Blackbird Chocolate Eggs
Lying by an open window and listening to a blackbird singing is one of our favourite small pleasures in the spring. Now we can enhance it with this box of 12 hand painted chocolate blackbird* eggs . Each delicate sugar shell is filled a hazelnut praline.
*obviously no actual blackbirds were harmed etc etc
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.
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. Chantal’s business model aims to keep more of the business of chocolate, and therefore more of the money, in the country’s where the beans originate.
