Easter Treats to Cost More as Chocolate and Egg Prices Surge

Easter celebrations will come with a higher price tag this year, as chocolate treats and eggs see sharp price increases.

According to an analysis by Kupi.cz, the cost of Easter chocolates has risen by as much as 20% compared to last year, with some items even doubling in price.

One of the most striking price hikes is Orion’s Chocolate Bunny with M&Ms. The 85-gram treat, which sold for 42.90 crowns last year, now retails at 89.90 crowns—a staggering 110% increase.

Even at a discount, the price remains 68% higher than in 2023. Meanwhile, not all confectionery has seen such dramatic jumps; Milka’s filled chocolate eggs (128g) have remained relatively stable, with only a modest 4% increase in promotional pricing.

Egg prices have also soared. A pack of ten now costs around 68 crowns, nearly 10% more than in February and about 50% higher than the same period last year.

The increase is largely attributed to bird flu outbreaks in coastal European countries and the United States, which have led to supply shortages.

Despite rising costs, shopping expert Monika Kopčilová advises consumers to watch for sales.

Discounts of around 28% are common in the weeks leading up to Easter, with some prices dropping by as much as 50% just before the holiday.
