As Easter approaches, chocolate lovers have a reason to celebrate beyond the traditional holiday festivities. Chocolove, the renowned Boulder, Colorado-based confectionery brand, has announced the limited-time return of their highly anticipated filled chocolate Easter eggs. These seasonal treats combine premium Belgian chocolate with luscious fillings, offering a sophisticated alternative to standard Easter candy. The limited availability creates a special opportunity for those looking to elevate their Easter baskets or simply indulge in high-quality, ethically sourced chocolate during the spring season. With a 30-year legacy of crafting exceptional chocolate products, Chocolove continues its tradition of creating seasonal specialties that honor both taste and responsible sourcing practices.
Delectable Quartet of Seasonal Flavors
Chocolove’s Easter collection features four distinct bite-sized filled eggs that showcase the brand’s commitment to quality ingredients and innovative flavor combinations. The Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel eggs balance rich, slightly bitter chocolate with a buttery, salt-kissed caramel center that creates a perfect harmony of flavors. For nut butter enthusiasts, the Dark Chocolate Almond Butter eggs offer a sophisticated pairing of smooth almond butter enrobed in intense dark chocolate.
The Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter eggs provide a nostalgic yet elevated experience, combining creamy milk chocolate with a velvety peanut butter filling that rivals handmade confections. Perhaps most exciting for seasonal treat seekers is the Milk Chocolate Marshmallow variety – a limited-edition offering featuring Belgian milk chocolate surrounding a fluffy marshmallow center. These marshmallow-filled eggs are only available during the Easter season, making them especially sought after by Chocolove fans.
All four varieties come with impressive credentials that ethical consumers value. The entire Easter egg collection is Non-GMO Project Verified and Rainforest Alliance Certified, ensuring these treats aren’t just delicious but also aligned with modern environmental and ethical standards. Additionally, Chocolove uses traceable cocoa in all their products, allowing consumers to enjoy these seasonal indulgences with peace of mind.

Where to Find These Limited-Edition Treats
The excitement around Chocolove’s Easter eggs is matched by their widespread availability at major retailers nationwide. Shoppers can find these seasonal delights at Kroger, Albertson’s, Whole Foods Markets, and Sprouts locations across the country. Additional retail partners include Wegman’s, Stop & Shop, Natural Grocers, New Seasons Market, and Raley’s Supermarket, making these treats accessible in most regions.
For those who prefer online shopping or don’t have participating retailers nearby, Chocolove has made their Easter collection available through their official website (Chocolove.com) and Amazon. This expanded distribution ensures chocolate enthusiasts everywhere can experience these limited-time offerings before they disappear until next spring. The company’s approach to seasonal chocolate mirrors their year-round philosophy seen in other popular items like their nut and sea salt bars that have developed a loyal following.
With Easter being one of the biggest chocolate-buying seasons of the year, Chocolove has positioned these premium eggs as an alternative to mass-produced options. The filled eggs provide a sophisticated choice for adults creating Easter baskets or anyone looking to elevate their holiday traditions with artisanal quality chocolate products that still feel festive and seasonal.
Exclusive Handcrafted Easter Truffle Collection
Beyond their filled eggs, Chocolove has unveiled an extraordinary limited-edition truffle assortment created by Master Chocolatier Chef Patrick Peeters. This exclusive collection showcases the brand’s artisanal capabilities while offering chocolate connoisseurs a truly special Easter indulgence. The truffles come packaged in a distinctive lime green Easter egg-shaped box that serves as both beautiful presentation and keepsake container.
Inside this eye-catching packaging, customers discover ten handcrafted Easter-themed chocolate shapes with various gourmet fillings. Each piece is meticulously crafted to reflect spring and Easter motifs while delivering sophisticated flavor combinations that demonstrate Chef Peeters’ expertise. The collection features seasonal designs that include classic Easter symbols reimagined through premium chocolate craftsmanship.
Unlike the filled eggs available at retailers nationwide, this exclusive truffle assortment can only be purchased directly from Chocolove.com, making it a special treat for dedicated fans of the brand. The limited availability heightens the appeal for collectors and chocolate enthusiasts seeking unique seasonal offerings. These artisanal creations remind me of other impressive chocolate work I’ve encountered, like the intricate designs in a chocolate pistachio tart I recently featured.
Creative Ways to Enjoy Chocolove’s Easter Offerings
The versatility of Chocolove’s Easter eggs extends beyond simple snacking. These premium chocolate treats add sophistication to traditional Easter baskets, elevating them from children’s novelties to gourmet gift collections. For elegant Easter gatherings, the filled eggs make perfect place settings or dessert accompaniments that signal attention to quality and detail.
The bite-sized nature of these eggs makes them ideal for creating stunning dessert presentations without extensive preparation. Try arranging them atop frosted cupcakes, incorporating them into a chocolate charcuterie board, or using them as decorative elements on spring-themed cakes. The distinct flavors also pair beautifully with after-dinner coffee or dessert wines for adult Easter celebrations.
For creative home bakers, these eggs can be incorporated into innovative Easter egg desserts by chopping and folding them into cookie dough or brownie batter, creating a surprise flavor burst. The four different varieties allow for mix-and-match combinations that can satisfy diverse palates at family gatherings. The filled eggs also make thoughtful additions to care packages for college students or loved ones who can’t join family celebrations in person.
The Difference Premium Chocolate Makes
What sets Chocolove’s Easter offerings apart from standard seasonal candy is their commitment to quality chocolate as the foundation. The Belgian chocolate used in these products features a higher cocoa butter content than mass-market alternatives, resulting in a smoother mouthfeel and more complex flavor profile. This premium base elevates the entire eating experience, transforming a casual Easter treat into a memorable indulgence.
The fillings in each egg variety demonstrate the careful balance of flavors that Chocolove has perfected over three decades. Rather than overwhelming sweetness, these eggs offer nuanced taste combinations—like the subtle salt that enhances the caramel filling or the rich nuttiness of almond butter against dark chocolate. This sophisticated approach appeals particularly to adult palates while remaining accessible to younger chocolate lovers.
The marked difference in quality becomes evident in the texture and melt of these specialty items compared to mass-produced Easter candy. Much like the distinction between standard chocolate-covered nuts and premium versions like dark chocolate covered almonds, Chocolove’s offerings demonstrate how ingredient quality transforms the category. For those looking to reduce sugar intake while still enjoying holiday treats, the complexity of Chocolove’s chocolates provides satisfaction with more depth and less reliance on extreme sweetness.
Boulder’s Chocolate Legacy: Chocolove’s 30-Year Journey
The story behind Chocolove adds another layer of appeal to their seasonal offerings. Founded in Boulder, Colorado thirty years ago, the company has grown from a small passionate venture into a nationally recognized premium chocolate brand. Their Colorado roots remain central to their identity, reflecting the natural, outdoorsy ethos of the region while maintaining dedication to craft and quality. This milestone anniversary coincides with the return of their Easter eggs, highlighting the brand’s longevity in a competitive market.
Throughout their three decades, Chocolove has built a reputation for combining European chocolate-making traditions with American innovation and ethical business practices. The company was an early adopter of sustainability standards when such commitments were less common in the industry. Their Boulder headquarters continues to serve as both production facility and innovation center, where seasonal specialties like the Easter eggs are developed and refined each year.
Chocolove’s approach to ethical sourcing goes beyond simple certification. The brand has developed direct relationships with cocoa producers and implemented traceable supply chains that allow them to monitor conditions throughout production. This commitment to responsible chocolate sourcing has positioned them as industry leaders in sustainability while building consumer trust in their seasonal and year-round offerings. I’ve discovered that supporting companies with strong ethical values enhances my enjoyment of their products, which is why I’m also a fan of their apparel with foodie themes that promotes similar values.
Their Rainforest Alliance Certification ensures that the cocoa in their Easter eggs and other products meets strict environmental, social, and economic sustainability criteria. Additionally, their dedication to Non-GMO verification demonstrates attention to ingredient quality and transparency. These commitments reflect a holistic approach to chocolate making that considers the entire supply chain from cocoa farm to finished seasonal treats, allowing consumers to feel good about including Chocolove’s Easter eggs in their spring celebrations.
