Bites: Want to be a winner? Eat chocolate

It's Easter Day and if you haven't already consumed your body weight in chocolate, what better day to get out and celebrate with a saccharine hit?

East London riverside pub L'Oasis is giving out free Italian chocolate Easter eggs to anyone indulging in its Easter Sunday roast, while Claridge's in Mayfair is offering Valrhona Easter eggs hand-crafted by its own pastry chefs to anyone popping in for afternoon tea. Executive chef Andrew Turner at the Landau restaurant at the Langham Hotel, will also be dishing out complimentary chocolate eggs, but he has taken it one step further. Fancying himself in the Willy Wonka role, Turner has inserted winning vouchers into four eggs – the top prize is three nights at its sister Langham restaurant in Pasadena, California.

But if that's all too tasteful, you could try getting your hands on Krispy Kreme's Easter range, which features three doughnuts – coffee swirl, Belgian chocolate (pictured) and black forest – each one as over-the-top and indulgent as the next.
