Box of 12 milk chocolate marshmallow bears

Just open the box to find a great classic that may have been part of your childhood: little soft bears, made close to Lille and ready to disappear much faster than planned. Their heart is made of a tender vanilla-flavored marshmallow, whose soft and airy texture contrasts with a thin layer of milk chocolate. It is precisely this succession of textures that gives marshmallow bears all their charm, and probably explains why it's so hard to stop at the first one. Gathered in a pretty metal box, they are easy to share at snack time, over a coffee or in front of a movie. But no rule actually obliges you to share. Be warned, when you open your metal box, you will be greeted by bad-boy bears who are oh so adorable.

What makes the charm of these bears is first of all their texture. Under their thin layer of milk chocolate hides an incredibly tender marshmallow. From the first bite, the chocolate melts gently while the soft heart brings that very special sensation, at once light, melting and terribly indulgent. Marshmallow bears play the nostalgia card to the fullest. They recall childhood snacks, the sweets you nibbled without counting and the little treats you keep for the moments when you simply want to treat yourself. It's also the kind of treat you eat almost without thinking: a first bear to taste, a second because it was really good, then a third because the box is already open. With their soft texture and familiar flavor, these little bears fully embrace their pleasure-loving, nostalgic side.

Though they are tender on the inside, their looks tell a completely different story. To dress this metal box, the French artist Loïc Lusnia imagined a gang of tattooed bears with a look far less well-behaved than their marshmallow hearts. His graphic universe humorously subverts the traditional image of the innocent little bear to give it a downright rebellious personality. Illustrator, painter and tattoo artist, Loïc Lusnia draws inspiration from pop culture and anything he finds funny, graphic or inspiring. His tattooed bears turn this packaging into a genuine work of art. Once the last treat has been enjoyed, the box is designed to stay. It can become a catch-all tray, a keepsake box or a secret chocolate stash.
