Product description from their website:
Indulge in our exquisite Ashmolean Kingfisher Chocolate Eggs, a delightful assortment of premium hazelnut praline and salted caramel centres encased in smooth speckled chocolate. Ideal for chocolate connoisseurs seeking something beyond the ordinary.
These chocolate bird eggs have been created as a special collaboration between the Chocolate Detective and the Ashmolean Museum combining delicious ethical and sustainable chocolate with original artwork from the Museum's collections.
Each box contains 12 chocolate eggs, 6 filled with a fine hazelnut praline and 6 with a subtle salted caramel. Layers of milk and dark chocolate are filled with caramel or praline and then wrapped in a fine sugar shell and life-like speckles.
Every speckled egg is crafted to celebrate the season with sophisticated flavour combinations that balance rich sweetness with subtle saline notes. Perfect for Easter gifting or as a personal indulgence, these artisanal eggs offer a moment of refined pleasure.
Comes beautifully packaged, taking inspiration from traditional egg cartons, these speckled chocolate eggs feature John Ruskin's artwork, Study of a Kingfisher.
Please note: individual egg colours may vary.
