Baron Hasselhoff’s – Easterlicious Legend of the Double Yolker

$19.50

Nobody hunts Easter eggs quite like the Baron. In his days as a courier for a Bavarian chocolate cartel, led by none other than Egbert Bunny IV, he had heard a rumour: deep in the Black Forest was a breed of bunny that laid doubleyolk Easter eggs. With the cartel’s mercenary known only as ‘Bugs’ hot on his tail, The Baron spent days crawling through cinnamon-scented warrens, even discovering an underground rabbit-run bakery (but that’s another story). While being chased by some very hot, cross bunnies, he stumbled into a giant subterranean nest, lined with shards of dark chocolate. In the nest was a glorious, shiny golden egg. Quick as a flash, the Baron scooped up the egg and fled to Zürich. Stopping to rest in a berry orchard, he discovered two things – that one; the legend of the double yolk was true; and two; that rabbit eggs aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. As he scoured the brambles and bushes around him for food, the Baron was struck with a flash of inspiration. The result, detailed in a letter to the Baron’s headquarters, is a dual Easter egg inspired by his adventure – two chocolate-covered marshmallow egg halves, one flavoured with raspberry and pomegranate, and the other with spiced hazelnut praline.

Clayton McErlane has been creating chocolate creations since 2012.  As a trained chef, Clayton has always been interested in unique flavours. When Chris visited Wellington in 2016 he scored some of their Wellington bars and some wicked salted caramel logs - we knew then that once the Baron converted to making their own chocolate "from bean to bar" they'd become a great chocolate maker. They made the switch in 2019 and it hasn't slowed down their creativeness. In 2020 Clayton helped our friend Luke Smith (The Chocolate Bar, NZ) create his first chocolate bar. In 2021 they created a cross-Tasman partnership with Melbourne's Birdsnake chocolate. In 2021 they also ran a successful crowd funding campaign, raising $50K to fund some much needed new machines. We're sure they're going to be around for a while so we can't wait to share more of their amazing creations with you soon!
