Imagine Father Christmas as a chocolate planet
Luxury chocolatier shares latest majestic festive creation
This year's festive chocolate creations from haute chocolaterie Pierre Marcolini promises to be an interstellar journey of the senses.
The collection's centrepiece, the Planète Noël, is made with the Maison’s finest white chocolate wreathed in an intense dark chocolate ellipse.
The planet sits atop a box with two drawers filled with exquisite little treats: the first an assortment of smooth-centred truffles; the second with miniature praline planets.
There are also the Mini Lunes, which are starry miniature moons and they come in two versions: Maison milk and white chocolate (red) or Maison dark and white chocolate (dark red).
Other collection highlights include The Eclipse, which is a giant Maison white and dark chocolate orb where a whole host of delicious praline balls are concealed; Box of Planetes, which come in six flavours; and an Advent Calendar, which is bedecked in vibrantly colourful half-moons with different bite-sized Maison special every day.
There are more than 30 Pierre Marcolini stores globally, including Belgium, France, the UK, Monaco, Japan and China.
