After delighting dog-lovers with a chocolate treat in the form of Curly the cockapoo in its Easter 2023 collection, Marks and Spencer is adding to the animal magic this year, with a chocolate Flossy the Highland cow.

While the retailer may be famous for Percy The Pig and Colin the Caterpillar, Flossy has now joined the confectionary menagerie, along with a range of new shaped chocolate creations, released ahead of Easter Sunday (31 March).

With textured milk chocolate shaped like thick fur, Flossy’s face will melt even the hardest of hearts, and cause both adults and children to coo at how cute she is. Who could resist those large, dark chocolate eyes and ruby pink chocolate nose? She’s (almost) too special to eat.

The edible bovine beauty is available to buy online or in store alongside a range of equally unique chocolate finds, such as Coco the kitten (£6, Ocado.com), Dougal the puppy (£6, Ocado.com) and even a vegan Charlie the bunny (£6, Ocado.com).

Whether it’s for a special prize at the end of an Easter egg hunt or to make someone you love smile, Flossy the Highland cow makes a fun alternative to egg-shaped chocolate. Here’s everything we know about the milk-chocolate masterpiece, plus the other novelty eggs with which to celebrate the season.
