Half & Half Fine Dark Chocolate Easter Egg – Pure Dark 75% + Dark & Raspberry with Rose & Violet creams
Two halves of Chocolate perfection. No half measures!
Rich, dark, unadulterated chocolate all on its own or with zingy raspberries?… We didn’t think you should have to choose! Classic soft rose and violet creams hand made to our own Victorian inspired recipe are equally difficult to choose between!

Appearance
Beautifully presented with lovely detailing on the chocolate, enhanced with vibrant bursts of raspberry. |
Mouthfeel/Finish/Length
Crisp, but beautifully smooth dark chocolate in the egg and all the chocolates are smooth with a wonderful mouthfeel. Luxurious centres in crisp little shells. All excellent. |
Taste
The chocolates were lovely – dark and rich and full of flavour. The egg is fabulous – WOW! A grown up egg with tangy notes from the raspberry. |
Suitable for Vegans

My mum is always on the look out for chocolate for me for a treat. She hit the jackpot here. Beautiful, well designed box. Beautifully packaged inside, such a delight to see the rose and violet cremes on top as you opened the box, then to the egg which was simply stunning. All this beauty, for the best chocolates I have ever eaten. They are so delicious, I hope for a box on their own! The egg too – devine. Absolutely now my chocolate company of choice. 💕

I bought this for my daughter as she is vegan. She absolutely loved the egg and the rose and violet creams. They have always been her favourite but not so easy to find good vegan ones. So delighted I can now get her favourites again. Even better that she kindly shared them with me, and I loved them too, even though I am not Vega. Now we can share them together.
