City Bunny

Looking for a vegan chocolate Easter gift that’s both charming and undeniably indulgent? Our Dark Chocolate Big City Bunny is crafted from smooth, 70% dark chocolate for a rich, deep, yet balanced profile.

Vegan* Chocolate Rabbert Hollow with Tiddly Pot

If you’re in search of vegan Easter chocolate for children that focuses on more cacao, less sugar, we’ve got you covered.  

The ideal plant-based treat for little chocolate lovers (or the young at heart), adorable Vegan* Chocolate Rabbert is made from creamy Nutmilk chocolate. The adorable bunny brings a pot of bite-sized Tiddly chocolates, too — a top option for nibbling, sharing, or Easter egg hunts.

Hot chocolate 

Are you looking for something a little less traditional? Spring may be on the horizon, but those crisp evenings still call for something warming. Our vegan hot chocolate is the ideal way to indulge. 

Who says Easter chocolate needs to be nibbled? Gift the gift of velvety-smooth drinking chocolate, and encourage your loved one to sip and savour our Hazelnut Praline, fiery Ginger, and refreshing Mint Hot Chocolate.  

Why not pair your vegan Easter gift with  The Velvetiser™ for a truly generous show of affection? This revolutionary at-home hot chocolate system transforms every cup into a barista-grade masterpiece. Plus, your loved one can enjoy iced chocolate as the warmer spring days approach.

Tipples 

While the gift of chocolate is the most popular choice over the Easter period, it certainly isn’t the only one. If your vegan friend already has plenty of chocolate to tuck into, a luxury tipple is a great way to celebrate this Easter.

If you’ll be toasting over an Easter lunch, then our crisp and Classic Prosecco is the perfect choice for you. Alternatively, why not whip up some celebratory cocktails? Our Cacao Gin makes the perfect base. Pair with tonic for a simple yet effective refreshment, or explore our gin cocktail ideas for some inspiration.

Personalised vegan Easter hampers

Feeling a little spoiled for choice? Curate a homemade Easter hamper, and you can mix and match vegan treats to your heart’s content. Plus, a hamper is a great way to add a personal touch. 

Here, the creative license is really in your hands. Think about the flavours and cacao percentages your recipient likes best. For variety, we recommend combining an Easter egg with a handful of smaller chocolate nibbles.
