READ MORE: I tried alternative hot cross buns from Aldi, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and M&S - and these are the best Easter treat For those who like rich chocolate with high cacao content, the Lindt Excellence bars are perfect. The Excellence 85% Cocoa Robust Dark Chocolate Bar is a powerful and tart option that’s a true delight. There are also 70% and 85% cocoa bars, meaning there’s something for any dark chocolate lover!

If you’re hosting a party or having guests over for dinner, the Lindt Creation Dessert Box is an exceptional sweet treat. It includes 21 joyous Lindt chocolates that are sure to go down a treat after a meal, with a hot drink or any time, for that matter! Utilising mouth-watering Lindt chocolate, the treats take inspiration from Caramel Eclairs, Crème Brûlée and Tiramisu among others. It goes without saying that these not only make brilliant party additions, but they’re fantastic gifts, too. Part of the campaign also involves a nationwide survey that charts the public's favourite way to boost their mood (apart from consuming an ungodly amount of Lindt chocolate, obvs). Among the top answers were a good night's sleep (51% of those asked), a walk on a sunny morning (something of a rarity in the UK these days) and a hug. Aww.

For those who love Lindt Lindor, but also enjoy chocolate bars, this is the perfect treat for you! The Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Bar takes the recipe that makes Lindor truffles so irresistible and transforms it into a delicate, indulgent chocolate bar. Within their range, you’ll also find a pair of irresistible spreads. Depending on your taste, either the Lindt Dark Chocolate Spread or the Hazelnut Chocolate Spread is the perfect ways to start your morning with some smooth chocolatey magic! Renowned expert and spokesperson for the Lindt Hoppiness Campaign, Dr Zoe Williams, said: "Simple pleasures really do lift our spirits. They are the icing on the cake of our lives – and proportionately contribute far more to our wellbeing than many more expensive treats do." If food is your jam (it's definitely ours) then the bunnies containing the prizes are already out in the world, so go forth and indulge!

The iconic and instantly recognisable chocolate treats take around an hour to make. After coating a mould with their fine chocolate, the bunnies are left to cool at optimum temperature to attain the perfect sheen and crisp snap. Rodolphe Lindt used his conching machine so that chocolate could be melted down until smooth enough to coat moulds of any shape, ready to create hollow chocolate figures.Today, around 150 million Lindt gold bunny figures are produced every year in over 50 countries around the world. From its perfect creaminess and velvety smooth chocolate to its decent chunky structure, this affordable Easter treat was pretty much identical to the master Chocolatier bunny. Last, but certainly not least, was this rather interesting looking milk chocolate hollow Easter bunny from supermarket giant Asda.

Expertly produced using the traditions of Lindt’s Master Chocolatiers, the Swiss Luxury Selection Box provides a delectable array of pralines. The finest ingredients come together in a collection of 14 pralines containing the smoothness of Lindt’s milk chocolate, as well as their sweet white and rich dark chocolate. This box is a fine gift that any chocolate connoisseur will adore.

What Makes Lindt Special?

Just like they have with the rest of their range, the Swiss chocolatiers have worked delicious flavours into their rich, dark chocolate bars. The Excellence Dark Orange Intense Bar is a popular example of yet another masterful indulgence in the Lindt range. In 2015, Lindt released a special edition Lindt gold bunny wrapped in leopard and zebra print foil. These were followed by other limited-edition prints showcasing flowers.
