Indulgent treats make their UK debut for Easter ‘26

Speciality food importer and distributor Empire Bespoke Foods has launched its first-ever Easter range, featuring an egg-citing line-up of biscuits, chocolates, and luxury seasonal treats from leading European bakeries and confectioners.

Highlights of the deliciously indulgent Easter 2026 collection include hand-iced and generously-sized, individually-wrapped shortbread bunnies, eggs and chicks from the family-owned German manufacturer Pertzborn, sugar- and chocolate-glazed Easter rabbits from the long-established Wicklein bakery, an Easter lantern containing Allerlei (soft gingerbread) biscuits, and gift boxes of assorted Italian Vergani luxury chocolate pralines. All are suitable for vegetarian diets.

“This unique selection of Easter treats has been expertly curated from the very best German and Italian bakeries and confectioners to help retailers offer something different to their usual Easter ranges,” commented Edward Rayment, E-Commerce Manager at Empire Bespoke Foods.

“The shortbread biscuits from Pertzborn are particularly appealing, not only because they are iced in lovely pastel colours, but also because of their generous size, ranging from 7-18cm tall! These enchanting treats are guaranteed to bring a little easter magic to your shelves, while offering consumers something completely different to the norm.

“We’re excited to be bringing them to the UK for the first time, and are confident they will be hugely popular with consumers, which is why we’ve launched them early in anticipation of high demand.”
