In 2021, I found myself in sudden need of a large Easter egg. The supermarket shelves were full of the usual selection of small, medium and large eggs, but I sought something bigger. Which got me thinking. How large is large? What's the biggest Easter egg I can order online for delivery to my door?
Finding giant Easter eggs isn't a problem. Finding a chocolatier that's confident enough to send it through the postal network is the tricky part. So, I trawled through my list of hundreds of British chocolate makers, chocolatiers and chocolate shops to find those that do exactly what I needed.
So, here's my list of giant Easter eggs. What do I class as 'giant'? Well, the largest egg I can find in ASDA weighs in at around 550g. So, my list contains anything I can find that's half a kilogram or more in weight - perfect for the ultimate chocoholic, an incredibly lucky child, or to share with friends and family.
As you might expect, I've ordered this list by weight, with the heaviest egg first.

Cocoba Giant Milk Chocolate Easter Egg
RRP: £49.95 | 2kg | Cocoba | Shop now
Fancy wrapping your lips around this 2KG Belgian milk chocolate Easter egg? It's a sizeable beast and comes well rated too. It's hand-finished with drizzles of milk and white chocolate to add a little extra flair. It's big enough to share, but will you be kind enough to do this, or will you gobble it up yourself? (I realise this might be a daft question!).

Hotel Chocolat Classic Ostrich Easter Egg
RRP: £86.00 | 1.04kg | Hotel Chocolat | Shop now
Just look at it! It would feed my chocolate habit for almost an entire day! Made to the standard that all mainstream Easter eggs should be (very big and extra thick), it's certainly a looker. Half of the egg is made with 40% milk chocolate mixed with cookies and puffed rice, while the other half blends crispy feuilletine with 50% milk chocolate. Inside the reusable tin you'll also find 20 chocolate bonbons from the range (because a massive Easter egg wasn't enough…).
York Cocoa House Extra Large Dark Chocolate Egg
RRP: £59.50 | 1000g | York Cocoa House / York Cocoa Works | Shop now
From one of Britain's finest bean-to-bar chocolate makers comes this exquisite Easter egg, crafted from 75% Dominican Republic dark chocolate. Boasting a thick shell, this Easter egg is one for dark chocolate lovers and chocolate purists alike. It's wrapped in a copper-coloured foil and packaged inside a craft box tied with raffia ribbon, making it a wonderful gift item (should you bear to part with it). If dark chocolate isn't your thing, York Cocoa House also offers another 1KG egg, made with 45% Ugandan milk chocolate (wrapped in gold-coloured foil).
This was available to purchase when I first produced my guide. When I last looked, it was not in stock. Hopefully, it will return soon.
Lindt Giant Gold Bunny Chocolate Figurine
RRP: £39.99 | 1000g | Lindt | Shop now°
First off, I admit this stretches the definition of what an Easter Egg is. But the Lindt Gold Bunny is an Easter institution, and this large-scale version weighs in at one kilogram, making it one very big bunny.
If you're looking for a classically-shaped giant Easter egg then scroll up and down. But if you're a Lindtaholic, this gold-foiled delight will be right up your street. Here, the Lindt Master Chocolatier has supersized the milk chocolate bunny to this whopper. It shares the same characteristics as its smaller siblings - include the red ribbon and bell - just in a bigger size.

Venchi Gran Gourmet Dark Chocolate Piedmont Hazelnut Egg
RRP: £100.00 | 1000g | Venchi 1878 | Shop now
If there's two things Venchi knows about, it's chocolate and hazelnuts (as you can see from my Venchi review when I visited London a while back). This Easter egg combines the two. The thick shell is cast in dark chocolate and then loads of whole Piedmont hazelnuts line the inside. The rich cocoa notes from the dark chocolate contrast with the crunch of the roasted hazelnuts. If, like me, you love gianduja, you'll love this. If the 56% dark chocolate puts you off, there's a 31.8% milk chocolate version available too.
This was available to purchase when I first produced my guide. When I last looked, it was not in stock. Hopefully, it will return soon.
