Crunchy praline, melting milk chocolate, intense dark chocolate, soft white chocolate… Since 1761, À la Mère de Famille has preserved and enriched an exceptional confectionery heritage and has more than one chocolate candy in its boxes to make your grandmother melt. Pssst, while you’re here, you could also get ahead of the Grandfathers’ Day celebrations, as gourmand as these ladies are!
Our good ideas for choosing your chocolate gift for Grandmothers’ Day
Hard to choose which of our different creations will make your grandmother melt? Here are a few suggestions to help you find a chocolate gift as sweet as she is. All our recipes are made with our own chocolate coating, in our factory in Tours. Because we have a taste for things done well from start to finish, we select our own cocoa beans from carefully chosen producers. The blend is then made by our artisan chocolatiers to obtain unique aromas that take you away from the first bite.
Give her a heart this big
What better way to say “I love you” to your grandmother than to give her a chocolate heart (almost) as big as the love you have for her? Our lovely heart-shaped mold, adorned with a delicate four-heart clover decoration, hides an assortment of almond-hazelnut praline chocolates, one of the House’s iconic specialties, and an assortment of almonds and hazelnuts coated in a milk chocolate or dark chocolate coating.
And because in love, we like to dream big, we offer two sizes of hearts: a cute 160 g milk chocolate heart, and a (very) big 420 g dark chocolate heart for even more sweetness to share.
Little hearts, little hearts, more little hearts
Do you want to give your dear Grandma as many signs of love as she has given you since childhood? Opt for our pretty bag of praline hearts, where you can dip in to enjoy them together. These ultra-gourmand little hearts in our signature milk or dark chocolate are filled with praline, a House specialty. They owe their inimitable taste to traditional preparation methods, notably cold grinding, which enhances the flavors of the caramelized nuts. A delight you’ll want to tell us about! Show me that bag of praline hearts
Choosing not to choose with our 1761 Box assortment
Your grandmother loves chocolate, but also other treats? She should adore our beautiful 1761 Box. It brings together an assortment of all the House’s chocolate and confectionery specialties: chocolate candies, ganaches and pralines, fruit pastes, almond pastes and Provençal calissons.
Yum, I want to see your 1761 Box

How far in advance can you buy chocolate for Grandmothers’ Day?
Made according to traditional recipes, our À la Mère de Famille chocolates keep very well away from light and moisture in their packaging, at a temperature close to 18°C. It is best to avoid placing them in the refrigerator, as this may alter their aromas. To enjoy all their flavors, we advise you to buy them at the latest a few days before Grandmothers’ Day, and to enjoy them within three weeks of your purchase.
