Chocolate Stork eggs for Ukraine

Storks appear a lot in Ukrainian folklore -- they are the national bird of Ukraine, a symbol of family, loyalty and patriotism. An old belief has it that a house where a stork nests will be full of affection, well-being and prosperity. 

We are working with The Chocolate Detective on these beautiful chocolate stork eggs to raise money for the DEC Ukraine appeal. Each box contains hand-painted eggs, light sugar shells filled with hazelnut praline and Ecuadorian chocolate.

For every box of eggs sold, £2 will go to the DEC Ukraine Appeal. 

All of The Chocolate Detective’s range is either produced or sourced by founder Chantal Coady, a woman so committed to good chocolate that she’s been awarded with an OBE for services to chocolate making. 

These eggs are made by a French manufacturer: as a small producer Chantal doesn’t have the technology to make the thin sugar shells, but she has been working with them for 40 years. The beans are responsibly sourced from Ecuador and are full traceable.

Weight: 140g. Contains nuts.
