What to do with Chocolate leftover from Easter?
April 28, 2025

In the UK we eat an estimated 660,900 tonnes of chocolate a year, an average of 11kg per person per year and significantly more than our European neighbours. We waste around 3.6% of that total, and approximately 24,000 tonnes of chocolate and sweets find their way to the bin each year.
For some people leftover chocolate may not be something they worry about. However, if you receive an excess of chocolate this Easter, we thought you might appreciate some tips to help you make the most of your stash.
