Easter is just around the corner, which means we now have the perfect excuse to stock up our supermarket trollies with packets of delicious chocolate eggs, and give our loved ones a tasty reminder of how much we care about them.
But if you’ve got a large family or just want to spread the Easter spirit far and wide this year, the cost of buying lots of sweet treats can start to add up.

There are loads of budget-friendly chocolate gifts out there this Easter, that are so perfect you might just want to steal them for yourself!
We’ve scoffed a whole lot of Easter eggs – in the name of research, of course! – to bring you this bargain guide rounding up some of the best affordable Easter chocolates available at your local supermarket.
