It's Easter Sunday and for those of you in Oxfordshire who've been out buying Easter eggs, you may have paid a visit to Wicked Chocolate.

Wicked chocolate is a chocolate emporium tucked away in Oxford's thriving covered market.

It sells chocolate from over 20 different countries around the world and is run by Graham MacDonald and his wife Jenny who also happen to own a Gelato shop located elsewhere in the covered market.

Earlier in the week we asked Graham why those with a sweet tooth should visit Wicked Chocolate and he said: "We sell things that are different, we don't stock the things you'll get in the high street we stock things made by small independent retailers."

"It might cost you a bit more money, but the quality is far superior."

Many shoppers have also noticed a significant increase to the price of Easter eggs and despite the obvious cost of living crisis Graham was able to tell us the real reason for this.

"There's been a massive problem with coco harvest this year, so people should expect to see prices rise significantly."

Despite the slightly rise in price Graham had anticipated a busy weekend suggesting that Easter being early this year could cause a mad rush.

"Easter is a very big period for us, I think this weekend there will be a bit of a panic going on and I just hope we've got sufficient stock to deal with that panic buying".
