A clutch of charitable Easter eggs

With just a few days to go until Easter Sunday, chocolate is inescapable. Here’s a round up of some of the chocolate on offer that’s also doing good.
Okay, strictly speaking this one isn’t chocolate – Alder Hey Children’s Charity is offering a virtual egg for £2. Each one sold helps to ensure an egg or suitable gift on Easter Sunday for every child at Alder Hey, as well as help the charity in its work year-round.
