Box of 15 milk & dark pralines rochers

This metal box holds 15 delicious praline rochers (9 milk chocolate and 6 dark chocolate) made close to Strasbourg by our chocolatier partner. Their hazelnut praline heart is worked to stay melting and generous, before being coated in milk or dark chocolate, then covered with almond pieces that immediately add texture to the tasting. Each bite thus combines three successive sensations: the crunch of the almonds, the melt of the chocolate, then the creaminess of the hazelnut heart. It is this construction that gives these chocolate rochers their particularly generous character and recognizable texture.

Each chocolate rocher hides a melting heart of French hazelnut praline. This praline is then wrapped in two chocolates with very different profiles: a smooth milk chocolate and an intense dark chocolate with a minimum of 65% cocoa. The milk chocolate brings a milky roundness that naturally accompanies the roasted notes of the praline. The dark chocolate, on the contrary, offers more depth and creates a more marked contrast with the softness of the heart. In both cases, the almond pieces added on the surface wake up the whole with their crunch and extend the dried-fruit notes. The cocoa used in the recipe comes from Ecuador, a territory renowned for the quality of its cacao trees. With no palm oil and pure cocoa butter chocolate, these praline rochers rely above all on a to-die-for play of textures.

The metal case was entrusted to Hania Kmieć, an illustrator and graphic designer from Gdańsk, who dreamed up a joyfully offbeat France: a gorilla climbs the Eiffel Tower, Marie Antoinette wears a cake as a hairdo, a croissant dances, a skater in a Breton stripe top rides a baguette and a cancan dancer leaps into the air, surrounded by “Bonjour!”, “Merci” and “Oh là là”. A beautiful postcard, in short! Inspired by 1960s and 70s illustration, she approaches the French world with humor and bright colors, in an immediately recognizable graphic style. Her work turns the box into a genuine illustrated object, far from traditional codes. Once the chocolates have been enjoyed, the metal box can naturally be kept and reused. The fifteen chocolate rochers become as many little treats to share, gathered in a gift box designed to please even before the first bite.
