You’re spoiled for choice …

Butlers Chocolates

A household name that’s top of the charts when it comes to Irish chocolate done well. Butlers leans into classic, crowd-pleasing luxury, from silky truffles to neatly boxed assortments that never fail as a gift. Their cafés have also become a quiet staple for a reason, pairing proper hot chocolate with that signature complimentary chocolate on the side. Familiar, dependable and delicious. What more could a body ask for?

Cló Chocolate

Cló sits firmly in the “chocolate for grown ups” camp. Small batch, beautifully wrapped and flavour led, their bars lean into single origin cacao with a confident hand. Expect depth, subtlety and the kind of finish that makes you slow down a little. @clochocolates

NearyNógs Chocolate

 A true bean to bar operation, NearyNógs makes everything from scratch in Co Down, roasting and grinding cacao on site. The result is bold, characterful chocolate that feels worlds away from anything generic. Their Easter pieces tend to sell out quickly for good reason. @nearynogschocolate

Bean and Goose

Polished, thoughtful and gift-able, Bean and Goose do luxury without feeling overdone. Irish ingredients are woven through the range, from honey to herbs, and the overall effect is elegant but still approachable. A safe bet when you want to impress. @beanandgoose

Lorge Artisan Chocolates

For full blown indulgence, Lorge from Co Kerry is hard to beat. Rooted in French technique, these are precise, glossy chocolates with beautifully balanced fillings. Think pralines, ganaches and delicate shells that feel every bit as luxurious as they look. @lorgechocolates

Grá Chocolates

Visually, these are almost too pretty to eat. Handpainted bonbons in Co Galway with intricate designs hide carefully layered flavours underneath, making each piece feel like a small event. Perfect for gifting or elevating your own Easter stash. @gra_chocolates

Bon Chocolatiers

Bon Chocolatiers lean into classic luxury with a modern edge. Expect rich truffles, elegant boxes and flavours that err on the indulgent side of things. This is chocolate for after dinner, ideally with a glass of something decent in hand. @bonchocolatiers

Hazel Mountain Chocolate

Set in the Burren, Hazel Mountain brings a slightly wilder, more elemental feel to luxury chocolate. Organic cacao, stone grinding and a strong focus on origin give their bars a real sense of place. It’s refined, but never fussy. @hazelmountainchocolate

Tara Gartlan Chocolate

Based in Monaghan, as a coeliac everything Tara makes is gluten-free. Her chocolates feel quietly luxurious, with a focus on elegant flavour pairings and beautifully finished pieces. Think refined bonbons and thoughtful seasonal creations that lean more into subtlety than showiness. One to seek out if you like your chocolate understated yet seriously well made. @taragartlanchocolate
