12 chocolate eggs, 6 filled with a fine hazelnut praline and 6 with a subtly salted caramel. A layer of milk and dark chocolate is filled with caramel or praline and then wrapped in a fine sugar shell with life-like speckles. Please note that colour combinations may vary seasonally.
“The Old Cotswold Legbar, first bred in the early 1900s, is a cross between Leghorn and Barred hens and is a much loved crested Gloucestershire breed. As well as wearing a smart coat this hardy, friendly hen is a very prolific egg-layer, producing up to 240 pastel coloured eggs in her first year making her very suitable for free-range life in the garden.”
