| To farm Chocolate Coins fast in Grow a Garden, plant Candy Carrot or Chocolate Berry seeds in your Easter Garden Plot, apply the Chocolate Sprinkler for the Choc mutation, then sell mutated crops to Alan the Bunny NPC. Run every Egg Hunt every 15 minutes for bonus coins. |
Grow a Garden launched its Easter Event 2026 on April 4 and it immediately became the biggest update the game has had in months. At the center of everything is one new currency: Chocolate Coins, also called Choc Coins by the community.
Every worthwhile reward in this event is locked behind Choc Coins. The Marshmallow Lamb pet (1% drop from the Golden Egg), the Prismatic Eggfruit Seed (50,000 coins), the Candy Blossom that returned in Part 2 – all of it runs through this system. Players who get the farming loop right in the first session will be miles ahead of everyone else by the time the event closes.
This guide gives you the complete picture: what Choc Coins are, every way to earn them, the fastest loop, the best seeds to plant, the Egg Hunt route, the advanced pet methods, and exactly what to spend your coins on and when. Nothing is left out.

Grow a Garden is a tycoon and farming simulation game on Roblox. Players grow crops, apply mutations to boost their value, and sell them for the in-game currency called Sheckles. The game launched in March 2025 and grew into one of the most popular games on the Roblox platform within its first few months.
The game was originally created by Jandel and his team at Splitting Point Studios, also known as Do Big Studios. Jandel and co-developer DJ Jhailatte have since left the development team. The game is now reported to be under the ownership of a developer known as Frazer, with Adrian handling the live Admin Abuse events. The official source for all game updates is the Grow a Garden Discord server, where patch notes are posted every Saturday.
The Easter Event 2026 is the second Easter event the game has run, following the original Easter event in 2025. It represents one of the most significant content drops in the game’s history, introducing a dedicated Easter Garden Plot, a brand new currency system, 10 new pets, 19 new crops, and the Smoldering composite mutation.

| Chocolate Coins (Choc Coins) are the exclusive event currency in the Grow a Garden Easter Event 2026. They are earned by selling Choc-mutated Easter crops to the Bunny NPC, and from Egg Hunt rewards. They cannot be traded between players and are only used in the Easter Event Shop and Golden Egg Shop. |
Choc Coins are completely separate from the standard Sheckle economy and from Trade Tokens. They exist only during the Easter event and have no value after it ends. That time limit is exactly why farming them efficiently matters so much.
| Property | Detail |
| Currency Name | Chocolate Coins / Choc Coins |
| Common Abbreviation | CC |
| How to Earn | Selling Choc-mutated Easter crops to Alan NPC + Egg Hunt rewards |
| Where to Spend | Easter Event Shop (Left Station) and Golden Egg Shop (Tonny) |
| Tradeable Between Players | No – account-bound event currency only |
| Expires After Event | Yes – cannot be used once the Easter event closes |
| Egg Hunt Min Reward | 500 Choc Coins (30% chance) |
| Egg Hunt Max Reward | 5,000 Choc Coins (5% chance) |
| Required for Golden Egg | 25,000 CC (first purchase, price doubles each time) |
| Required for Eggfruit Seed | 50,000 CC |
There are three ways to earn Choc Coins in Grow a Garden. They are not equal. Here is an honest ranking so you know where to put your time.
| Rank | Method | Does It Scale? | Best For | Key Limitation |
| #1 | Selling Choc-Mutated Easter Crops | Yes – scales with sprinklers, seed quality, and fruit size | All players at all stages | Requires Chocolate Sprinkler as a first investment |
| #2 | Egg Hunt (every 15 minutes) | No – fixed reward per round | Early game before Sprinkler is active | Only 500 to 5,000 CC per completion, cannot be compounded |
| #3 | Global Egg Hunt (every 60 minutes) | No – same reward table as standard hunt | Passive bonus income alongside farming | Other players can knock eggs from your hands using shovels |
|
This section is the most important part of the guide. Once you understand this loop and follow the phase order, your Choc Coin income will build on itself naturally. Everything else in this guide is just a way to make this loop run faster.
|
Choosing the right seed at the right stage of your farm makes a real difference to how fast your Choc Coin income compounds. Here is every relevant seed ranked with context.
| Seed | Tier | Cost | Best Feature | When to Plant |
| Candy Carrot | Starter | 10 CC each | Cheapest and fastest-growing Easter seed | Day 1 immediately after buying Chocolate Sprinkler |
| Easter Carrot | Starter | Very Low CC | Alternative if Candy Carrots are out of stock | Day 1 as a substitute for Candy Carrot |
| Chocolate Berry | Mid-Tier | Moderate CC | Higher base value than starter seeds | Once Candy Carrot loop is producing stable output |
| Chocolate Coconut | Mid-Tier | Easter Pack / Shop | Multi-harvest potential with decent Choc Coin value | Mid-game when expanding seed variety |
| Gummy Cactus | Mid-Tier | Easter Pack | Unusual fruit type; good bulk seed for plot coverage | Mid-game alongside Chocolate Berry |
| Sugar Melon | Mid-Tier | Easter Pack | High weight potential – benefits most from Sweet Soaker | Mid-game when using the Melon Method for Jim quests |
| Eggfruit Seed (Easter Eggfruit) | Premium / Prismatic | 50,000 CC | Highest Choc Coin yield per harvest in the entire event | Late-game only when farming base is fully stable |
| Candy Sunflower | Limited Stock | 75,000 Sheckles | Time-limited shop item in regular currency | Only if you have spare Sheckles and the shop has it |
| THE MELON METHOD
The Melon Method is a community farming technique where you maximise fruit weight (KG) on crops submitted to Jim the Venus Flytrap NPC. Sugar Melon and other heavy-fruit seeds combined with the Sweet Soaker Sprinkler give the most Choc Coins per submission because coin yield scales with fruit weight. Always aim for larger fruits over more harvests. |
| The Chocolate Sprinkler is a gear item in Grow a Garden that applies the Choc mutation to Easter crops growing in the Easter Garden Plot. Crops with the Choc mutation have double the base sell value and can be exchanged at the Bunny NPC for Choc Coins. Without the Chocolate Sprinkler, Easter crops cannot generate any Choc Coin income from sales. |
Players who skip buying the Chocolate Sprinkler first and focus on collecting seeds or completing the Jim quest will earn roughly 10 times fewer Choc Coins per hour than players running a proper Sprinkler-based loop. It is not one of several useful purchases. It is the single gate between zero Choc Coin income and actual farming.
| Source | How to Get It | Cost |
| Easter Event Shop | Purchase directly with Choc Coins at the Left Station | Check in-game shop for current CC price |
| Egg Hunt Reward | 15% chance of receiving 2 free Chocolate Sprinklers when you complete a hunt | Free – just collect all 10 eggs |
| Easter Crate | Easter Crates (themselves an Egg Hunt reward) can contain Chocolate Sprinklers | Free via Egg Hunt drop |
|
The standard Egg Hunt runs every 15 minutes on every server. Ten eggs spawn from a pool of over 20 confirmed locations each round. You need all 10 to trigger the reward. The Global Egg Hunt runs every 60 minutes and works differently – players carry up to 3 eggs at once, but other players can knock eggs out of your hands by hitting you with a shovel.
| Reward | Probability | What It Means for Your Farm |
| 500 Choc Coins | 30% | Good early-game boost; covers 50 Candy Carrot seeds |
| 1,000 Choc Coins | 15% | Decent bonus; covers 100 Candy Carrot seeds |
| 2,500 Choc Coins | 18% | Strong reward; meaningful loop acceleration |
| 5,000 Choc Coins | 5% | Rare but excellent; covers early shop purchases |
| 2x Chocolate Sprinklers | 15% | Game-changing early on – saves you the first-purchase cost entirely |
| 1x Easter Crate | 15% | Contains cosmetics and possible event items |
| Golden Egg (rare) | Very low | Best possible outcome – contains one of four Easter pets |
| STRATEGY
Run every Egg Hunt available even after your farming loop is strong. The 15% Sprinkler drop and the low-chance Golden Egg make the 2 to 3 minutes consistently worthwhile throughout the entire event. |
Part 2 of the Easter Event 2026 launched on April 12 and added a significant amount of new content on top of the existing event structure. The core farming loop from Part 1 still works exactly the same way, but there are new things to know.

For players who have access to high-tier mutation pets, there is an advanced technique that multiplies Choc Coin income significantly. This is not required for most players but represents the upper ceiling for dedicated farmers.
| Pet | Ability | Role in This Method |
| Goldfinch | Applies Goldsparkle mutation (x500 value multiplier) – the only mutation it applies | Place in main garden; when Goldsparkle reaches Easter crops via Messenger Pigeon delivery, the value jump is enormous |
| Messenger Pigeon | Every 4 minutes, grabs a random mutation from your garden and delivers it to another player’s random fruit | On a secondary account planted adjacent to your main, it effectively transfers Goldsparkle between accounts as a mutation bridge |
| Mimic Octopus | Can replicate any other pet’s ability | Copies Goldfinch ability for additional Goldsparkle stacking in your garden |
| T-Rex / White Tiger | Divine-tier pets that apply Goldsparkle without needing it present in owner’s garden | Most reliable Goldsparkle source for main garden farming without the Messenger Pigeon complexity |
| HyperHunger Pet Shard | Boosts any pet’s passive ability as long as the pet is above 25% hunger | Apply to Goldfinch or T-Rex to increase Goldsparkle application frequency for faster coin compounding |
|
| Player Type | Use This Method? | Reason |
| Beginner – no mutation pets | No | Focus on the core Candy Carrot loop first. Advanced pets come later |
| Mid-game – has some sprinklers | Maybe | Add Goldfinch to main garden if available; skip the Pigeon setup for now |
| Advanced – has T-Rex or Goldfinch | Yes | Stack Goldsparkle on main garden crops and use Pigeon for cross-garden delivery |
| Streamer or community player | Yes | Messenger Pigeon is excellent for social interaction – helps other players while you benefit from the mutation exchange |
Use this table to set realistic farming goals before you spend. All costs are confirmed from game data as of April 2026.
| Item | Choc Coins Cost | Priority Level | Notes |
| Candy Carrot Seed (each) | 10 CC | First – buy in bulk | Cheapest farming seed; backbone of starter loop |
| Chocolate Sprinkler | Check in-game shop | First – non-negotiable | Without this no crop-based CC income exists at all |
| Gummy Bear Pet | Check shop | Second | Applies Gummy mutation; boosts XP and crop value from main garden |
| Hootsie Roll Pet | Check shop | Third | XP booster for leveling pets faster during the event |
| Golden Egg (1st) | 25,000 CC | Fourth – mid-game | Contains one of four Easter pets including Marshmallow Lamb (1% chance) |
| Golden Egg (2nd) | 50,000 CC | Optional | Price doubles each purchase – plan your budget carefully |
| Golden Egg (3rd) | 100,000 CC | Late-game collectors only | Only worth it if you have a very high hourly CC output |
| Eggfruit Seed (Prismatic) | 50,000 CC | High priority – late-game | Best CC yield per harvest; buy after loop is fully stable |
| Easter Seed Pack | Low CC | Any stage | 9 possible seeds; expands your crop variety cheaply |
| Exotic Easter Seed Pack | 50 Jim quest deliveries | Any stage | Contains Eggfruit at ~0.5% – farm Jim quest consistently |
| Use the Calculator at MyGAGcalculator to find exactly how many harvest cycles or Egg Hunts you need to reach any target item. Enter your hourly CC rate and your goal, and the calculator outputs your estimated time to reach it. |
How you spend matters as much as how fast you earn. The most common event-killing mistake is buying a Golden Egg on day one before the farming base is stable.
| Stage | Your Situation | Spend Here |
| Stage 1 – Day 1 | No Chocolate Sprinkler active | Buy the Chocolate Sprinkler first. Nothing else matters until this is done. |
| Stage 2 – Early Loop | Sprinkler active, farming Candy Carrots | Reinvest into more Candy Carrot seeds and Easter Seed Packs to expand variety |
| Stage 3 – Loop Stable | Consistent income coming in | Buy Gummy Bear pet from shop for mutation stacking in main garden |
| Stage 4 – Scaling | Good hourly CC rate established | Upgrade to Eggfruit Seed (50,000 CC) – biggest single yield upgrade in the event |
| Stage 5 – Peak Farm | Eggfruit loop running with Sprinkler stacked | Buy your first Golden Egg (25,000 CC) and chase Marshmallow Lamb or Easter Bunny |
| Stage 6 – Collector | All key seeds owned and coins surplus | Second Golden Egg and Candy Blossom Shard crafting on the Part 2 sub-island |
| DECISION RULE
If buying an item would leave you with fewer coins than two full seed restocks, hold off. A stalled farm earns nothing. A running farm compounds on itself every cycle. Patience in the spend order is what separates top farmers from stuck ones. |
Pets cannot be placed inside the Easter Garden Plot. All pets go in your main garden. However, pets that apply mutations to main garden crops, boost farming speed, or help with overall progression still contribute meaningfully to your Choc Coin output.

| Pet | Rarity | Ability | Impact on Choc Coins | How to Get |
| Gummy Bear | Legendary (Shop) | Applies Gummy mutation to crops | High – mutation stacking increases crop value in main garden | Easter Event Shop using Choc Coins |
| Marshmallow Lamb | Ultra-Rare (Golden Egg, 1%) | Significant farming passive boost | Very High – rare but powerful passive for overall farming | Golden Egg (1% drop rate) |
| Easter Bunny | Rare (Golden Egg) | Event utility and XP bonus | Medium – speeds up overall event progress | Golden Egg or Egg Hunt (rare) |
| Hootsie Roll | Shop Pet | XP booster | Indirect – levels pets faster for stronger passives | Easter Event Shop |
| Goldfinch | High-Tier | Applies Goldsparkle (x500 multiplier) | Extreme – makes any crop worth massive amounts when sold | Trader / Market trades |
| Chocolate Bunny | Uncommon (Golden Egg, 55%) | Choc Chomper – spreads Choc mutation from Carrot plants to two other fruits | Medium – useful passive spread in main garden | Golden Egg (55% chance – most common drop) |
| Cerberus | Rare (Golden Egg) | Defensive pet with event passive | Low to Medium – useful in certain setups | Golden Egg |
| Messenger Pigeon | Rare (Trader) | Delivers mutations to other players’ crops every 4 minutes | High in advanced dual-account setups | Farmer’s Market Trader (3.36% chance at Streak 25+) |
| Mimic Octopus | High-Tier | Replicates any pet’s ability | Extreme when copying Goldfinch or T-Rex | Trader / Market |
| T-Rex | Divine-Tier | Applies Goldsparkle without needing it in owner’s garden | Extreme – top-tier mutation applicator | Rare egg hatching or market trades |
| XP FARMING NOTE
If your goal is to level pets quickly during the event, RBH Dilo (Rainbow Huge Dilo) remains the strongest XP pet in the current meta. The Easter Bunny pet is useful but does not outperform RBH Dilo for straight XP farming. HyperHunger Pet Shards introduced in November 2025 can boost any pet’s passive as long as it is above 25% hunger – apply these to your Goldfinch or T-Rex for faster mutation application during the event. |
| Mistake | Why It Hurts | The Fix |
| Buying a Golden Egg on Day 1 | Spends 25,000 CC before the farming base is stable – stalls the entire loop | Wait until Stage 4 or 5 in the priority framework above |
| Skipping Egg Hunts | Misses the 15% free Chocolate Sprinkler chance and bonus CC every 15 minutes | Run every hunt regardless of how strong your farm already is |
| Planting Easter seeds in the main garden | Easter-named seeds cannot grow in the regular garden – wasted seeds | Always switch to the Easter 2026 Plot before planting any Easter seeds |
| Not placing the Chocolate Sprinkler | Crops grow and are harvested for zero Choc Coins without it | Buy the Sprinkler first and place it immediately after purchase |
| Spending all coins without reinvesting | One bad cycle breaks the loop if there is no seed buffer | Keep 60% of earned CC flowing back into seeds at all times |
| Ignoring Jim the Venus Flytrap | Missing free Exotic Easter Seed Packs from 50 deliveries – each has an Eggfruit chance | Submit every single harvest to Jim as part of the standard selling routine |
| Trying to place pets in the Easter Garden | Pets simply do not work there – no passive abilities apply inside the Easter Plot | Place all pets in main garden only |
| Buying Eggfruit too early | Eggfruit is slow-growing – without a fast backup loop, income stops while waiting | Treat Eggfruit as a Stage 4 upgrade after the core loop is fully stable |
| Ignoring Gold variant fruits | Gold variants significantly multiply sell value – leaving them unharvested wastes coins | Prioritise harvesting Gold variant fruits first in each cycle |
| The Grow a Garden Easter Event 2026 Part 1 ran from April 4 to April 11, 2026. Part 2 launched on April 12, 2026. The exact end date for Part 2 has not been officially confirmed by the development team as of the publish date of this guide. |
Part 1 of the Easter Event ran from Saturday April 4 to Saturday April 11, 2026. Part 2 launched immediately after on April 12. Grow a Garden updates follow a weekly Saturday patch cycle, which means the event will most likely end on a Saturday when the next major update goes live.

| Easter Event 2026 Part 1 | April 4, 2026 at 1:00 PM PDT | April 11, 2026 | Closed |
| Easter Event 2026 Part 2 | April 12, 2026 | TBC – check official Discord | Active at time of writing |

Plant Candy Carrot or Chocolate Berry seeds in your Easter Garden Plot, apply the Chocolate Sprinkler to give crops the Choc mutation, then sell harvested crops to Alan the Bunny NPC at the Right Station on the event island. Supplement every 15 minutes with a completed Egg Hunt. The crop selling loop is the only Choc Coin source that scales with investment.
Completing an Egg Hunt rewards one random item. The Choc Coin outcomes are: 500 coins at 30% probability, 1,000 coins at 15%, 2,500 coins at 18%, and 5,000 coins at 5%. You can also receive 2 free Chocolate Sprinklers (15%), 1 Easter Crate (15%), or rarely a Golden Egg from a single completed hunt.
No. Pets cannot be placed in the Easter Garden Plot. All pets must go in your main garden. The only mutation tool available inside the Easter Garden is the Chocolate Sprinkler gear item. Pet abilities that apply mutations, like the Gummy Bear, only affect main garden crops.
The first Golden Egg costs 25,000 Choc Coins from Tonny’s Golden Egg Shop on the left sub-island. Each next purchase doubles in price: 50,000 for the second, 100,000 for the third. Golden Eggs can also be bought with Robux or Trade Tokens if you prefer to skip the farming grind.
Grow a Garden was originally created by Jandel and his team at Splitting Point Studios (also known as Do Big Studios) on Roblox. The game launched in March 2025. Jandel and co-developer DJ Jhailatte have since left the team. The game is now reported to be under new ownership by a developer called Frazer, with Admin Abuse events typically run by Adrian.
The Marshmallow Lamb is the rarest pet from the Golden Egg, with a 1% drop rate. The other possible pets are: Chocolate Bunny (55% – most common), Easter Egg Chick, Cerberus, and Easter Bunny. The Egg Hunt is the only free repeatable source of Golden Eggs in the event.
Smoldering is the first composite mutation ever added to Grow a Garden. It was introduced during the Easter Event 2026 and combines the properties of two existing mutation types into a single effect. This makes it one of the rarest mutations currently in the game. It was listed among the 6 new mutations added in the Easter 2026 patch alongside the Choc and Gummy mutations.
In Easter Part 2, Candy Blossom is obtainable through a crafting mechanic on the sub-island. You need one Golden Egg and one Candy Blossom Shard. Submit both to the sub-island NPC to receive one Candy Blossom Seed. The Candy Blossom Shard drops from the Golden Egg loot pool, so farming enough Choc Coins for multiple Golden Eggs gives you the best chance of getting one.
The HyperHunger Pet Shard was introduced in the Smithing Event in November 2025. It boosts a pet’s passive ability as long as the pet stays above 25% hunger. For Choc Coin farming purposes, applying HyperHunger to a Goldfinch or T-Rex increases how often they apply the Goldsparkle mutation (x500 multiplier) to your crops. Keep the pet fed above 25% at all times for the bonus to stay active.
| Q: How do you get Chocolate Coins in Grow a Garden?
Plant Easter crops in your Easter Garden Plot, apply the Chocolate Sprinkler to trigger the Choc mutation, then sell the mutated crops to Alan the Bunny NPC at the Right Station. You also earn Choc Coins from completing Egg Hunts every 15 minutes on any server. |
| Q: What is the Chocolate Sprinkler in Grow a Garden?
The Chocolate Sprinkler is a gear item that applies the Choc mutation (a 2x value multiplier) to Easter crops in the Easter Garden Plot. Without it, Easter crops produce zero Choc Coin income from sales. Buy it as your very first event shop purchase. |
| Q: How much does a Golden Egg cost in Grow a Garden?
The first Golden Egg costs 25,000 Chocolate Coins from Tonny’s Golden Egg Shop. Every purchase after that doubles: 50,000 for the second, 100,000 for the third. Golden Eggs contain four possible Easter pets including the Marshmallow Lamb at 1% drop rate. |
| Q: How often does the Egg Hunt start in Grow a Garden Easter 2026?
A standard Egg Hunt begins every 15 minutes on each server. A Global Egg Hunt runs every 60 minutes and allows other players to knock eggs from your hands using shovels. Collecting all 10 eggs in a round earns one random reward from the event loot table. |
| Q: What is the best starter seed for Choc Coin farming in Grow a Garden?
Candy Carrot is the best starter seed at just 10 Choc Coins each from the Easter Seed Shop. It grows fast and is the cheapest way to build your initial Choc Coin farming loop. Upgrade to Chocolate Berry and eventually Eggfruit Seed as your farm scales. |
| Q: Who developed Grow a Garden on Roblox?
Grow a Garden was developed by Jandel and his team at Splitting Point Studios (also called Do Big Studios) on Roblox. The game launched in March 2025. Jandel has since left the team. The game is now reported to be owned by a developer called Frazer. |
The Grow a Garden Easter Event 2026 runs on one economy and that economy is Chocolate Coins. Every rare item, every pet, every end-game goal flows through the Choc Coin system. The players who build their farming loop correctly from the first session will have multiple Golden Eggs hatched and a full Easter shop by the time casual players reach their first 25,000 coins.
The loop itself is simple. The only thing that makes it complicated is spending coins in the wrong order or skipping the Egg Hunts while waiting for crops. Follow the phase system, reinvest before you splurge, and run every hunt. That is the whole strategy.
