These are the most charming chocolate eggs you will find, and a perfectly indulgent gift for someone special! A beautifully illustrated box filled with a dozen delicious "Cuckoo" chocolate eggs, made in France with either a delicate hazelnut praline or a salted caramel ganache, and Ecuadorian origin chocolate.
"The crafty cuckoo steals onto other bird's nests and lays an impostor egg. They're even more famous for their unmistakable call echoing through woodland in the spring."
With artwork by Madeleine Floyd, illustrator of the beautiful book ‘Birdsong’, each box is a work of art in itself before you even open it!
Each box contains 12 dark milk chocolate eggs filled with salted caramel ganache and hazelnut praline.

Despite our Made In The UK ethos, these eggs are made in France, as no chocolate maker in the UK can make the eggs to the Chocolate Detective's exacting standards, so she had to source from a maker from our near neighbours. All packaging is designed and made in the UK.
