Marks & Spencer Unveils Easter Range with Viral Chocolate Bar Twist
Marks & Spencer has officially launched its highly anticipated Easter collection, and shoppers are already expressing immense excitement. The supermarket giant has cleverly reintroduced some of last year's viral Easter eggs by popular demand, while also unveiling a new innovative treat that has captured the public's imagination.
This seasonal launch marks a delightful shift from the winter holidays, with supermarket shelves now adorned with chocolate delights signaling the arrival of spring. The extensive range offers a plethora of indulgent options, truly spoiling consumers for choice in the lead-up to Easter.
Big Daddy Chocolate Bar Transformed into Luxurious Easter Egg
In a creative move, M&S has transformed one of its most popular viral chocolate bars into a thick, decadent Easter egg. The Big Daddy Pistachio Loaded Half Egg, priced at £12, draws direct inspiration from the beloved The Big Daddy bar. This product features an extra-thick milk chocolate half egg, meticulously layered with soft caramel, chewy caramel pieces, and roasted pistachio chunks, all finished with a luxurious white chocolate and pistachio centre.
Additionally, the Big Daddy Peanut Loaded Half Egg, also £12, offers a milk chocolate half egg loaded with milk and dark chocolate chunks, creamy peanut butter, roasted peanuts, and a layer of soft caramel, topped with roasted peanut pieces and dark chocolate chunks. Early customer reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with many describing these new pistachio and peanut eggs as addictive and a brilliant twist on the legendary The Big Daddy Bar.
Return of Fan Favourite and New Additions
Shoppers are also thrilled about the return of the Outrageously Chocolatey Custard Cream Biscuity Egg, priced at £12. M&S reports that this egg alone is already accounting for half of all Easter egg sales in their food department this year. This viral star from last year features a luxurious hollow milk chocolate shell studded with crunchy biscuit pieces, filled with decadent white chocolate and custard truffle.
For those seeking smaller treats, the new Eggstra Gooey Pistachio Eggs have arrived, with fans enthusiastically calling them banging. Priced at £6 for a box, these eggs are made with rich Belgian chocolate, a sweet and sticky Gooey Caramel Egg, and a creamy vanilla and luxuriously thick salted caramel centre.
The Easter range further expands with several other enticing items:
- New Pistachio Crème Filled Eggs at £3

Trend-Driven Innovation in Easter Confectionery
This year's collection is strategically aligned with current food trends. With Dubai chocolate emerging as the number one trending hashtag for food and drink in the UK on TikTok last year, and pistachio maintaining its popularity online, M&S has smartly centered its Easter range around these themes. The focus on pistachio-flavoured products and luxurious chocolate offerings reflects a keen understanding of consumer preferences and social media trends, ensuring the range resonates with modern shoppers.
The launch has undoubtedly generated significant buzz, with customers rushing to stores to secure these limited-edition treats. M&S continues to demonstrate its prowess in creating innovative and trend-setting products that captivate the market during key seasonal periods.
