Easter Treats

ChocOneill Handmade Chocolates - IrelandEaster wouldn’t be Easter without the many chocolate treats that have become synonymous with it.

Chocolate eggs top the list of course, and the many superb Irish artisan chocolatiers offer a wonderful choice, with many of them available online (including Jamie O’Neill’s, pictured here; click for more).

Children staying at The Brehon, Killarney this Easter for example, are in for an “eggs-tra special tasty treat”, as Kerry-based French chocolatier and eggs-pert Benoit Lorge (www.lorge.ie)will host a chocolate egg workshop at the hotel on Easter Saturday, where kids and parents will have the chance to make their very own truly scrumptious, chocolate Easter Eggs.
