In search of the finest chocolates for Easter 2026? This year, Jean-Paul Hévin invites us to discover his world of chocolate through his latest collection, "Dreams and Cocoa Beans." The master chocolatier blends imagination with craftsmanship in his new creations, celebrating rare cocoa beans he tirelessly seeks out from the finest plantations. His goal: craft delicious new recipes while preserving the precious beans."

Renowned master chocolatier and a key figure in French chocolate craftsmanship, Jean-Paul Hévin is celebrated for his elegant and daring creations. For decades, he has elevated cacao by exploring its boundless flavor and aesthetic potential. With this theme, he cleverly takes expressions literally, highlighting the freshness of his finest cocoa through his playful approach.

One of this year's highlights is the Egg of the Day, which celebrates Easter with a delectable calendar. Marking Sunday, April 5th, this egg is crafted from Grand Cru dark chocolate from Cameroon, Hévin-Nkolossang — available in 70% dark or 40% milk. It’s filled with dry fritters and packed with dark and milk chocolate treats. The 580g version is priced at €95, while a smaller 360g egg goes for €65.

Another playful creation that cleverly plays on words, the Pêche du Jour! These two fish are not just pulled from the sea but from a cacao pod, decorated with a cheerful sun and tiny clouds—adding a touch of poetry to the design. Despite the chocolatier’s intention of injecting humor and making a delightful April Fool’s joke, the piece exudes a certain charm. For those on a budget, it’s also the most affordable option in the collection, priced at €29 (110g), available in both dark and milk chocolate.
