Where to Find Fair Trade Easter Eggs

March 31, 2015 by Stacey 11 Comments

Where to Find Fair Trade Easter Eggs

I remember wondering where to buy fair trade easter eggs many moons ago, and it was like searching for the back of your earring at 2am in the club. I ended up in Myer in the extremely expensive gift shop section, buying a bright blue monstrosity that I couldn’t even be sure tasted any good.

Nowadays they’re much easier to find, although still (sadly) not ubiquitous, nor plentiful. But, thankfully, we’ve come a long way since that night at the club. I mean, Myer.

Where to Find Fair Trade Easter Eggs

Chocolatier is super-easy to find and they’ve outdone themselves this year with the sheer volume of Easter chocolate delicacies. You could sort your whole family out just with this lot. Gift packs, easter egg hunt packs, mini eggs, eggs with bits in them, fancy eggs, and even chocolates that look like hot cross buns. Check them out for yourself – there’s something for everyone here.

Available at: Coles, Woolworths, David Jones, oxfam, larger supermarkets, and specialty stores. Divine has a bunch of cute Easter stuff this year (check out the range here), and while it’s probably too late to order online, they’re still available from this list of retailers.  There’s a few shops near me that stock them, so I’ll be having a look this week. one bunny. I hope it tastes good.

UTZ CERTIFIED

While not quite as stringent or as strong as fair trade certification, products that are UTZ certified are coming from farms that are working to be more sustainable, and farmers that have better conditions and opportunities.

Where to Find Fair Trade Easter Eggs

All of the Choceur, Dairy Fine, Moser Roth and Specially Selected Easter range at Aldi are UTZ certified. They have a huge range of bunnies, eggs, beanie eggs, caramel mini eggs, – even chocolate shaped like a cow! Plenty to choose from here.

UTZ certified, and the range they have this year are dark and milk chocolate eggs, ducks, mini eggs, chickens, bilbies, lollipops, gift boxes, and even a chocolate murray cod. You’re welcome.

Have I tempted you? 😉

    I’m already a lover of choclate, so the title alone already had me tempted. hahah

    I have to keep an eye out for these the next time I go grocery shopping. :9

    love the new look VM 🙂 And LOVE the fact that you have tracked down all the fair trade chocolate for me. Trying to be more conscious of these things, you know.

    I’m so glad fair trade is becoming more common, hopefully it will become the norm sooner rather than later. Between that and avoiding palm oil in Easter eggs & hot cross buns it can be a tricky time of year to buy ethically!

    Our Easter bunny got some Chocolatier items this year. I plan to pillage the Easter basket!

    I love the new look. So fresh and so clean!

      We won an easter basket at kinder in a raffle, so our easter bunny doesn’t actually have to do anything but put them in a new bucket 😉

      Thanks so much! I really love it but I was wondering what others would think!

    Oh the memories you’ve revived. Looking for the back of my earring (or even the earring) in a club at 2:00am is something I recall with sentimental nostalgia. Your Easter egg suggestions are also brilliant. I have a very sensitive and socially conscious and ethics minded ten year old nephew and I will look for your Chocolatier eggs in Coles for him and tell him about the fair trade Easter bunny! Happy Easter to your own gorgeous little bunnies 🙂

    Yay. I bought dark Haighs chocolate, beacuse it is yummy and I like to support South Australian businesses. (Adelaide girl here) I am extra pleased to know that their chocolate is UTZ certified. That means I can buy extra ‘for the kids’…
