This Easter, Lidl Ireland is shattering expectations (and chocolate shells) with the launch of its most innovative Easter Egg collection yet. Moving beyond the traditional, the 2026 range introduces a fusion of handcrafted Irish chocolate eggs and bakery favorites made with premium Belgian chocolate, led by the show-stopping Belgian Chocolate Croissant Egg and the Belgian Chocolate Doughnut Egg costing €9.99.
Crafted for those who take their treats seriously, this year’s Deluxe range celebrates Irish craftsmanship and high-quality ingredients, ensuring there is a decadent option for every palate—from the dark chocolate purist to the adventurous dessert lover.
For the Brunch Enthusiasts: A Guilt-Free Easter Lie-In
In a bold move that marries the morning pastry run with the Easter Sunday tradition, Lidl Ireland invites adults to enjoy an Easter morning lie-in guilt-free with a brand-new range of bakery-inspired eggs. These treats bring the best of the Lidl bakery to the confectionery aisle for €9.99 each:
The Belgian Chocolate Croissant Egg is a Lidl bakery favorite remodeled into a golden chocolate treat. This masterpiece features a caramelised white chocolate shell packed with crunchy biscuit and shortbread pieces, finished with a sophisticated milk chocolate drizzle and cocoa nibs.
The Belgian Chocolate Doughnut Egg is a decadent reimagining of Lidl’s classic doughnut. This egg boasts a thick milk chocolate shell blended with shortbread and fudge pieces, topped with a luscious caramelised white chocolate coating and fudge sprinkles.
For the Supporters of Local: Handcrafted in Co. Cavan
Building on Lidl Ireland’s exciting 2026 range, Ireland are thrilled to spotlight our classic Handmade Premium Irish Egg Collection from Áine’s Handmade Chocolates at €11.99 each. These artisanal eggs are handmade in Co. Cavan using a high-cocoa Belgian chocolate base. Unlike big-brand alternatives, which can contain as little as 25% to 28% cocoa solids, Lidl Ireland’s Easter Eggs prioritise a rich cocoa solids content (at least 30% for milk and 51% for dark) and use real cocoa butter—no vegetable oils—resulting in a significantly smoother, more decadent melt.
For those seeking a refreshing twist, the Milk Mint Chocolate with White Chocolate egg offers a sophisticated blend of mint-infused Belgian milk chocolate, hand-decorated with an elegant white chocolate drizzle. This particular creation is a standout in the range, having earned a Great Taste 2023 award for its exceptional quality.
If you prefer a classic crunch, the Milk Chocolate with Honeycomb provides a rich Belgian milk chocolate shell that is generously hand-decorated with crispy honeycomb pieces. For a fruitier indulgence, the White Chocolate with Raspberries egg delivers a vibrant and creamy experience, finished with a bold dusting of real raspberries that provides a sharp, tart contrast to the sweet Belgian white chocolate. Finally, the Dark Chocolate with Caramelised Almonds caters to those who enjoy a deeper cocoa profile, featuring a handmade dark chocolate shell expertly decorated with crunchy, sweet caramelised almonds.
For the Savvy Shopper: Premium Quality Without the Premium Price Tag
To complete the 2026 collection, the Deluxe Irish Milk Chocolate Easter Egg and the Deluxe Irish Dark Chocolate Easter Egg both come accompanied by a selection of gourmet truffles for €8.99. Additionally, the range features two standout artisan pairings: the Deluxe Milk Chocolate & Salted Caramel Irish Easter Egg, which balances sweet and savoury notes, and the Deluxe Dark Chocolate & Coffee Irish Easter Egg for a more intense, roasted profile. Both of these premium 200g varieties are available for just €6.99, ensuring a high-end chocolate experience is accessible for every Easter celebration.
