Shall we introduce you to our praline eggs?
Our cute praline eggs are all covered with a dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate shell. We make our homemade couverture and our praline with a well-kept recipe from the best ingredients, according to demanding techniques that our chocolatiers have been able to perpetuate.
The A la Mère de Famille praline owes its inimitable taste to hazelnuts picked in France, almonds and pistachios from Sicily, roasted, caramelized and then cold-ground, in order to obtain a mixture that is as crunchy as it is soft. To die for, we guarantee it!
We select our cocoa beans ourselves to produce a cocoa paste and butter of exceptional quality. Depending on the recipes, we work on the balance of flavors with the natural aroma of Madagascar vanilla powder, the subtlety of caramel, the milky notes of skimmed milk, and a hint of salt. When necessary, our chocolatiers add a touch of soy lecithin which guarantees the stability of the recipe.
Our milk chocolate praline egg, between softness and creaminess
Each praline egg in our milk chocolate collection is an invitation... to take a second one! And to let yourself be surprised by their subtle aromas, which you will recognize by the color of their pretty golden papillotes. Among our assortments with a milk chocolate shell, our egg with hazelnut praline and fleur de sel, the one with almond nougatine, or the one with Gianduja will charm you with their subtle aromas and their melting center. You will be able to succumb to the flavors of our almond hazelnut praline, an essential classic, and will fall, literally, for its flaky praline version.
Our dark chocolate praline egg, a combination of intensity and finesse
Lovers of contrasts, the marriage between the woody aromas of our 65% dark chocolate shell and the exquisite softness of the praline will make you melt. Let yourself be tempted by the crunchiness of our almond nougatine praline egg, the subtlety of our gianduja egg, and taste with your eyes closed our almond hazelnut and almond hazelnut puff pastry recipes.
Our white chocolate praline egg, for a sweet treat
The smoothness and creaminess of A la Mère de Famille ivory chocolate harmonizes wonderfully with the crunchiness of our almond nougatine praline. A chocolate candy that young and old gourmets love!
The chocolate Easter egg filled with praline surprises!
You can get all these tasty treasures in colorful assortments, in a beautiful box, a bag or a ballotin in the colors of the House. They are also hidden inside our Easter specialties, like our large egg available in dark chocolate or milk chocolate. Under its beautiful shiny shell, decorated with the iconic cement tile that covers the floor of our historic boutique rue du Faubourg Montmartre, you will find a delicious mix of dry and praline fritters, and small praline eggs.

Chocolate figurines: rabbits, bells and other fantasies
At À la Mère de Famille, we love expanding our bestiary of Easter chocolate molds year after year. Nearly a hundred models are made with rare attention by our chocolatiers. They make some of the most delicate gestures by hand, like the eyes of our thousands of subjects. If you like variety, you will have the choice between adorable squirrels, bears to eat, ducks, lobsters, fish, scallops, dogs, cats, turtles, owls… Without forgetting of course the traditional rabbits and bells, all made and unmolded by hand with gloves, patience and meticulousness, before being wrapped in ribbon and placed in a pretty box.

chocolate delivery
Rest assured, all our packages are carefully packaged so that your chocolates arrive in the best conditions. However, some carriers may not be very gentle, especially during busy periods such as Easter or Christmas. In this case, don't panic, as soon as you receive the package, quickly send us a message to our customer service who will respond to you as soon as possible. Customer satisfaction is our priority!
How do I store my praline eggs?
As a cautious gourmet, are you worried about our Easter eggs running out of stock? Don't worry, we have plenty of treats planned! But if you want to get started in advance, our recipes are designed to keep for several weeks, provided that you keep each praline egg at a temperature around 18°C, in its original packaging, away from air, humidity and light. This way, they will keep all their freshness for up to four months after purchase! Avoid placing them in the refrigerator, as this could alter the aroma of the chocolate.
