Prodigy Salted Caramel Chocolate Eggs (£8.49 for 6, prodigysnacks. com).
These UK-made eggs contain no refined sugar, artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. Instead they’re much lower in regular sugar than most chocolate, with an average of just 7g per serving. The Chocolate and Salted Caramel flavours contain prebiotic fibre and are vegan plus free from gluten, dairy and palm oil. The wrappers are compostable, plasticfree and biodegradable, making them a good choice for Earth Day!
