Easter Chocolate Prices Soar as Cocoa Costs Double

Lindt's mini Gold Bunny emerges as the UK's most expensive Easter treat by weight amid rising cocoa prices.

  • Lindt's mini Gold Bunny, the smallest in its range, is identified as the UK's most expensive Easter chocolate by weight, costing up to £7.50 per 100g in supermarkets.
  • High cocoa prices, which have nearly doubled in the past year, are driving up the cost of Easter chocolates, affecting both luxury and supermarket brands.
  • Lindt has been forced to increase prices due to soaring cocoa costs, despite efforts to maintain prices through manufacturing efficiencies and a forward-looking purchasing strategy.
  • Shoppers are advised to consider alternatives as Easter chocolate prices surge, with some luxury eggs costing as much as £85.
  • Despite the price hikes, some Easter eggs, like those from Selfridges and the Connaught Patisserie, offer unique luxury options for those willing to splurge.
