Easter chocolates

A real game of hide-and-seek is afoot at À la Mère de Famille… To be discovered this year, in anticipation of the traditional Easter Sunday egg hunt : our wrapped praline eggs, our dry and filled fritures, our collection of moulages (remember that all our moulages are filled!), our praline sardines, so many other delights, including our new products that add to this abundance of house specialties.

Our Easter range has now come to an end for the season and is now making way for our summer collection! New confectionery is now taking over alongside our chocolates, house specialties and creations that enrich our catalogue throughout the year.

Our Easter chocolates

All our creations are made with the utmost care . Whether it is the creation of our dark or milk chocolate shells in our factory, the refinement of our praline recipes, the artisanal crafting of our molded chocolates, the hand-finishing of the details, or the composition of our assorted boxes… Nothing is left to chance to make Easter egg-straordinary!

Easter chocolate egg

Beneath its crisp shell of smooth milk chocolate, intense dark chocolate, or creamy white chocolate, it hides our irresistible homemade pralines with a subtle hint of caramel. It is available in ten varieties to delight young and old: crunchy, layered, fine, coarse-grained, etc.—everyone has their favorites! Each recipe is made from cocoa beans carefully selected by us in Ecuador, Madagascar, Peru, and elsewhere, from producers who share our exacting standards, before being crafted our way by our chocolatiers in our factory in Tours.

Discover our bars, gift sets, boxes and assortments of praline eggs on our website and in-store, sure to make you melt this Easter! We also have an existential question for you: which should you nibble on first, the egg or the chocolate hen? In our opinion, they’re both worth trying, but we’ll leave it to you to tell us what you think.

Yum, show me those chocolate hens

The hunt is on to find our Easter chocolate eggs!

Whether hidden in the garden or enjoyed with a coffee (or with nothing at all, if that’s what you fancy), the chocolate egg is an Easter essential. These cute and festive chocolates can be hidden just as easily in a bush as behind a houseplant, and they’re a treat for young and old alike. As we love to delight you, our chocolatiers have created a variety of moulds and recipes that are sure to be a hit. We bet you’ll find it hard to choose between the different versions of our chocolate egg!

The milk chocolate praline egg, the great Easter classic

Smooth, melt-in-the-mouth and delicate, our milk chocolate is sure to please everyone. The more the merrier, right? Choose one of our bags containing an assortment of eggs wrapped in beautiful shiny paper that tells you the main flavour of your chocolate treat.

Give in to our hazelnut praline and fleur de sel hidden under orange paper, or try the all-golden almond nougatine version. Our gianduja praline egg recipe, made with fine cocoa and dressed in light pink, will delight you with its melt-in-the-mouth texture and even creamier notes. Want more? Indulge in our almond-hazelnut praline egg coated in milk chocolate, an essential classic, or be surprised by the crunch of our layered praline.

The white chocolate Easter egg, the choice for sweetness and creaminess

Our house-made praline is coated in an ivory layer for Easter, combining the crunch of white chocolate with the melt-in-the-mouth texture of almond nougatine praline. This delightful combination offers a feast of sweetness and flavour, and will instantly make you want to unwrap another egg (or two)!

The dark chocolate Easter egg, an intense option for discerning lovers of chocolate

Do you love the rich aromas of cocoa? You’ll adore the contrast between the soft, caramelised texture of our house-made praline and the cocoa crunch of the 65% dark chocolate coating on our praline Easter egg recipe. A truly irresistible treat, we promise! Close your eyes and try to identify the flavours of our almond nougatine, gianduja, almond-hazelnut or crunchy layered almond-hazelnut recipes.

Give in to the Easter chocolate egg filled with surprises, mousse version

The décor of our historic boutique is an endless source of inspiration, and it can also be found on this beautiful Easter egg. A large egg, it features the iconic cement tiles that cover the floor of 35 rue du Faubourg Montmartre. This mould in 65% dark chocolate or 36% milk chocolate hides a delicious assortment of chocolates beneath its shiny, crunchy shell: plain fritures, praline fritures and small praline eggs.

An Easter chocolate egg hidden in a real shell!

We love to delight and amuse you with our creations. We have hidden a chocolate egg with a praline centre inside a real shell, where cocoa butter blends with finely crumbled biscuit, all coated in milk or dark chocolate. All you have to do is crack it open to enjoy! To add to the fun, our egg lookalike comes in a gift set shaped like a real egg box, which will add to the surprise when opened.

But how do our praline eggs taste so good?

The relationship between praline and À la Mère de Famille has lasted for decades. To create our signature house recipe, our chocolatiers carefully select French hazelnuts, almonds and pistachios from Sicily. The nuts are roasted, then caramelised and finally cold-ground on a granite mill, an age-old technique that gives our praline its inimitable crunch. To ensure the stability of certain recipes, our chocolatiers add soy lecithin to the cocoa paste when necessary, along with milk powder and a touch of vanilla and… shh, we keep our manufacturing secrets well-hidden with the rest of our ingredients! The mixture is then coated in dark, milk or white chocolate before being wrapped in beautiful little papers.

By the way, why do we eat chocolate eggs at Easter?

That’s a good question. This tradition dates back to the Middle Ages, when people gave each other wooden, stone or metal eggs decorated in bright colours to symbolise rebirth and renewal. Over the centuries, chocolatiers gradually adopted this custom, reinventing the Easter egg and turning it into an elegant and festive treat. Once reserved for the elite, this pleasure is now accessible to everyone thanks to a wide range of recipes, assortments and prices.
