If you’re making our quiz a feature of your Easter Sunday, some chocolate rewards are sure to go down a treat. Whether you opt to award prizes for each correct answer, or a bigger one for your winners, there are numerous routes you could go down.
For rewarding every correct answer, something smaller like foiled mini eggs are perfect. Nobody is overloaded with chocolate, but the craving is satisfied nonetheless! You could also use Easter-themed pick n mix sweets, like marshmallow bunnies, for those who’ve had enough chocolate.
In choosing a grand prize, you’ll want something a bit grander. Filled eggs are a wonderful choice, with favourites like Cadbury Creme Eggs always well received. You’ll also find filled eggs from Lindt, Reese’s and Oreo eggs available, there’s a choice to suit every taste. The same goes for small Easter eggs and bars of chocolate, too. The limited edition Easter bar, like the Cadbury Dairy Milk Hot Cross Bun Bar, for example, would be a prize worthy of any winner.
Bags of treats are also a great route to go down. Easter stalwarts like Mini Eggs would certainly provide added quizzing motivation! The same goes for bags of sweets and you can also find vegan chocolate eggs, thanks to brands like Moo Free.

1. It was J.S. Fry & Sons Ltd. Now known as Fry’s, they made the first chocolate Easter egg in the UK way back in 1873. It is thought that they existed earlier in France and Germany, then Cadbury made the first hollow egg as we know them two years later in 1875.
2. Because it is always the Sunday after the Paschal full moon. That’s the first full moon after the spring equinox – when day and night are of equal length. In a nod to its link to Easter, this is sometimes referred to as the Egg Moon.
3. Easter Island is a special territory of Chile. It’s 2,200 miles away from the mainland and is the easternmost of the Polynesian islands. It is, of course, famous for the hundreds of Moai stone statues.
4. Digital Easter eggs are little bits of trivia, most commonly hidden in films, TV series and video games. These could be inside jokes, like Stan Lee appearing in Marvel movies, or provide foreshadowing for what’s to come.
5. 20 million packs! They’re a British icon, and they remain popular every year! It is thought that they were first created by a monk in the 12th century, who decorated them with a cross for Good Friday.
6. 1971. The world-famous Creme Egg has been around for over 50 years! Their caramel-filled cousin, the Cadbury Caramel Egg, has been with us since 1994.
7. 500 million. Cadbury only exports a third of them, with two-thirds being enjoyed right here in the UK! And they’re only available between January 1st and Easter Sunday, so they really are popular!
8. The Easter Bunny has its origins in Germany. Initially referred to as the Easter Hare, it was a figure in the German Lutheran Church that decided whether children were well-behaved throughout Easter and delivered eggs and treats from its basket.
9. £75,000! That was for a set of three, but you couldn’t buy them individually. They were made by Choccywoccydoodah – chocolatiers of TV fame. The eggs weighed around 100kg, and the shop’s creations even featured in Tim Burton’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. Sadly, though, the shop closed in 2019 so the eggs are no more.
10. It was Carl Peter Fabergé – hence the term Fabergé Egg. The gift was so incredible that it became a tradition, and Fabergé’s firm produced a grand total of 50 eggs for the Russian Imperial family. 43 of them are accounted for today.
Now your thirst for trivia has been quenched, Wholesale Sweets wishes you a hoppy Easter holiday – and will let you get back to the chocolate!
