“A wild, long-limbed sprinter, the Brown Hare is instantly recognised by his black-tipped ears and amber eyes. In spring he performs his famous ‘boxing’ bouts in open meadows, a lively tangle of paws and pride. With a sudden burst of speed he vanishes across the grass, leaving only a quiver of enchantment in his wake

Blackbird - 12 Chocolate Eggs filled with a fine hazelnut praline. A layer of milk and dark chocolate is filled with the praline and then wrapped in a fine sugar shell and life-like speckles. Please note that this summer the Blackbird is laying white eggs!
Madeleine Floyd writes, “Europe’s most familiar bird, the blackbird is a virtuoso songster. The confident, full-throated melody of his song can be heard from dawn till dusk and is associated by many with the arrival of spring each year.”
Red Legged Partridge - 12 Chocolate Eggs filled with Salted Caramel and hazelnut praline. Layers of dark and milk chocolate are then filled with ganache and gently salted caramel or fine hazelnut praline before being wrapped in a fine sugar shell and life-like speckles.
These delicious salted caramel eggs are part of the Chocolate Detective’s Curated Collection – her very favourite products from a lifetime of making and tasting chocolate.
The Red-Legged Partridge was first introduced to Britain from France in the late seventeenth century. He is a sociable bird and enjoys the company of family and friends. Young fledglings remain in their family groups long after they are fully grown. If you are lucky enough to get to Tresco island in the Scilly Isles they can be seen tamely pottering in and out of the gardens and hedgerows.

Barn Owl - 12 Chocolate Eggs filled with a fine hazelnut praline. Layers of dark and milk chocolate are then filled with the praline before being wrapped in a fine sugar shell and life-like speckles.
Madeleine Floyd writes,
“With his heart-shaped face, beige back and wings and fluffy white trousers, the Barn Owl is a much loved bird of the British countryside.
Barn Owls are nocturnal hunters and have excellent night vision with which to catch their prey.”
Red Kite - 12 “Red Kite” Chocolate Eggs, 6 filled with a fine hazelnut praline and 6 with a subtle salted caramel. A layer of dark and a layer of milk chocolate is filled and then given a thin sugar shell with speckles.
Madeleine Floyd writes, “Previously persecuted almost to the brink of extinction, these magnificent birds now grace the skies once more, soaring overhead on thermals, swooping down to feed. They have now steadily extended their range north and west in the UK. The Red Kite is monogamous, with 2-3 chicks per year. It has been one of the major conservation success stories of the last 20 years.”
Best enjoyed slowly to savour the crisp sugar shell and rich chocolate layers.
