If your Easter celebrations are all about the chocolate surprises, you're in for a treat.
There's not long now until Easter and the chocolate-covered eggs have been filling our shelves for months now.
If you've already done the rounds of Mini Eggs, Creme Eggs and tested out every Cadburys springtime treat, you might be on the look for a new sweet treat to satisfy your cravings as we enter the final weeks before the Easter weekend.

What might just be the greatest Easter invention: Yorkshire bakery, 42nd East Bakehouse have created the ultimate chocolate scotch egg- and it even has a mini egg inside that's literally bursting with flavour.
There's three different options: Oreo, salted caramel millionaire or the classic creme egg wrapped inside a ball of brownie before being dunked in another layer of cookie dough on top and topped with biscuit crumbs to create that bread-like texture on top.
If these aren't enough to get you drooling, there's cookie dough pizzas topped with mini eggs available during spring, as well as an 'Easter Cheesecake Jar', which is made up of mini eggs and cheesecake in a jar with Biscoff crumb.

The Yorkshire bakery sell all things cookies, and we’re obsessed. Cookie burritos, cookie cups, cookie pies, cookie slap: everything and anything you can think of with a cookie in, they’ve made it- but this might just top the lot.
The Yorkshire-based bakery has a spot in Leeds’ Queens Arcade, but their main store is based in Beverley, where you can grab a coffee, join a mental-health-based cooking class or taste some of their savoury dishes.
If you need any recommendations for your visit to the Leeds store, the cookie burritos stopped us in our tracks.
It’s a chocolate bar of your choice wrapped in a slab of our gooey chocolate brownie and then roll in our cookie dough and baked off, dipped in chocolate and drizzled & topped with chocolate swirls.
There’s fudge, Mars Bars, Ferrero Rocher and Bueno to choose from to form the base, each with their own toppings and flavours- so each burrito is unique.
For more information or to check out the delicious Easter treats for yourself, visit the 42nd East Bakehouse website to pre-order, or pop into the Queens Arcade store.

Cult burger brand Burgerism opens takeaway outside of Manchester in a Leeds suburb
The North West’s most ordered burger has landed in Leeds, and it’s easy to see why it’s loved by so many.Â
If you don't know about Burgerism, then get to know.
The iconic burger brand, which started life as a dark kitchen off an industrial estate in Salford, is now almost ready to welcome fans into its first Leeds location.
Set to open tomorrow – Wednesday 23 September – Burgerism will be serving up their signature smash burgers from a new site over in Meanwood.

The site sits right next to The Meadwood Tavern on Meanwood Road, the perfect location for if you're out and about and looking for a bit of grub after a few pints.
The interior is sporting the bright Burgerism orange, and although it is mainly a takeaway restaurant there are a few seats for sit-in.
You’ll be able to order your food at the counter, via self-service kiosks, or through click-and-collect on the Burgerism website.

Highlights on the menu will, as always, include the fan-favourite Cheesed (two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and the brand’s signature sauce, served in a seeded brioche bun), as well as a range of chicken burgers, fries, and wings.
Everything is made fresh to order, and even their sauces and dips are made entirely in-house.Â

And the good stuff doesn't stop there, as to celebrate the grand opening they'll be giving away the first 100 customers from 5pm a 'Comeback Card' where you'll eat on them during your next visit. So get there early if you don't want to miss out
The Meanwood site will be the sixth Burgerism site following its five openings elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
A new açai cafe promising to be Leeds’ ‘neighbourhood social club’ is opening soon
Clementine Hall
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
