12 Chocolate Eggs, 6 filled with a fine hazelnut praline and 6 with a subtle salted caramel. A layer of milk and dark chocolate is filled with caramel or praline and then wrapped in a fine sugar shell and life-like speckles. Please note that colour combinations may vary seasonally.
These delicious eggs are made with buttery salted caramel and ganache, and the use of a touch of ‘fleur de sel’ salt in the caramel intensifies the flavour.
“Britain’s tiny pocket-sized powerhouse, the Wren may be small in stature but is astonishingly bold in character. Tail cocked jauntily, he zips through hedgerows like a brown, feathered spark. His song, however, is his true marvel – a sudden, explosive torrent of trills and whistles far too big for such a diminutive frame.”

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.
