The Chocolate Detective’s woodpecker eggs come in a realistic carton. Lift the lid to discover milk and dark chocolate eggs filled with hazelnut praline and salted caramel.

The eggs have crisp sugar shells in shades of blue, white, green and brown. Decorated with delicate speckles, they look just like the real thing.

The Chocolate Detective writes, “The Green Woodpecker is most often seen hopping comically across lawns in search of his favourite delicacy: ants. With a laughing call that carries across meadow and orchard, he seems permanently amused by life.”

The eggs are made in France using bean-to-bar couverture. The ethically produced cocoa comes from a large farm in Ecuador.

The recyclable boxes feature colourful bird illustrations. The artwork is by British artist and illustrator Madeleine Floyd.

Chocolate bird eggs make fabulous gifts. Treat yourself or buy them for friends and family. They’re a fun and unique present for bird watchers and animal lovers.
