Animal-Inspired Festive Chocolates

Hotel Chocolat's Easter Pen Pals Treats Include Three Flavors

Hotel Chocolat's Easter Pen Pals set boasts artisan chocolates in three different flavors -- White, Caramel-Milk and Milk. The chocolates include a chicken named Elizapeck with caramel milk filling, a sheep named Wooliam made with 36% creamy cocoa butter, and a rabbit named Rabbert, consisting of 40% milk chocolate.

Each Easter Pen Pals set includes all three animals and is the perfect kid-friendly treat for Easter. Priding itself on its artisan confections, Hotel Chocolat created these animal treats by hand-sketching and hand-carving each character's shape before production.

The final product is as tasty as it is aesthetically pleasing, staying true to the candy maker's brand ethos. Its other festive products include favorites like its vegan and non-vegan Easter eggs for both kids and adults along with chocolate sandwiches, gift baskets and more.
