The sandwich-shaped chocolate features half-eggs on chocolate slices, offering a refreshing take on conventional Easter chocolates. To complete the theme, Hotel Chocolat packages its Easter Egg Sandwiches in takeaway-style packages that are triangular in shape and boast a transparent panel that shows off the novelty chocolate design. As well as offering its Easter Egg Sandwich in a milk chocolate variety, Hotel Chocolat also produces options like [caramel chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-dairy-milk-biscoff-ultimate), white chocolate, dark chocolate and even a playful version like '[Lamb & Mint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinon-fries)' that swaps the half-egg shape for an edible sheep figurine.
