Thorntons, M&S, Kinnerton's do one which can be bought in some supermarkets, dietary needs direct and goodness direct.

Last year Sainsbury's did an own brand one.

sorry, meant veganstore - here

Ooh great, thanks. Inlaws are not 'getting' it so good to know they're easy to find.

It's v much like Nana in The Royle Family:
'Emma's a vegetarian, Nana'
'Oh I am sorry. Can she have wafer thin ham?'

My DD has an anaphylactic allergy to cow's milk. When I've searched for milk free easter eggs in previous years, they've always been plain/dark chocolate which is just too bitter for young children. (can't say I like it much either TBH)
Last year I made Easter eggs for both my children and they loved it.
I bought an egg mould from a baking shop - melted the chocolate and then decorated them with icing sugar.
We had great fun making them and (even if I say so myself) they were fab!

It's tricky isn't it, I'd be quite happy for easter eggs not to exist but then I'm an old killjoy and not a huge choc fan. If the kids are young enough could start a tradition of an egg-shaped chocolate cake instead maybe?

That's a great idea. (I might steal it! ;o)
TBH I found that mine enjoyed the fact that they'd joined in making the eggs the most exciting part anyway. iyswim.
