Everyone loves a classic chocolate Easter Egg. From milk chocolate to dark chocolate, big to small, colourful to plain and simple - the options are endless! But what if we told you that Easter Sweets are just as good, if not better?! Although you may be sceptical, we at Keep It Sweet are here to show you that Easter Sweets are a fantastic and delicious alternative to chocolate this year - here’s just a few reasons why…

Easter isn’t complete without an egg hunt. Whether you’re going for a fun family affair or a hardcore competitive challenge this year, Easter Sweets are the perfect way to add a bit of excitement to an egg hunt and are sure to make this year’s one to remember. Our huge range of Easter Sweets contains everything from bite-sized individual treats to munch on along the way, to big ol’ prizes and sweet jars for the big prize. One of our personal favourites are Bunny Easter Pops. These large bunny nose shaped lollies not only look fantastic, but taste truly delicious! What’s more, these tasty treats come individually wrapped, so are perfect for sharing around or hiding in sneaky spots around the garden. Another all time classic in the world of Easter Sweets are Sugar Mice. These brightly coloured delights are super scrummy and look surprisingly realistic.

These are a great fun snack to make for both kids and adults alike and can be decorated with a whole host of delicious Easter Sweets.
