If there’s one flavour showing no signs of going away, it’s pistachio. With plenty of pistachio-based Easter treats hitting supermarket shelves for 2026, I’ve sampled a selection to find the year’s best pistachio eggs.
Pistachio has long been a favourite for adding richness and crunch to sweet treats, but the viral Dubai chocolate bar – first created by FIX Chocolatier in 2022 – took things to another level. Packed with pistachio cream and knafeh pastry, it quickly sparked a wave of imitators and turned the flavour into a full-blown trend. Since then, pistachio has been everywhere, reimagined in everything from chocolate bars and truffles to protein snacks – and now, of course, Easter eggs.
While putting together IndyBest’s guide to the best Easter eggs for 2026, I’ve tasted my way through a wide range of pistachio creations, and a few genuinely stand out. Whether you’re shopping for a gift or simply leaning into the nutty obsession yourself, here’s a round-up of the best pistachio Easter eggs you can pick up in supermarkets this year.

M&S extra thick pistachio and milk chocolate egg
Best: pistachio Easter egg overall
Weight: 485g
Why we love it
- Silky chocolate
- Thick shell
Take note
- Expensive
This pistachio Easter egg from M&S really raises the bar this year – and not just in the nut category. It’s a silky, heavy and elegantly presented egg, and as I noted in my review “it comes in a beautiful navy and lime green hat-box-like container finished with a ribbon which, after taking the lid off, reveals an elegant egg standing up like it deserves some sort of ovation”. The pistachio is sweet but well-balanced when combined with the high-quality milk chocolate. Plus, the shell is adorned with whole and chopped roasted pistachios.

Asda exceptional pistachio and himalayan salt white chocolate egg
Best: white chocolate pistachio Easter egg
Weight: 200g
Why we love it
- Generous amount of salt to balance sweetness
- Nibs throughout
Take note
- Not as high quality chocolate as others
Despite expecting overly sweet things from this white chocolate and pistachio egg, I was happily proved wrong with a heavy hand taken to the Himalayan salt. The shell is truly chock-full of the nuts, with pistachio nut paste and roasted chopping pistachios bringing the flavour. The egg is also beautifully presented with hand-decorated lime green drizzle.

M&S the big daddy pistachio loaded half egg
Best: loaded pistachio Easter egg
Weight: 315g
Why we love it
- Varied texture
- Weighty egg
Take note
- Caramel overwhelms the pistachio flavour
While I preferred the peanut iteration of the loaded half egg from M&S, for pistachio lovers this is the one for you. In an Easter spin of the supermarket’s viral big daddy pistachio bar, the loaded half egg pairs the nut with soft caramel, chewy caramel pieces and roasted pistachio chunks.
Compared to other pistachio treats, I didn’t find the flavour all that nutty but the textures are on point, as is the creativity.

What is the best pistachio Easter egg?
The extra thick pistachio Easter egg from M&S sets a new standard this year. Luxurious, substantial, and beautifully presented – it’s a showstopper. The pistachio flavour is delightfully sweet yet balanced, perfectly complementing the rich, high-quality milk chocolate. Whole and chopped roasted pistachios on the shell add extra crunch and nutty depth. From its presentation to its taste, this egg delivers on every level, making it my standout pick for pistachio perfection.
