The best Easter Eggs for your money

  • April 26, 2020
  • SafeHomeDIY

With the financial uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic fresh in shoppers’ minds, many will be doing their best to save pennies on Easter eggs this weekend.

But while some may seem like a bargain, they could be deceptively expensive and worse value for money per 100g.

Research from money saving site VoucherCodes.co.uk cross-referenced the prices of nine of the best-selling chocolate eggs and how much they cost at Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons, to see which is the most chocolate for your buck.

While you can bag a bargain with a Cadbury Mini Egg Easter egg, which is just 87p per 100g, the Smarties egg is more than double the price at £1.91 per 100g.

WHICH EASTER EGGS ARE MOST CALORIFIC? 

We all love to indulge over Easter, but if you’re watching your waistline, some options are better than others.

Online marketplace OnBuy.com looked at medium-sized eggs from a wide range of popular brands in order to identity which ones were the most calorific, and which carried less guilt.

They looked at bundles which weighed between 115g and 213g and included one egg and one extra treat. 

Online marketplace onbuy.com looked into how much calories the most popular Easter egg bundles contained, with the Ferero Rocher egg leading the way with a staggering 1,320 calories (pictured: graphic of the study provided by onbuy)

They found that the worst offender was the Ferrero Rocher medium egg, which counted 1,320 calories – over half the recommended daily intake for men and women.

The KitKat Chunky Easter bundle, which counts a chocolate egg and two KitKat chunky bars, came in second place with 772 calories.   

In third position, the Mars Easter egg, which also comes with two bars, contains 756 calories, closely followed by the Cadbury Bourneville, which counts 748, and the Dairy Milk Caramel egg Easter treat, counting 723.

The least calorific egg was none other than the M&Ms Choco, with only 492 calories for the whole pack of chocolate and sugar coated nuts.

The much beloved Cadbury Cream Eggs, which are known to be rich in calories, actually fell in the middle of the pack in eighth place, with 713 calories.
