Nestlé Medium Easter Eggs Collection (122g-140g)

Product Information

All categories play a different role at different stages during the Easter season. Larger stores areencouraged to focus more on Easter Eggs with more planned missions, while smaller stores can dial up more of the sharing and self-treat products, as their shoppers tend to be a bit more impulsive.” Nestlé Confectionery UK manufactures some of Nestlé’s most popular and iconic confectionery brands including KIT KAT (the UK’s No 1 selling biscuit), QUALITY STREET, AERO, SMARTIES and ROWNTREE’S.

If you're going out of your way to buy a Galaxy Easter Egg, personally I think it's only justified that you expect the chocolate egg to be made from Galaxy, not the same plain, underwhelming chocolate you get in all other Mars Inc Easter eggs. I was really disappointed because I had high hopes for this egg, and then I realised I'd bought an Easter Egg pretty much identical to the last, give or take the chocolate that comes with it. Ahead of Easter Sunday (April 9, 2023) I've got a long list of gluten free, coeliac-safe Easter eggs in UK supermarkets right now. Also new from KitKat this spring is the KitKat Chunky Lotus Biscoff Giant Egg (274.5g), which is set to become one of the must-have gifts for Easter 2022! This appetising egg offers KitKat fans their first chance to try the hotly anticipated KitKat Chunky Lotus Biscoff, which will be coming to the UK market later this year. The newest Chunky flavour features the brand's trademark crispy wafer topped with a delicious Lotus Biscoff filling, all covered with smooth milk chocolate. The Giant Egg compromises a milk chocolate shell egg alongside three full-size KitKat Chunky Lotus Biscoff (41.5g) bars. I've swept the supermarket shelves of Asda, Co-Op, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose to find all the Easter eggs which are gluten free.The media attention on child labour has led to a major rise in the proportion of cocoa that is certified by a third-party standard, from 2% a decade ago to about a quarter today. It is still growing fast as companies push towards their 2020 targets. UTZ is by far the most popular, followed by Rainforest Alliance, and then Fairtrade.There is also a small amount that is certified organic. Chocolate itself does not generally contain palm oil. However, fillings such as biscuit commonly do, so we rated all of the companies on their palm oil policies.

All of the Easter Eggs in this section of guide, at the time of writing, are gluten free and safe for people with coeliac disease. The following brands get our best rating for palm oil for either being palm-oil free or using sustainable palm oil: Important note: In 2022 the Mini Eggs Bar was gluten free, but now (2023) it has a 'may contain' warning and is NOT suitable for people with coeliac disease) Cadbury's Creme Egg Easter Egg is a staple, and it's clear to see why (Image: Corey Bedford/LeicestershireLive)So it's around a similar value to the Cadbury egg, if not on sale, and offers another nice option if you don't want a Cadbury Easter Egg.

You may find one size Easter egg from a brand is gluten free, while a different size has a 'may contain' warning.

Mars Wrigley offers a Maltesers Bunny, which is the UK’s most successful chocolate product in the novelty shapes category, says Padt. “We feel this product is the signpost of the season, officially signalling consumers that Easter is coming. Last year, Maltesers Bunny value sales grew by an impressive 53.6%, driven by sales of the classics as well as new products in the category. Easter is around the corner and Nestlé’s factories in Halifax and Fawdon have been in full swing since September making millions of chocolate and mini eggs. Up first is the Cadbury Creme Egg, an Easter staple and I thought was the best way to start the review. The box comes with a large Cadbury chocolate egg and two individual creme eggs. Overall, the weight comes to 233g - a 153g chocolate egg and two 40g creme eggs.Maltesers provide a good offering, but the egg was a bit underwhelming (Image: Corey Bedford/LeicestershireLive) Meg Miller, Brand Manager for KitKat said: "Our new KitKat Bites are truly mouth-watering morsels, boasting a rich filling and crispy wafer pieces encased in a milk chocolate shell. Perfect for a little evening indulgence, such as a family film night or after dinner treat, KitKat Bites deliver an intense, chocolatey hit with every mouthful. This is a grown-up twist on our much-loved brand, and we are so excited to bring KitKat Bites to the market. We can't wait for people to try them!" Cadbury is the classic staple when it comes to Easter Eggs. However, Mars and Nestlé also put out plenty of options for families to consider.
