## The Ultimate Chocolate Egg Showdown: Which Retailer Reigns Supreme This Easter?
As Easter approaches, the quest for the perfect chocolate egg is in full swing across the UK. To help navigate this delicious dilemma, a panel of taste testers at GB News embarked on a mission to sample and evaluate offerings from leading supermarkets, including Tesco, Asda, Marks & Spencer, Aldi, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Lidl, and more. Their verdict? The crown goes to **Morrisons’ The Best Milk & Blonde Chocolate With Honeycomb Easter Egg.**
Scoring an impressive 4.2 out of 5, this egg quickly became the team’s clear favourite. Described as “yummy,” “creamy,” and possessing a “luxurious” quality without being overly rich, it earned near-perfect praise, with one reviewer awarding it a full 5/5.
Here’s how the other contenders stacked up:
* **Sainsbury’s Belgian Milk Chocolate Tiramisu XL Easter Egg** (3/5): While lauded for its crunchy caramelised biscuits and pleasant coffee flavourings, some felt the espresso taste could have been stronger.
* **ASDA Exceptional Caramel, Pretzel & Honeycomb Milk Chocolate Egg** (2.9/5): Reviewers appreciated the egg’s thickness and generous honeycomb filling, noting a satisfying “crunch and chocolate combo.” However, its sweetness proved slightly overpowering for higher rankings.
* **Co-op Irresistible Marbled Millionaires Chocolate Egg** (2.8/5): This visually striking and budget-friendly option was praised for its appearance but lacked a bold flavour profile.
* **Waitrose The Cracking Pistachio Easter Egg** (2.75/5): Despite being widely regarded as one of the best, this white chocolate egg received mixed reviews. Many found it too sweet and lacking in pistachio intensity, especially considering its high price point of £17.
* **Lidl Deluxe Caramelised Biscuit Milk Chocolate Layered Egg** (2/5): A treat for biscuit lovers reminiscent of Lotus Biscoff, this offering was deemed overly “sickly” for those not particularly fond of the caramelised flavour.
* **Tesco Finest Dark Milk Chocolate Hollow Egg** (1.4/5): The dark chocolate proved too bitter for the predominantly milk and white chocolate-loving taste test team, although its elegant appearance with shimmering chocolate specks was acknowledged.
Beyond the chocolate egg competition, GB News also conducted a separate tasting of hot cross buns from M&S, Aldi, Tesco, and other retailers to determine the best options for another Easter tradition.
