Easter 2026: countryside picnic and farm animals at Edwart Chocolatier

For Easter 2026, Edwart Chocolatier's shops are transforming into charming picnic scenes. The Parisian chocolatier brings to life a menagerie of Grand Crus with evocative names: from Léonard Lapinci to Francis Bacon, each creation hides an exceptional praline inside.

Every year, Edwin Yansané dreams up a delightful array of creative Easter chocolates for Edwart Chocolatier. In 2026, the chocolatier invites you to a poetic picnic where the meadow transforms into a culinary tableau, featuring whimsical farm animals. Meet Jean de la Souris, Vincent Van Bœuf, or Francis Bacon — all crafted from the finest Cocoa Grand Crus, as always.

More traditional in its approach, the Easter Bunny here takes on the guise of a celebrated master painter! Leonard Lapinci (200g, €29) is available, like all his counterparts, in Grand Cru Tanzanian dark chocolate 68% or milk chocolate 38% varieties, filled with chocolate pralines in both dark and milk chocolate.

We continue with Jean de la Souris and his large ears (32€, 160g), perched atop a praline-filled base flavored with toasted vanilla. Inside, you'll find a mix of snack bites and dry treats. Meanwhile, Vincent Van Bœuf (46€, 325g), much larger and decorated with horns, features a base filled with the signature "Ker Edwart" praline topped with Breton crunchy feuilletine.

Named Francis Bacon (49€, 320g) because it’s a pig—obviously—this piece sits on a sesame praline base, offering a subtly roasted flavor. After getting acquainted with these whimsical animals, our attention is caught by the impressive Coquetier (54€, 390g), with its charming, dreamy ladybugs and elaborate presentation. Inside, two eggs hide: one filled with a delicious Yakimeshi praline (Japanese-style toasted rice) and the other with a crunchy mix of crispy bits.

Staying in the egg family, Edwart Chocolatier has crafted a visually striking Oeuf à la Coque, where the yolk peeks through the chocolate shell, spilling out in decadent, tempting streams. Available in several varieties, giving you plenty of choices! The Grain Noir (24€, 190g) combines almonds and organic toasted buckwheat (kasha) inside a dark chocolate shell, finished with a touch of sea salt.

In milk chocolate, there's the Praliné Maïs (29€), blending hazelnut sweetness with crunchy popped corn, or the Pistache (31€). Note that all these delicate pieces are too fragile for anything but courier delivery across Île-de-France, which involves extra fees if you're not picking them up at the shop. Be especially careful during transit, as a metro ride could turn these edible artworks into a chocolate puzzle.

If you're outside Greater Paris and want to treat yourself to Edwart’s chocolates for Easter, opt for the "Oeuf à Plat" Box (21€, 70g). Enrobed in 65% Grand Cru Nicaraguan dark chocolate, it contains a praline with black sesame, accompanied by milk croustibilles. Alternatively, it’s surrounded by dark chocolate croustibilles filled with hazelnut praline and covered in 38% Costa Rican Grand Cru milk chocolate.

Some of the flavors are suited to the adventurous palate—kids might enjoy discovering new tastes, although they’re far from the ultra-sweet milk chocolates found in supermarkets.

The chocolatier also recommends consuming these treats within 30 to 60 days of purchase. That shouldn’t be too problematic with Easter approaching (and needing to be eaten soon!), but remember to store them at a temperature between 15°C and 18°C, away from humidity and direct sunlight.

As you can see, at Edwart, it’s a true praline paradise—if you love it, you’ll find plenty to indulge in at one of their five Paris shops.
