This old-fashioned praline offers an incomparable texture and taste—guaranteed! Chocolate lovers will enjoy the perfect balance between smoothness and crunchiness.

What is the tradition of Easter Eggs ?
Eggs hold a central place in Easter traditions, a custom dating back centuries. Symbols of life and rebirth, they were once given to celebrate the end of Lent, a period during which their consumption was prohibited. Today, this tradition has evolved. Whether decorated or made of chocolate, eggs are at the heart of Easter celebrations. At Le Petit Duc, we continue this tradition with our version of real eggshell chocolates—both delicious and elegant!
The Arrival of Chocolate in Easter Traditions
It was in the 18th century that the idea of associating chocolate with Easter began to emerge, particularly in France and Germany. At the time, cocoa, still considered a luxury product, was reserved for the elite. Confectioners had the idea to use chocolate to craft eggs, initially solid (just like ours! ????), then hollow with the invention of molds. This innovation quickly gained immense popularity. Chocolate, with its sweetness and indulgence, became an irresistible alternative to decorated natural eggs. Offering chocolate eggs soon became a playful way to extend the tradition while adding a generous dose of pleasure.
