While we do normally adhere strictly to 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 - we're sure you'll agree that they are worth the little detour!
All packaging is designed and made in the UK.
