How Our Luxury Easter Eggs Are Made

Ever wondered how Easter eggs are made? At Harry Specters, it starts with colour, care, and cocoa. Each luxury Easter egg begins its journey in the hands of our chocolatiers—painted by hand, filled with rich Belgian chocolate, and finished with purpose. This isn’t just chocolate. This is artistry you can taste.

Easter is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a celebration of renewal, indulgence, and creativity. The chocolate eggs you share (or sneak for yourself—we won’t judge) should be every bit as joyful as the occasion itself. That’s where we come in.

At Harry Specters, we craft luxury Easter eggs that are as meaningful as they are mouth-watering. They’re handmade using ethically sourced Belgian chocolate, gluten-free, and entirely suitable for vegetarians. Every egg is a small batch masterpiece, infused with flavour and finished with flair. Want a peek behind the scenes? Come with us.

Step One: A Splash of Colour

It all begins before a single drop of chocolate is poured.

First, we hand-paint the inside of every egg mould using cocoa butter mixed with natural colourings—cheerful greens, golden hues, rosy reds, and bold blues. It’s a little like preparing a canvas, only this one ends in a delicious crunch.

Some eggs are brushed with gentle streaks; others get playful speckles or marbled swirls. And some—like our Caramel Egg—get a generous white chocolate drizzle to hint at the richness inside.

Not all eggs are decorated in the mould. Some wait until the shell has cooled and set before being adorned by our chocolatiers, turning them into striking, edible works of art. No two are the same—and that’s just how we like it.

Step Two: The Shell Game Begins

With the moulds ready and radiant, we begin the chocolate shell.

We use premium Belgian chocolate sourced from Barry Callebaut and their Cocoa Horizons Foundation. We pay a premium for every kilogram, helping to ensure cocoa farmers are fairly paid and supported. This means your Easter chocolate doesn’t just taste good—it does good, too.

The moulds are filled by hand, closed, and gently turned to spread the chocolate evenly. Then it’s time to meet Galileo—our egg-spinning machine. Galileo slowly rotates and vibrates the filled moulds, making sure each shell is beautifully even, with no air bubbles, cracks, or thin spots.

Once perfected, the chocolate eggs are cooled in specially calibrated fridges. These precise temperatures ensure a flawless finish—shiny, smooth, and ready to crack open with a satisfying snap.

Step Three: The Finishing Touches

After setting, the moulds are carefully opened, revealing the glossy eggs inside. This part takes a gentle hand. There’s a moment of suspense with every release—and a quiet cheer when each chocolate egg emerges looking picture perfect.

But we’re not done yet. Before they’re packed, each egg is inspected for quality. This isn’t a job for machines. It takes trained eyes (and a little bit of chocolate passion) to spot anything less than luxury.

Every egg is then tucked into its own custom box—protected and presented like the treasure it is. Whether you choose silky milk chocolate or something rich and dark, your egg arrives as if it’s been gift-wrapped by joy itself.

Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, and Gloriously Ethical

We’re proud to say all of our chocolate is vegetarian-safe and gluten-free. That means more people can enjoy it, share it, and gift it. We don’t believe in compromising on quality or inclusivity—chocolate should be a celebration for everyone.

And when it comes to ingredients, we keep it clean. No artificial colours, no unpronounceable extras. Just natural flavour, rich cocoa, and the occasional sprinkle of magic.

Why Our Easter Eggs Are Worth It

In a world full of mass-produced, sugar-loaded novelty treats, Harry Specters does things differently. Our luxury Easter eggs are handmade in small batches, using ethically sourced ingredients and finished with care. They’re crafted not just to impress your tastebuds—but to spark joy, create memories, and bring a little art to your Easter table.

So this year, give the gift of a chocolate egg that tells a story. One of quality, craft, and character. One that’s vegetarian, ethical, and unforgettably delicious.
