Lindt White Chocolate Egg with Lindor truffles (£8) was the top scorer overall The best Easter eggs to buy this spring have been revealed in a blind taste test.
Back for it's 10th year, the team at
Good Housekeeping Institute rated 226 eggs costing between £3 and £50 across a range of 10 categories, including best free-from and best showstopper.
Cracking the top spot overall was Lindt's White Chocolate Egg with Lindor White Chocolate Truffles (£8 for 285g at
ASDA), which also took home first place in the white chocolate category.
First place: Lindt's White Chocolate Egg with Lindor White Chocolate Truffles (£8 for 285g at ASDA), which also took home first place in the white chocolate category
Second place: Aldi's Roth The Egg Box came second place overall, and is just £4.99 for 180g of chocolate. The treat also topped the 'Little Treats' category for bite-sized delights
Tasters praised Lindt for its 'balanced sweetness, subtle caramel flavour and creamy truffles'.
Proving that excellent quality doesn't have to break the bank, second place was given to Aldi's Moser Roth The Egg Box (£4.99 for 180g). The treat also topped the 'Little Treats' category for bite-sized delights. In the Showstopper category, Cocoba's Milk Chocolate Toffee Easter Egg scored 78/100 for its 'deep milky flavour,' but although you get a lot of bang for your buck at its biggest version, it isn't cheap (£49.95 for 2kg).
Last year's overall winner Booja-Booja retains its crown as the best in the FreeFrom category, with its Almond & Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Truffles (£24.99 for 138g) garnering 72/100.
Sainsbury's aced the Kids Character category with its charming Bunny with Carrot offering (£3 for 150g), which charmed tasters with its smooth texture and caramelised flavour, scoring 76/100.
Caroline Bloor, Consumer Affairs Director for Good Housekeeping says:
'Our blind test aims to help consumers narrow their choice when it comes to their all-important sweet treat for Easter, especially with so many options available. In our biggest test yet, with prices from typically from £3 - £50, we know there's something for everyone. From giant eggs with wow factor to boozy and free-from chocolate, we've seen some real innovation this year!'
