THE MOST EGG-STRAVAGANT EASTER EGGS TO GIFT THIS YEAR
Easter Sunday is right around the corner (April 9), which means the hunt for Easter eggs is well and truly underway. While a traditional plain milk chocolate egg will surely be appreciated, why not go the extra mile this year with Grá Chocolates whose Easter collection rivals pieces of art?
Fill your basket with these luxury choices.
Of all the gifting opportunities we’re presented with over the year, Easter may just be the favourite. While Mother’s Day gifting, Valentine’s Day presents and - most stressful of all - Christmas, require an abundance of uniqueness and thoughtfulness, choosing an Easter egg is undeniably easier. Besides, who doesn’t love chocolate?
Gráinne Mullins, Founder of Grá Chocolates.
With opulent packaging, intricate designs and the creamiest chocolate money can buy, there really is only one choice when it comes to selecting an Easter egg for a loved one or yourself: Grá Chocolates. Luxurious and decadent, Grá Chocolates are exquisite artisan confections made with love in county Galway. Created and crafted in small batches by award-winning pastry chef, Gráinne Mullins, each beautiful chocolate is meticulously made and painted by hand. Combining the finest raw ingredients with native Irish flavours, they take a classic gift of chocolate and turn it into something extraordinary. Already available to shop in Brown Thomas Grafton Street and online, Grá Chocolates are hosting an extra-special pop-up in Brown Thomas Dundrum, especially for Easter. Located on Level -1, you’ll be able to shop their best-sellers as well as their new egg-stravagant Easter collection.
I wanted to create something that was both beautiful to look at but also delicious. I wanted to create a mouthful of excitement and do this by using the best of Irish ingredients.
Gráinne Mullins, Founder of Grá Chocolates.
From the refined packaging to the luxuriously smooth chocolate, Grá Chocolates has elevated the entire experience of the Easter Eggs to new heights. Some are packed with honeycomb pieces whilst others are intricately hand-painted for a design that looks more like a work of art than a sweet treat - either way, each will make any lucky recipient smile. So, without further ado, it’s time to crack on and indulge in one of the delectable options below.
NUTS ABOUT YOU
Crack open this giant 35% milk chocolate egg and you’ll be greeted with crunchy, candied hazelnuts inside the shell. Featuring a light touch of sea salt, this secret ingredient elevates the nuts to blend together this heavenly combination of smooth praline and not one but two types of chocolate.
Available in Brown Thomas Dundrum.
LIL’ BIT SALTY
Eye-catching and beautiful, this speckled blue egg is made using 70% dark chocolate with chewy caramel pieces and softer caramel fudge pieces hidden inside. Both caramels feature delicate flakes of Achill Island Sea Salt which melt on the tongue, cutting through the richness of the dark chocolate and accentuating the delicious caramel.
Available in Brown Thomas Dundrum.
BEE MY HONEY
Local Irish ingredients are the star of this luxury hand-painted egg. All encased in a rich dark chocolate shell, crack open the egg to discover beautifully bubbly honeycomb pieces which have been brought to the perfect stage of caramel as well as Sliabh Aughty Honey from Galway and a luscious honey ganache.
Available in Brown Thomas Dundrum.
EGG-STRAW-DINARY
They say you should never judge an egg by it’s shell but with this Egg-STRAW-dinary Easter Egg, that’s exactly what you should do. The hand-painted pink and red strokes reflect the stunning strawberry flavours inside. A match made in heaven, its rich and creamy white chocolate shell pairs beautifully with the acidity of the strawberry pâte de fruit inside.
Available in Brown Thomas Dundrum.
MINT TO BE
Containing a whole host of sweet treats, crack open this giant 35% milk chocolate shell to find chewy mint marshmallow pieces and oozing mint fondant that is made using the best quality peppermint. Each bite is the perfect balance of soft, refreshing mint with milk chocolate - the ultimate after-dinner treat!
