A guide to ethical Easter treats and gifts

Easter is always a time for family get togethers, soaking up the longer spring days and chocolate. Lots of chocolate. 

Whether you’re hosting an epic Easter Sunday roast or will simply be cramming in as much chocolate eating with loved ones as possible – we have lots of ethical Easter chocolate, treats and gifts to help elevate this year’s plans. 

As ever, a memorable occasion means one that’s full of positive impact for us. We’re sure you’ll love the give-back nature of these Easter gifts and treats as much as we do.

Ethical Easter eggs

Milk Egg with Caramel Crunch by Harry Specters

For fans of sweet and salty flavours, gift them the Red & Gold Egg by Harry Specters. They’ll be treated to pieces of salted caramel crunch with every bite, if they can bear cracking open the hand-decorated egg. It’s a thing of beauty, and makes a difference by creating employment opportunities for autistic young adults over at Harry Specters. The people on their programme get involved in all parts of the biz, from making and packaging products to design and photography. 

The Easter Egg Eco Bundle

The ultimate Easter gift for your fair trade fanatic, green-minded family and friends. They’ll be delighted to discover Easter specials from brands like Tony’s Chocolonely, who campaign for an end to slavery in the chocolate industry, and tree-planting chocolatiers Love Cocoa. Also available in Vegan Easter Egg version.

Easter treats with a twist

Miss Macaroon Personalised Easter Bunny Macaron Eggs Gift Box

For a change from the usual Easter chocolate, how about some delectable French macaroons? Add a playful personal touch to these by turning a photo of your giftee into a macaroon bunny. The feel-good factor also comes from knowing each box supports Miss Macaroon’s employment programme for disadvantaged young people.

Easter Chocolate Lollipops by Harry Specters

Fun Easter patterns make these lollipops an egg-tra special seasonal treat, yet another example of Harry Specters’ delicious do-good chocolates.

Hot Stuff Bundle by Refuge Chocolate

Whip up some snazzy hot chocolates this Easter. Refuge Chocolate’s Hot Stuff Bundle has all you need, including marshmallows and a “mallow melter” for a wondrously decadent and gooey drinking experience. More than just delivering some Easter fun, this kit (and all Refuge Chocolate products) are packed with purpose, raising money for anti-human trafficking charity Flourish NI.

Ethical Easter gifts for the family

The Easter Egg Hunt Hamper

Ready to take your Easter egg hunt up a notch? This hamper has a delectable selection of mini eggs for hiding and bigger eggs for prizes, all with heaps of positive impact along with flavour. That’s thanks to brands like Divine, whose ethical practices set them apart from so much of the chocolate world.

Milk Chocolate Easter Bunnies by Harry Specters

Chocolate bunnies: an Easter essential, in our opinion. More cute treats that make a difference by creating employment opportunities for autistic young adults over at Harry Specters.
