In France there is a most charming tradiition of hand made chocolate easter eggs. For our family we never buy easter eggs in the super market, ready wrapped with a designer logo, but prefer to go to the local bakers and buy a selection of their in-house treats.
Traditionally there are the eggs of course, but also chickens, rabbits, fish and bells. The eggs are generally tied with a pretty ribbon and filled with 'friture', tiny chocolate fish and seashell shapes, that can also be bought separately for decoration.
Of course we could also go to a big chic chocolate store in Paris and buy some 'power' chocolates but frankly ...
...I prefer the low-key local approach, just as delicious and way prettier, in my humble opinion.
So tell me, what are your easter treats?
