The arrival of spring is usually celebrated with a range of bright colors that can be seen on everything from the latest floral fashions to all-new Easter chocolate eggs. But this year, The Chocolate Society decided to go in a different direction with a few of its Easter treats.
The Chocolate Society released a trio of 'Monochrome Eggs' that come in flavors like Blond, Milk and Dark Chocolate. In order to further enhance the appearance of each Easter egg, the chocolate pieces are meticulously cut by hand in order to create small holes in the surface of the treat.
This year, there are dozens of new Easter egg chocolates that are taking a simple approach to decorating by forgoing familiar motifs associated with the holiday.
