Easter eggs with tropical flavours
EASTER this year brings a delicious reason to celebrate in Far North Queensland, as Charley’s Chocolate Factory unveils its latest seasonal collection of handcrafted chocolates.
Nestled in the heart of the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics near Mission Beach, Charley’s is much more than a chocolate maker – it’s been a visionary regional success story since a run-down banana farm was transformed into one of Australia’s most awarded tree-to-bar chocolate producers.
The business grows and processes cocoa right on its 160ha Mt Edna property, where rich volcanic soils, abundant rain and warm tropical sunshine combine to create perfect conditions for premium cocoa cultivation.
For Easter, Charley’s has crafted a vibrant range of seasonal treats, featuring beautifully moulded bunnies and playful 2D eggs in both milk and dark chocolate variations. Each piece showcases the distinct character of locally grown and Pacific-sourced cocoa, tempered and finished by hand to deliver a smooth texture and tropical flavour notes that reflect their unique provenance.
Charley’s commitment to quality extends beyond taste.
From its sustainable plantation practices to its immersive chocolate tours and tastings, the business celebrates both the artistry and the agricultural heart of chocolate making. Visitors to the Mission Beach site can experience the journey from cocoa tree to finished bar firsthand, learning about each stage of production and sampling award-winning chocolate along the way.
The Easter eggs products include:
Charley’s 52% milk chocolate 2D Easter egg with hundreds and thousands. This playful 2D Easter egg is crafted from smooth 52% single origin milk chocolate, made bean-to-bar in Mission Beach using cocoa grown on Karkar Island, Papua New Guinea. Creamy, caramelly and perfectly balanced, this milk chocolate has a rich cocoa depth without losing that melt-in-your-mouth sweetness. It’s topped with a joyful shower of hundreds and thousands for a pop of colour, a little crunch and a whole lot of nostalgia.
Charley’s 70% Karkar Island dark chocolate and salted caramel 2D Easter egg. Bold, smooth and beautifully balanced – this 2D Easter egg pairs a rich 70% single origin dark chocolate with golden shards of salted caramel for the ultimate sweet-meets-savoury indulgence. It delivers deep cocoa intensity with subtle fruity undertones and a clean, lingering finish. The addition of buttery salted caramel creates pockets of crunch and a touch of pink Murray River salt that enhances the natural complexity of the chocolate.
Charley’s 52% milk chocolate and pistachio 2D Easter egg. Smooth, creamy and just a little bit fancy – this 2D Easter egg brings together luscious milk chocolate and the irresistible crunch of roasted pistachios. The addition of premium pistachios adds a delicate nuttiness and gentle crunch that perfectly complements the chocolate’s natural sweetness.
Charley’s 2D roasted macadamia dark chocolate Easter egg 70% single origin dark chocolate. Handcrafted in Mission Beach, Queensland, this premium Easter egg is made from single origin Trinitario/Amazonia cocoa beans sourced from Madang Province, Papua New Guinea. The flavour is rich and earthy with natural fruity notes – a bold dark chocolate experience that pairs beautifully with the crunch of freshly roasted Australian macadamia pieces.
