Old Cotswold Legbar Chocolate Eggs
Everyone loves a show-off hen and the Old Cotswold Legbar is exactly that. First bred back in the early 1900s from Leghorn and Barred stock, she struts around in her smart little coat like she owns the place. No actual chickens were involved in the creation of these beautiful chocolate eggs, but the handpainted sugar shells filled with hazelnut ganache certainly look the part. These are a gorgeous treat and make a wonderful gift.
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.
