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.
