Mignon (chocolate egg)

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 3 min

A partly shelled Mignon egg.

The Mignon chocolate egg is an Easter confectionery made by the Fazer company.[1] Its distinctive features are a filling of almond-hazelnut nougat inside a real eggshell. The Mignon is the second oldest Fazer product (only surpassed by the Pihlaja marmalade candy), dating back to 1896, when Karl Fazer brought the idea from Germany.[2]

Enduringly popular as parts of Finnish Easter celebrations with ca. two million eggs sold per year, Mignon eggs are handmade at the Fazer factory in Vantaa.
