Chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, cream filled chocolate eggs and marshmallow chicks:
This is not the year to stroll the aisles for the components of a creative Easter basket.
Here are five of our favorite chocolate Easter giftsbek from America’s top chocolatiers.
The quality of the chocolate is top-knotch; it isn’t the sugary-sweet chocolate beloved by most children.

THE BEST EASTER CHOCOLATES
We’ve chosen these as “best” because they’re different from the typical box, bunny or filled egg.
Burdick Chocolate, especially the Spring Crate.
Charles Chocolates, especially the edible chocolate gift box filled with fleur de sel caramels.
Chocolat Moderne, especially the hand-painted Easter eggs filled with different flavors of ganache.
Lake Champlain Chocolates, especially the Milk Sea Salt & Almond Bunny.
Recchiuti Confections, especially the Burnt Caramel Easter Eggs
Woodhouse Chocolate, especially the Laughing Rabbits*.
It may not be Easter-as-usual, but a great piece of chocolate brings a moment of cheer, and great memories.
