Gut Springeheide Real Eggschell filled with Hazelnut Chocolate Truffle Polka Dots Display
1.75 oz
this Easter egg caught my eye — hazelnut truffle in a real eggshell? These eggs are German-made, by a company called Gut Springenheide. Inside the box, the egg is protected by a plastic case. Freed from these, it looks even more beautiful. The paint has a light shimmer, and the stripes seem to be hand-painted. There is a small piece on the bottom to cover where the chocolate was poured into the shell. Really very hard to want to break into it.
The side of the box directs to “just crack and peal the egg shell.” I gave it a light smack on the plate and found that the smacked part peels off easy enough, but the rest only comes off in small pieces. Consequently, I only peeled half of the shell off at first, using a knife to slice pieces off. It would be too difficult to get at the chocolate, except that part of the novelty is in this shell.
The chocolate truffle is very smooth and soft, the hazelnut much stronger than in most chocolates. It is the second ingredient after sugar. the texture is probably the best part about it
