Genaveh's praline bar
In the shape of an appetising marbled egg, Genaveh's praline bar is one of the novelties of this Easter season as the chocolate-maker aims to take advantage of its . Two versions are available--dark chocolate filled with an old-fashioned Piedmont hazelnut praline and milk chocolate filled with a hazelnut praline with a hint of salt. Both are to die for. Igf you want something extra local, we suggest the “Luxembourg” collection with its 4 original flavours. Originally intended as a limited edition for National Day 2021, this is now part of Genaveh's permanent range and features black ganache with cream/dark chocolate; black ganache with rose/dark chocolate; mirabelle caramel/milk chocolate and nut praline/milk chocolate.
