The Egg Race!

At the starting line, our Chef Nicolas Cloiseau* takes us on a sack race against the clock and kicks off the 2024 egg hunt.

1,2,3, Easter, go! Put on your canvas bag and off you go.

Its champions take up the challenge with their customary good-naturedness. On the track, the good and the beautiful gain ground. Chocolate leads the race and reconciles everyone with sport.

This Easter, La Maison du Chocolat is dedicating a beautiful team story to all fans... of chocolate!

The Easter Collection will be available in stores and on the website from March 5, 2024.

TIME-TRIAL EGG

Somewhere between a sack race and a time trial, the giant egg timer invites the precious time of chocolate craftsmanship to win every challenge.

Nicolas Cloiseau's gourmet take on top-level athletes is a smiling companion to major sporting events. Here, the rules are played with, the competition lines move, and the opponents, in their white chocolate lanes, race down an athletics track covered in cocoa nibs.

In 20 seconds 24, the stopwatch ticks off 450 perforations as the runners defend their chocolate colors on the 160 cm course. 1,2,3, Easter, go!

NEW 2024 : GANACHE EGG SHELL

Like an "egg shell" to be peeled, the Ganache Egg Shell reminds us of all the chocolate subtlety of the Maison's DNA.

Imagine, beneath a real eggshell, a fine dark chocolate coating enclosing a supple, silky 63% pure Peruvian chocolate ganache with notes of dark fruit. We love the chocolate intensity, the incomparable melt-in-your-mouth texture and the signature long finish.

Cut up or eat with a spoon.

13€ per 60g piece

HAZELNUT AND PEANUT EGG BOUCHÉE

In a chocolate gesture designed to cajole young and old alike, the Egg Bouchée, in hazelnut (new in 2024) or peanut versions, is a perfect Easter pirouette.

We love this melt-in-the-mouth bite of praline with fleur de sel coated in puffed chocolate, its centimetre of pure indulgence with a praline heart is a must for egg hunters. Dressed in Easter colors, the crunchy chocolate decoration contrasts with the extremely melting interior.

Hazelnut or peanut bunny? Pull the ears of your favorite morsel.

OEUF COQUILLE

Tel un « œuf coque » à écaler, l’Œuf Coquille nous rappelle la gourmandise des plaisirs simples.

Imaginez sous la véritable coquille d’œuf, une fine couverture de chocolat noir renfermant du praliné amande/noisette au caramel très cuit, dévoilant des notes de fruits secs caramélisés et des inclusions de noisettes hachées.

Pâques par nature, à découper, dévorer ou grignoter à la petite cuillère.
