If you hark back to the days when your Easter Eggs used to have something exciting inside, then Buttermilk has the perfect offering for 2018!

The family-run Cornish firm is offering handmade Easter Eggs in three new flavours- each filled with a special treat inside. Each is lovingly made to create the perfect gift for the friend or family member who would love something different at Easter.

The first is a fabulous Strawberry Bellini Easter Egg – a fruity, fizzy treat that tastes like your favourite cocktail. The white chocolate egg is infused with freeze-dried strawberry pieces and a little popping surprise. Inside, you’ll find Buttermilk’s new Strawberry Bellini Fudge – the perfect buttery, crumbly accompaniment to a glass of Prosecco and strawberries.

Next up is a stunning Caramel Sea Salt Milk Chocolate Easter Egg. Inside the milk chocolate egg with butterscotch decoration, you’ll find caramel sea salt fudge infused with tiny flakes of sea salt for a perfect burst of salt combined with caramel sweetness.

Lastly, Buttermilk has launched a Dark Chocolate and Honeycomb Easter Egg. This Belgian dark chocolate egg is drizzled with white chocolate. Open up the two chocolate halves and inside, there’s a melt-in-the-mouth honeycomb dipped in dark chocolate with real honey and a dash of sea salt.

For a smaller but equally tasty treat, Buttermilk has taken Hot Cross buns for its inspiration and created a fantastic new crumbly fudge that really does taste like Easter.

Buttermilk director, Tracy McDonnell Goad said: “We could not be more excited to launch our Easter range which is inspired by memories of traditional Easter eggs. With that in mind, we wanted to make a special treat that is filled with our delicious confectionery to create a truly memorable Easter Egg for children and adults alike without the disappointment of a hollow egg!”

“If you’re looking for something that’s a bit different and lovingly handmade here in Cornwall, then we definitely have something for you!”

All are gluten-free and cost £11.99 each. The Hot Cross bun fudge costs £2.99.
