I used to love a Malteser bunny or reindeer, and this bunny is a great vegan dupe for that. Its cute rabbit shape makes it perfect for children, while the cookie dough filling is decadent enough to be enjoyable for grownups too.

It’s 70% dark milk chocolate, so has all the intensity and rich flavouring that you expect from 70% chocolate, but isn’t quite as bitter, which is where the ‘dark milk’ comes in.

Not only do Nestle and Mondelez score poorly on our table, they also received our worst rating for their management of workers' rights in its cocoa supply chain. Plus they both get our worst rating for palm oil. We would recommend avoiding their brands: The creamy chocolate egg is generously studded with pieces of honeycomb throughout, and the chocolate itself is very sweet. I loved the hint of sea salt which added extra pops of sweetness throughout and made it even more moreish.
