Mignon Chocolates

My lovely mom was ever so kind and surprised me by sending a box of chocolates. Not just any ordinary Finnish choccies but a new kind of Easter confectionary.


The traditional Fazer Mignon is actually an Easter egg. It is an almond hazelnut nougat inside a real eggshell. Fazer has been making them since 1896, so perhaps it is about time to make different variations for modern chocolate lovers. Although I'm sure the Mignon egg will stay a favourite for generations to come.


This modern version is packed in an eggshaped box. It even stands upright, how clever is that!

And they taste delicious of course!!
