Overview
- The paired taste tests, published Wednesday, found only three standouts in a nine-item shop of M&S’s 2026 Easter chocolates.
- Top picks were the £1 Spencer bear rated 10/10, the orange popping-candy milk chocolate eggs at £3 rated 9/10, and the orange speckled eggs at £1.75 rated 9/10.
- Lower scores flagged weak value, with the Big Bubbly Bunny at £1.75 rated 4/10 for bland flavour and the £1 blonde caramel egg rated 3/10 for overpowering sweetness.
- Prices mostly sat between £1 and £1.75, with the £3 orange popping eggs as the priciest option, framing the reviews as a value check for Easter baskets.
- The outlets noted M&S’s knack for viral seasonal treats and compared flavours to Cadbury and Quality Street, while stressing these are single-reviewer tastings rather than broad consumer tests.
