Mignon (chocolate 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 recipe 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.
