Waitrose is kicking off the Easter season early this year, launching a range of affordable luxury treats for adults.

Waitrose is taking a sustainable approach with all own-brand confectionery made using Fairtrade cocoa and 100% recyclable packaging.

From whimsical pistachio-themed double-shelled Easter eggs to chilli-spiced Mexican honey-filled chocolate chicks, Jack the Jack Russell with an Easter makeover to a panettone hot cross bun crossover cake, this is what Waitrose has to offer this spring.
