We give the verdict on the best boozy Easter EggsHyde News & Pictures Ltd
And if you like chocolate to come with a chaser there are loads of alcohol-themed options.
From Guinness to Champagne flavours, there’s plenty of boozy Eggs to crack into over the Easter weekend.
Laura Stott tried a selection and here she gives her verdict out of five . . .
PROSECCO EGG
Prosecco Easter Egg 250g, £32.50 friars.co.uk
This may be egg-pensive but it’s the one to get you truly tipsyHyde News & Pictures Ltd
YES, it’s egg-pensive, but this is the one to get you truly tipsy, with a proper 20cl tipple inside.
There’s lots for your money too, with tasty mottled milk choc, a dark and white luxury shell, three prosecco-laced truffles, mini eggs, a box of macarons and you get a bottle of Prosecco into the bargain. Hic!

BAILEYS EGG
Baileys Easter Egg 260g, £8 sainsburys.co.uk
You can’t go wrong with this tasty treat and the adult-only truffles certainly deliverHyde News & Pictures Ltd
LOVE Irish cream? Then you can’t go wrong with this tasty treat.
With a generously sized egg, yummy milk chocolate and that classic Bailey’s flavour, this one is great value.
While the casing might not contain booze, the adult-only truffles deliver, with two per cent ABV Bailey’s centres.

GUINNESS EGG
Guinness Easter Egg 215g, £12.99, selfridges.com
This is pricey but would still make for a good giftHyde News & Pictures Ltd
THE Irish stout wouldn’t be my drink of choice so it was no surprise that this wasn’t my favourite egg!
The dark choc shell was infused with the same bitter Barley taste you’d expect in a pint, and include a six per cent measure of the bevvie.
It comes with Guinness shaped chocolates. Pricey but would be a good gift.

CHAMPAGNE EGG
Extra Thick Champagne Egg 395g, £30 hotelchocolat.com
Grab this Champagne-themed delight if you want to spoil somebody absolutely rottenHyde News & Pictures Ltd
A ROLLS-ROYCE of eggs, this is an indulgent, Champagne-themed delight.
Beautiful to look at, with a lavish, uber-thick milk chocolate shell, half choc and half strawberries and cream, it tastes divine.
With truffles oozing bubbly inside, this is one delicious egg.
Time to spoil someone rotten.

BAILEYS STRAWBERRIES & CREAM
Baileys Strawberries and Cream Egg 205g, £8 B&M bmstores.co.uk
There’s plenty to like about this and it isn’t too sicklyHyde News & Pictures Ltd
THIS white choccie egg comes with four heart-shaped, milk choc liqueurs infused with the tipple itself.
The packaging is deceptive, as despite the big box, the egg is quite small, so it’s not the best value for money.
But there’s still plenty to like and it isn’t too sickly.

DAVENPORT’S HEPPLE GIN
Davenport’s Hepple Gin Easter Egg, £14 225g yumbles.com
This is a lovely artisan-style gin-themed egg and is extremely good valueHyde News & Pictures Ltd
A LOVELY, artisan-style, gin-themed egg which, considering its top notch quality, is extremely good value compared to others.
Outstanding chocolate, proper adult booze punch and decadent, but to my disappointment it’s such a shame it arrived broken.
Rating: 2/5
PINK GIN DELUXE MARBLE
Pink Gin Deluxe Marble Egg Lidl, in store, 200g £6.99
This egg is as pretty as a picture but the pink gin flavouring won’t get you drunkHyde News & Pictures Ltd
WITH delicate, raspberry ripple-style swirls set in a white chocolate egg-shaped casing, this is as pretty as a picture.
There’s a good chunky snap when you do tuck in but no actual alcohol in this egg, so it won’t get you drunk, just pink gin flavouring.
A bit more juniper taste would have been nice.
Rating: 3/5
TIRAMISU EGG
Tiramisu Egg, £6 sainsburys.co.uk
You’ll struggle to find the hint of Marsala wine in this particular offeringHyde News & Pictures Ltd
THIS classic Italian pud usually contains a decent hit of Marsala wine and coffee, sponge and chocolate, but you will struggle to find it in this particular offering.
The stylish egg, which is decorated with cocoa nibs, has a nice enough coffee flavour, but it’s bland, and would be improved by a glass of the good stuff on the side.
