Let your chocolate do the travelling this Easter 2020. 

Experiencing cabin fever? Wishing your regional Easter escape wasn’t cancelled? Us too. But this year, instead of popping out of town, let out of town pop into your place, specifically your mouth.

Sound weird? Maybe a little, but you can take a (metaphorical) trip by ordering your Easter chocolate delivery from artisan chocolatiers around country New South Wales. Albeit, from the comfort of your couch thanks to the magic of online ordering.

Chocolate (tick), countryside fix (tick), helping small businesses (tick) – so what are you waiting for?

Explore our top five picks for where to buy New South Wales artisan chocolates online this Easter weekend:
