Deniks Bakery is a business that started with online sales and has recently opened a store in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Christian Soldán passionately shares with Time Out how seriously they take the chocolate world. He mentions they offer an almond caramelized Easter egg and another one with hazelnut gianduja, featuring a unique layer with visible nuts.

However, this year, the standout is the pistachio-shaped egg, a double-layer egg. The outer shell is made of caramelized Belgian chocolate, while the inner egg is pistachio chocolate filled with caramelized nuts.

In the chocolate world, there is undoubtedly one figure that keeps making waves and creates a story with every launch, giving a special meaning to his creations. He is chocolatier Rodrigo Bauni, founder of Purocacao, who this year launched an Easter collection inspired by the beautiful Japanese cherry blossom trees: the Cherry Blossoms Eggs.

Bauni uses chocolate as a tool to create a work of art: “These eggs are ephemeral art, like the cherry blossom, meant to enjoy every unique and unrepeatable moment.” Definitely a unique gift if you want to surprise someone special. Handmade, hand-painted, each piece is one-of-a-kind.
