However, it is often difficult knowing what Easter eggs are available and which one you want yourself or which one you should buy for your friends and family – that is why I have compiled this list of 20 of the most popular Easter eggs on offer this year, with new and old favourites. I have placed them in order from cheapest to most expensive, for a variety depending what your budget is.
