petits chocolates de Pâques

All the chocolate shops, bakeries, and pâtisseries 

have their "designs of the season"

In addition to rabbits and chocolate eggs 

you may find chocolate fish

and other creative expressions of Easter,

spring and delicious chocolate.

bon weekend

They are not chocolate but adorable all the same.

There is no shortage of chocolate here!

Jeff de Bruges -- Tintin

The chocolatier Jeff de Bruges with its color scheme of almost-Tiffany-aqua and chocolate-brown (of course), featured a window in collaboration with Tintin.  The boxes seen here hold combinations of their famous chocolates, 60 petite caraques, each wrapped in foil with a Tintin characature on the front:

• noir (70%)
• lait
• lait sucre pétillant (je crois)
• noir nougatine

I was given a delightful box (3 layers!) of Jeff de Bruges chocolates during my November visit to Paris and made them last, languishing over each one individually, marveling how something could be so singularly delicious.  No, I did not eat them all myself and I did make them last until after Christmas.

I will be back in Paris in two weeks and will look for the windows to be decorated for Easter and spring.  I just may need to indulge in a "small" box...

miam-miam!
