It may not be a holiday in a distant land, but chocolate certainly brings a smile to our faces here at Compers News!
And it'll be no surprise to compers who keep abreast of seasonal competition opportunities that there's plenty of the sweet stuff on offer at the moment in choc-tastic Easter give-aways.
Here are just a handful - including one Easter-time comp that actually could see you heading off on an exotic holiday if you win!
First-up: chocolate brand Thorntons is likely to be the place that lots of us head this Easter to get our eggs or other little treats for the kids - or ourselves!
At the moment, What's on TV has a comp underway with the prize of a family-size collection of Easter treats on offer for five readers.
The prize features £100 worth of Easter goodies, such as Harry Hopalot bunnies (chocolate creations, not pets!) and, of course, chocolate eggs.
There's a question to answer and entry form to fill out in this online comp, currently featuring on a range of magazine websites and closing April 10th according to the terms and conditions.
Another choc-tastic brand, Hotel Chocolat, where lots of us are sure to be browsing in the run up to April 20th (the big day, in case anyone out there hadn't realised!), is running a great Easter competition on its website.
This has a closing date of April 10th this year, and another £100 value prize.
The brand says it's celebrating its latest Easter range by running a comp in which someone will get £100 to spend online on its website.
We've rarely seen an online competition entry form that's quite as streamlined as the one for this comp - all it asks is for a name, an email address! Bliss!
Whoever wins is set to receive a special code to use on a single online shopping trip with the brand.
Now, being keen choc fans we've looked into some of the treats on offer on the site… Let's just say it made us more than a bit peckish!
The brand is also promoting a creative competition for people over 13 with the prize of a £50 Easter hamper, which is taking place on Facebook.
Meanwhile, there's a Lindt Gold Bunny comp underway until April 27th according to the on-site T&Cs.
The big prize is a holiday which can be up to the value of a massive £10,000. If you win you get to decide where you want to go and for how long - as well as other aspects of the trip - making this a very exciting chance to win a holiday indeed!
Entry is via codes on Lindt Gold Bunnies, which can be uploaded to the special gold bunny website.
When it comes to prizes for runners-up, the competition is offering chocolate filled soft-toy bunnies for 250 winners.
Finally, it might not be anything to do with chocolate, but it's just so cute! So we had to include this Meadowhall Build a Bear comp with an Easter collection Soft and Sweet Lamb toy as the prize.
You have to register with the Meadowhall site to enter, and the competition closes on April 27th.
Have you ever won anything chocolate-tastic in the past? Was it in a comp that came up around Easter or at another time of year? Let us know and make us all hungry for something sweet!
Be sure to look out for Easter competitions while you're on social media, looking at brand websites or searching the web - you never know what might come up - and if you don't enter, you'll never win!
