Australia's best chocolate eggs and bunnies, ranked

We risked a sugar-induced coma to sample all chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies to rank them from most disappointing to best in show.

10. Red Tulip Elegant Rabbit

There's a reason you're not reaching for Red Tulip chocolate any time other than Easter; it's a wholly hollow experience.

9. Kinder Surprise Egg

Sadly, the surprise in a Kinder Surprise is usually the kind of disappointing novelty that ultimately ends up in landfill.

8. Grand Ferrero Rocher

Peeling back the foil reveals a giant, hollow globe of delicious hazelnut-dotted chocolate.

7. Cadbury Humpty Dumpty Egg

Cadbury, who bought Humpty egg originators Red Tulip in 2013, have taken custody of the beanie-filled chocolate king, and replaced the chocolate with their own.

6. Easter Bilby

With bunnies threatening bilbies and other Australian wildlife, we're keen to support local producers still flying the bilby flag.

5. Lindt Bunny

The Lindt bunny is more than just its fancy wrapping. Made from Swiss milk, it is delicious, dependable, reliable, and always welcome.

4. Darrell Lea Rocklea Road & Liquorice Eggs

Any fan of locally-made, palm oil-free chocolate would be thrilled to eat these deliciously lumpy, treat-filled eggs.

3. Cadbury Easter Eggs

The simplicity and volume of these foil-wrapped Cadbury milk chocolate eggs makes them a favourite to find on an Easter hunt.

2. Malteser MaltEaster Bunny

Not content with replicating the classic Malteser coating, the geniuses at Mars have added a creamy, malty centre.

1. Cadbury Creme Egg

We know it's not everybody's favourite, but the Cadbury Creme Egg is the clear, objective bearer of the Easter chocolate crown.
