These are the most unusual Easter eggs you can buy - and where to get them

Although it may be an unusual Easter this year, as we continue to deal with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, hopefully there will still be a chance for everyone to treat themselves. If you're looking for something a bit more special than your average Easter egg, then we've picked some of the best unusual and new options available to buy now. Talisker whisky egg Single malt whisky brand, Talisker, has partnered with an Edinburgh based chocolatier to create its first ever Easter egg. A spokesperson for Talisker explained that the rich single malt pairs perfectly with the premium dark chocolate from COCO Chocolatier, resulting in a marriage of “intense and indulgent flavours”. The Talisker Easter Egg is priced at £35 and combines dark chocolate, made using premium South American cocoa, with sea salt straight from the home of Talisker, on the Isle of Skye. Accompanying the Easter egg are bespoke Talisker Whisky sea salted caramels, for a smokey, salty bite of the dramatic coastline of the Isle of Skye. Waitrose illusion eggs Off the back of their successful, realistic looking avocado egg, Waitrose will be selling a range of so-called 'art of illusion' eggs. Heston Blumenthal is back with his new Eggstraordinary Chocolate Hen's Eggs, which look just like the real thing but are, in fact, made from white chocolate and house a soft two-tone banoffee centre, with layers of fresh banana purée ganache and dark chocolate caramel ganache. Continuing with the theme of illusion, the Spring Lemon looks like it's ready to be sliced and squeezed. A surprising Easter treat, zesty lemon flavours complement smooth white chocolate for a sweet, yet citrusy flavour. For a grown-up upgrade to a traditional Easter Egg hunt, the Heston from Waitrose Eggstraordinary Speckled Eggs are back by popular demand. At first sight, these blue speckled mini eggs might not look like anything out of the ordinary, however chocoholics will be delighted to find a delicious fleur de sel caramel filling. Gin and prosecco eggs Brand new for 2020 are the Aldi and Moser Roth artisan, alcohol infused Easter eggs. Gin fans will enjoy a Gin White Chocolate Egg, and there's also a Prosecco and Raspberry Milk Chocolate Egg - both £4.99. The gin egg is infused with gin and juniper and hand decorated with edible lustre, giving it a celebratory sparkle. Meanwhile, the Prosecco and Raspberry Milk Chocolate Egg presents a match made in fizz heaven with a classic prosecco and raspberry pairing. Giant eggs Aldi will also be home to a range of giant eggs, including the Moser Roth Giant Ostrich egg, Butterfly and Bloom eggs, and a Moser Roth Giant Dragon egg - all £14.99. The Ostrich egg is an 800g giant white chocolate egg with caramel flavouring. The Butterfly and Bloom egg is made with Fairtrade cocoa and hand decorated with 3D butterflies and flowers, and nested within the shell is a gold lustre Belgian blonde chocolate egg. The Moser Roth Giant Dragon Egg is hand finished with a decorative ombre effect of bright russet to deep copper, and with a rich lustre finish.

The hollow chocolate characters are both £5 and are available in store now.

Butlers cheese Easter egg This Cheesalicious Easter Egg, £4.50, is described as the “perfect alternative Easter gift for those who favour savoury over sweet”.
