Edible Easter Luxury from Hotel Chocolat

This Easter luxury cocoa grower and chocolatier Hotel Chocolat has taken the iconic egg and explored the beauty of its form in many different guises. From grown-up indulgence to treats for children, the sophisticated range provides a hedonistic feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Inspired by the work of talented 20th century British artist Paul Nash, the central theme of the design is an organic and fluid floral pattern which flows and wraps around the seductive egg shape. Opulent black and gold foiling meets fresh, bright pastels in a collection that personifies edible luxury itself. Here’s a selection of our favourites: The Facet Egg- Dark An Easter egg so striking, it’s almost a shame it crack it open – but it gets even better when you do. Uniquely styled and deliciously created in 70% dark chocolate. Crack an egg, and watch the splinters spread out across the surface. Each line is independent, making its own journey across the microscopic landscape of the shell, leaving jagged lines and complex shapes behind it as it goes. Our Facet Egg captures this with a dazzling geometry emerging like a jewelled face from an otherwise smooth shell, challenging what you expect from an Easter egg and pushing the boundaries of how we work with our chosen medium: chocolate. Also available in milk. 200g Alcohol Free £20.00 Ostrich Egg half and half Truly enormous shells, one 50% milk with crispy feuilletine, and one 70% dark chocolate, studded with almonds, filled with an exciting collection of 29 milk and dark chocolates – for the very best of both worlds 1.1kg Contains alcohol £75.00 Extra Thick Egg- Rocky Road One cookie textured shell and one caramel milk chocolate shell filled with an array of crispy textured chocolates with gorgeous caramel flavour notes.
