Just when I thought I could not enjoy the sweet treats from Newton’s own MMM…Chcolate any more, Chef Liron Gal has come out with a set that is not only amazing but adorable!
While many may associate this season with sticky-sweet eggs or marshmallow animals that can survive the Second Coming, Chef Gal offers a more mature and even more delicious take on these traditional treats. Her Easter chocolate chicks are made from French Valrhona chocolate and filled with a hazelnut praliné ganache over crunchy caramelized milk chocolate with cookie pieces. If you want the egg to come first, be sure to try her luxurious eggs that combine unique, handmade designs with delightful flavors and textures that include chocolate caramel, chocolate marshmallow, chocolate-hazelnut, crunchy chocolate pearls, as well as vanilla bean salted caramel, caramelized white chocolate ganache, caramel cookie marshmallow, and crunchy caramel cookie pieces. For those who like their Easter eggs more colorful, MMM…Chocolate has eggs that are filled with mango-passion fruit caramel or passion fruit ganache.
Though it may be a bit late for Passover shopping, the Israeli-born chef also has an amazing collection of Passover-appropriate sweets that can be enjoyed with levity on any day! Among the “chametz-free” flavors are berry pate de fruit with creme fraiche ganache and crunchy meringue pieces, a creme brulee, a caramel-hazelnut praline, a mango-passion fruit caramel, an orange blossom halva, and a simple hot chocolate that goes great with Afikoman.
No matter what you celebrate, the season will be sweeter with help from MMM…Chocolate (and couldn’t we ALL use a bit more sweetness this year?).
