We have only included two supermarket brands on the score table above - Co-op and Tesco - because these are the only two that have all the cocoa that they use in their own brand Easter eggs certified. Co-op chocolate is Fairtrade certified and Tesco chcolate is Rainforest Alliance. I adore honeycomb, so couldn’t wait to try Butterm!lk’s vegan milk chocolate egg with crunchy honeycomb flakes. It even comes with a generously-sized Honeycomb Blast bar that is super chunky – far bigger than a certain non-vegan chocolate bar! Made from 58% FairTrade cocoa encased in a crunchy sugar shell, this delicious treat is great for people of all ages. pebble’s verdict:

This Easter, the brand has transformed its popular Maldon salt chocolate bar into a delectable handmade dark chocolate Easter egg. It couldn’t be easier - so there’s no need for anyone to open Easter eggs covered in foil, single-use plastic and unsustainable cardboard.Montezuma's Organic 74% Dark Chocolate Eco Easter Egg Review Montezuma's Organic 74% Dark Chocolate Eco Easter Egg Using renewable energy in their kitchen and utilising an electric delivery van, Melt actively reduce their carbon footprint. pebble’s verdict: Cocoa farmers are almost all extremely poor. Cocoa can only be grown in tropical countries, and it is almost entirely grown by smallholders. The bulk of production is in West Africa, with Ivory Coast – the biggest exporter – producing 43% of the world’s supply. Ghana is in second place, and produces about 20%.

The Like No Udder egg is as close to milk chocolate as possible without ever going near a cow! It is as smooth and creamy and as high in cocoa as the brand’s regular milk chocolate but without the dairy. The result is an organic bar with a milk chocolate taste, ideal for vegans. The company now has seven shops and is sold nationally and internationally through a network of high-end retailers and distributors. Instead, we burst onto the scene with our Like No Udder range – our vegan milk chocolate without milk! H!P’s oat milk-based milk chocolate contains 41% cocoa so is richly flavoured and superbly smooth. The egg itself is generously studded throughout with pieces of pretzel that give it a wonderful crunchy texture. The addition of sea salt accentuates the flavours of the chocolate, enhancing the cocoa flavour beautifully. There are 5 decadent truffle flavours available: Hazelnut Crunch, Fine De Champagne, Chocolate Orange, Honeycomb Caramel, and Chocolate Salted Caramel (this is the flavour that we tried).

How dark is too dark? Could you stomach 100% dark chocolate? Montezuma's is betting on it, adding a 100% dark chocolate Easter egg to this year's range. Whilst many dark chocolate Easter eggs will be vegan, the following brands are made by vegan companies:

Organic cocoa mass, organic cane sugar, organic cocoa butter, organic vanilla extract. Cocoa solids: 74% minimum. All their products are palm oil free, ethically sourced, vegan and made of natural ingredients that are sustainably sourced. Commenting on the new products, Helen Pattinson, Montezuma’s co-founder said: “Easter is always such a lovely celebration especially for those of us in the chocolate world! We are very pleased with this year’s range which offers so many delicious and fun options and suits all of our customers – whether they are choosing a milk, white or dark treat or something more suited to a lifestyle choice or special diet. Our new giant bunnies look and taste amazing and I’m sure will be enjoyed by many of our customers – young and old!” It’s filled to the brim with an array of vegan chocolates made from irresistibly creamy nut milk. From truffles to pralines, these hidden gems add an extra layer of enticement.The chocolate has a fantastic snap, a gorgeous gloss to the shell, and notes of vanilla in the tasting. But the proof is in the pudding, and my pair of eggs survived the cross-country Royal Mail journey unscathed, looking just as good as they did when they popped out of the factory.
