Eighties kids were spoiled for choice when it came to choosing Easter eggs, as confectionery manufacturers like Cadbury's, Rowntree's and Mackintosh's all released exciting and inventive new eggs year after year.
From eggs packaged to look like fire engines to ones filled with tasty toffees and treats, there was something for all ages and tastes, and while some of these have evolved over the last four decades, others, unfortunately, no longer exist.
With Easter fast approaching, let's take a walk down memory lane with a look back at some iconic 1980s Easter eggs. How many of these do you remember?

The Quality Street Easter egg was popular in the 1980s
Quality Street
For many of us, Christmas isn't complete without a tin of Quality Street, and back in the 1980s, the favourite chocolate selection became an Easter essential too. Mackintosh's Quality Street Easter egg from 1984 featured a chocolate egg filled with miniature chocolates and toffees and striking packaging.
2/6
The Milk Tray egg was one of the most popular of 1985
Cadbury's Milk Tray
Another favourite chocolate selection that was transformed into a popular Easter egg was Cadbury's Milk Tray. According to the advertising, this egg - adorned with illustrations of monkeys - was the top selling assortment egg in 1985.

They don't make Yorkie Easter eggs like this anymore
Yorkie
Packaged in boxes to look like fire engines and trucks, they don't make Easter eggs like this anymore! Yorkie chocolate still maintains popularity today, and while you can still get a couple of varieties of their chocolate Easter eggs, their packaging is not as fun as it was back in the eighties.

After Eight Easter eggs are still available today
After Eight
A sophisticated Easter choice was Nestlé's After Eight egg, which was launched in 1984. Featuring a clock from the classic after-dinner mint chocolate's logo on the box, these eggs are still a popular choice today, but have evolved from their eighties heyday.

Creme Egg Easter eggs have been a favourite for decades
Cadbury's Creme Egg
Cadbury's Creme Eggs are an Easter staple, but it was only in 1985 that they were released with an Easter egg for the first time. Featuring a milk chocolate egg with two Creme Eggs, this exciting addition was another popular choice for kids.

This chocolate assortment was also available in Easter egg form
Dairy Box
Dairy Box chocolate assortment boxes are a classic that you'll still find in supermarkets today, but you will no longer find their Easter eggs. This milk chocolate egg was filled with a selection of small chocolates, and packed in a pretty floral-designed box.
