The Alternative Easter Gift Guide

*I was gifted the items in exchange for this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Last year I shared with you my Easter gift guide full of chocolately goodness. But this year, as we are trying to eat more healthily I’ve thought I would share with you and alternative Easter gift guide. With little Dottie turning 1 years old in just over a week, it’s time for me to shift some baby weight. Mr B has already been cutting out chocolate and other sugary snacks and has lost over 2 stone. The girls will be having a small egg each, it is Easter after all! But here are some other gift ideas for you.

Pear & Chocolate Colomba

Instead of giving an Easter egg this year, why not go for an alternative foodie gift such as this Pear and Chocolate Colomba? It’s an Italian Easter cake studded with juicy pieces of candied Williams pear. The finishing touch is an indulgent white chocolate topping with dark chocolate chips.

Colomba di Pasqua, or ‘Easter Doves’, are traditional dove-shaped Italian Easter cakes. Colomba is traditionally made with yeast and eggs, like panettone, but are topped with sugar icing or chocolate. Colomba undergo a quadruple-leavening process to make the finished cake exceptionally light and airy.
