A French pastry chef’s feverish love for chocolate takes on a new meaning with his newly-crafted coronavirus-themed Easter eggs.
Ahead of Easter, chocolatier Jean-François Pré began displaying the sweets inspired by COVID-19 at his shop in Landivisiau, Western France on 4 March, and at least four had already been snapped up, according to Le Telegramme.
The Easter eggs are made with a milk chocolate base, and are painted in black with a crunchy exterior of red-hued almonds to resemble the crown-like spikes of the novel coronavirus when viewed under a microscope.
In explaining his new creations, Pré said he was “a little tired” of hearing about the virus, and thus “tried to take it as a joke.”
