This Easter chocolate aisle offers more variety than ever, with many supermarkets rolling out their own filled eggs — perfect for Easter hunts or simply indulging in a sweet treat.
Curious how these compare to the classic Cadbury Creme Eggs, I picked up selections from Aldi, M&S, Lidl, Sainsbury’s, and Morrisons. My son eagerly joined as a taste tester, making judging an easy and fun task.
The findings were quite surprising, particularly when it came to value for money. Here’s what we discovered:

Cadbury Creme Eggs
Priced at £2.50 for 200g (that’s £1.25 per 100g) from Asda, this iconic treat includes five eggs. The creamy Cadbury chocolate shell combined with the sweet, sticky fondant filling hits just the right note. The adorable white-and-yellow design mimics a real egg yolk and whites, making it a feast for both eyes and taste buds. Rated a perfect 5 out of 5 stars by us.
Morrisons Belgian Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs
At £4 for a 150g bag (£2.66 per 100g), these include 12 eggs—not individually wrapped, so less ideal for hunts. They looked a bit odd with two shades of brown, but the peanut butter filling was a winner. If you love Reese’s Minis, these are similar in taste but bigger and richer. Considering price and packaging, we rate these 3 out of 5 stars.
Aldi Luxury Milk Chocolate Truffle Filled Eggs
Costing £2.49 for 150g (£1.66 per 100g), the nine eggs come wrapped in elegant purple foil. The truffle flavor is lush and the eggs are larger than many others. However, the filling only lines the sides of the shell, leaving a hollow center, which was a letdown. We gave these 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Sainsbury’s Cookies & Cream Mini Eggs
For £3.25 per 150g (£2.16 per 100g), eleven eggs wrapped in shiny blue foil make great finds for egg hunts. Marked with a nut-like pattern, these eggs are filled generously with creamy vanilla and whole cookie pieces, reminiscent of Oreos. There’s no hollow gap inside, just satisfying flavor. A solid 5 out of 5 stars.
M&S Milk Chocolate Pistachio Creme Filled Eggs
At £3 for 120g (£2.50 per 100g), eleven eggs wrapped attractively in gold with green stripes are hunt-friendly and eye-catching. While I’m not a fan of some Dubai chocolates, the pistachio flavor here reminded me of pistachio ice cream and was quite enjoyable. We rated this 4 out of 5 stars.
Lidl Hazelnut Praline Filled Eggs
Priced at £2.49 for 150g (£1.66 per 100g), eight large eggs come in festive green wrappers with the Favorina logo. The shell sports a geometric motif, and the filling tastes like rich Nutella. However, there’s a hollow gap inside, and the hazelnut praline was a bit overpowering and overly sweet in this format. For us, only 2 out of 5 stars.
These filled Easter eggs offered a surprising variety of flavors and quality. Many seemed inspired by well-known brands like Oreo and Reese’s, proving that supermarkets can hold their own in the chocolate game.
Ultimately, Cadbury Creme Eggs remain the best buy, not only for taste but also for price per gram. Sainsbury’s Cookies & Cream Mini Eggs were our second favorite, though they come at a premium.
Whatever your choice, there’s a deliciously sweet option for every budget and taste this Easter.
