IT'S a tough job, but someone has to do it.

Judges have assessed 127 Easter eggs or chocolates on the market this year, and declared the winners in a range of categories.

The Good Housekeeping Institute has named the best for children, teenagers and adults, and the best for sharing and in the free-from range.

Shortlisted eggs in each category were blind-tasted and assessed for appearance, aroma, texture and taste.

Judges said:

Best for grown-ups and top scorers overall, score of 80/100

  • Tesco Finest Belgian Milk Chocolate Hidden Egg - £15
  • Betty's Trio of Spring Flower Eggs - £27.50

Best for children, score of 78/100

  • Aldi Dairyfine Giant Chocolate Bunny - £3.99

Best for teenagers, score of 76/100

  • Iceland's Honeycomb & Caramel egg - £4

Best for sharing, score of 79/100

  • Thorntons Continental egg - £10, accompanied with truffles

Best from free-from ranges, score of 74/100

  • Asda Free from Egg with Choc Orange Discs - £4.00
  • Booja Booja Fine De Champagne Chocolate Truffles - £24.99.

Caroline Bloor, consumer director at Good Housekeeping, said: “Retailers have definitely upped their game with innovative and eye-catching products but, disappointingly, much of the chocolate failed to deliver on taste. If you’re on the hunt for delicious Easter Eggs, you need to look out for our winners.”
