Easter chocolate treats from Divine

Make this Easter special by choosing gorgeous chocolate treats from the company owned by cocoa farmers.

There is so much to choose from this year with something to tickle every taste bud and brand new product launches joining popular Divine favourites. All Divine's Easter Eggs are free from artificial flavourings, colourings and preservatives and are suitable for vegetarians.

For the ultimate luxury choice, opt for Divine's large Milk Chocolate Egg with Praline Mini Eggs. This egg comes beautifully packaged in gold foil decorated with a chocolate-brown ribbon and sits in a beautiful powder blue case. The box pays homage to Divine's Ghanaian heritage -adorned with traditional West African motifs called Adinkra symbols, the meanings of which are explained on the side of the box. The egg has a particularly smooth & creamy texture and is made using only the very finest cocoa beans handpicked by smallholder farmers in Ghana. In a box below the egg sit eight mini chocolate eggs with a soft hazelnut filling (260g, available at Waitrose, Oxfam, and online at divinechocolateshop.com, RRP £10.00).

For a charming little gift try Divine's smaller Easter Eggs: 55g milk, dark and white chocolate eggs made with Divine's pure cocoa beans and cocoa butter. Perfect if you want a smaller Easter treat, these eggs are available from Waitrose, Booths and online at divinechocolateshop.com RRP £3.00.

For those who prefer a larger egg try the Milk Chocolate Egg made with smooth natural milk chocolate (comes with milk chocolate mini-eggs (150g, available at Waitrose, Booths, Oxfam, and online at divinechocolateshop.com, RRP £5.00) or the wonderfully rich Dark Chocolate Egg with dark chocolate Brazil nuts (140g, available at Waitrose, Booths, and Oxfam and online at .divinechocolateshop.com, RRP £5.00). And because chocolate and a good book are a match made in heaven, we have joined forces with Penguin Classics to celebrate all that's Divine and chocolaty in classic literature with an on-pack competition to win 52 Penguin Classics and a year's worth of Divine Chocolate.

Divine is continuously working to reduce the environmental impact of its packaging. Our Easter eggs have never used plastic packaging and have always kept cardboard use and waste to a minimum. The 55g eggs, 150g eggs, and Luxury Milk Chocolate Egg with Praline Mini Eggs are all made with recycled cardboard. All Easter cardboard packaging is suitable for recycling.

At the heart of all Divine's chocolate is the premium cocoa which is grown with pride by the farmers in Ghana who co-own the company. After growing in the shade of the tropical rainforest the cocoa beans are harvested then fermented and dried in the sun for just the right period of time to allow a full flavour to develop.

Choosing a Divine egg this Easter is a great way to play your part in a more equitable trading partnership. Divine is the only Fairtrade chocolate company which is owned by the farmers in Ghana who farm the cocoa - a total of 45,000 members own a 45% share in Divine. While Fairtrade ensures farmers received a better deal for their cocoa and additional income to invest in the community, company ownership gives farmers a share of Divine's profits and a stronger voice in the cocoa industry.
