Whilst Easter is the traditional celebration for families to get together after the long winter months to celebrate spring and new beginnings, Easter 2020 is going to be a very different celebration!

Here at the Chocolate Emporium we’re trying to make Easter as normal as possible and continue to bring you a fabulous range of luxury chocolate Easter eggs and treats.

We are operating safely and following strict hygiene guidelines, which continue to be our top priority, in the run up to Easter. We are fulfilling orders as they come in, however, some deliveries may take a little longer as the postal service deals with unavoidable absences at local mail centres – so please bear with us!

We would like to thank you SO much for your continued custom as we hope to be able to continue bringing you a little bit of chocolate happiness during these unprecedented times!

As families are becoming increasingly isolated, lots of you are looking for things to do to keep everyone sane and entertained. Some of you are trying out different recipes to keep busy during COVID-19 lockdown, so we thought you might like to try a bit of baking using chocolate.

Easter Chocolate Recipes

There’s lots of lovely traditional Easter bakes to make, so we’ve picked out a couple of delicious recipes using chocolate for you to try.

Chocolate Fudge Easter Cakes

We found these delicious little Chocolate Easter Cakes on the BBC Good Food website that we thought would be an ‘eggcellent’ tea-time treat that the kids will love to get stuck into helping you make!

We have a great selection of mini Lindt Easter Eggs that are individually foil-wrapped that you can order online. We’ve also got Ghirardelli cocoa sachets and a fabulous range of chocolate bars to complete the ingredients list. Click the link for the recipe – have fun!  Get Recipe

Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns

This one is a bit more traditional!

Why not try having a go at making everyone’s favourite - hot cross buns. Lots of you are trying your hand at making bread as the supermarkets find it hard to keep up with demand. So if you’ve managed to find some flour and dried yeast, these traditional buns are spicy and delicious with added chocolate chips to make them even more of a treat! We’re sticking with the BBC Good Food Guide for this recipe; you’ll find the full recipe and method by clicking the link - get recipe
