There’s nothing worse on Easter than an empty Easter basket. Or – for that matter – no Easter basket at all (how sad). Everyone needs a little chocolate in their life, especially during this spring celebration. And there’s no better excuse to overindulge on gourmet egg and bunny shaped chocolates than on Easter (and the days following).

Fortunately, the Boston area has some of the best chocolate shops out there, making it even easier to shop local this spring.  Below we’ve rounded up 3 Boston-area chocolate shops offering delicious Easter-inspired treats. Order and purchase yours now before they run out!

EHChocolatier

If you’re looking for Easter treats that are as delicious as they are adorable, we recommend ordering treats from EHChocolatier. The artisan chocolate shop is offering bunny pops, an Easter bonbon collection, honey bunnies, salted caramel eggs, classic chocolate rabbits and more. Seriously, these look amazing. But, according to a source, you must place your order by this Sunday, April 13 in order to get them before Easter.

Hotel Chocolat

Visit Hotel Chocolat’s Newbury Street location to pick up their delicious and “luxurious” Easter chocolate collection. We recommend purchasing their “egglet extra thick Easter egg” – a large Easter egg with mini chocolate eggs inside filled with pralines and soft centered chocolates. Yum!

Phillips Chocolates

Boston’s oldest chocolatier has every kind of Easter chocolate imaginable. Whether you’re looking to order an entire pre-made Easter basket (save yourself the hassle) or a few extra goodies, Phillips has it all. In addition to chocolate, you can also order special peeps or jelly beans.
