Haigh’s Chocolates has unveiled its 2024 Easter collection, inspired by the designs of European painted eggs, handcrafted and hand foiled in the chocolatiers South Australian factories.
The 2024 Easter collection is inspired by traditional European handcrafted paper craftwork and decorated painted eggs, featuring unique floral designs in blue, lilac, gold and green across all gift boxes, and Easter egg ribbed foils.
Haigh’s said it expects to produce more than 5 million individual chocolate Easter eggs this season.
Haigh’s Chocolates chief executive, Alister Haigh said the collection was prepared from an exclusive chocolate blend created by Haigh’s, using its specialised bean to bar chocolate making process.
“Our Easter range is crafted from a unique blend of chocolate that is only used at Easter time.
“We believe that it is the combination of this blend combined with other high quality ingredients and our years of chocolate making experience that makes it the best tasting range of Easter gifts in Australia,” said Haigh.
The 2024 collection will feature a selection of new items, including a dark green egg- shaped Gift Box filled with traditional Hot Cross Bun Truffles, alongside two new flavours; Milk Blueberry Hot Cross Bun, a fudge centre filled with blueberries and blueberry puree and Dark Apple and Cinnamon Hot Cross Bun, featuring a cinnamon infused milk fudge centre with sweet apple pieces.
