Stars over the dunes inspire a choc treat
ACHOCOLATIER was inspired by the stunning nature in Southport to create a Starry Night themed Easter egg.
RS Fine Chocolate, which has chocolate shops in Churchtown Village and Ainsdale Village in Southport, created the incredible designs based on the area’s famous sand dunes.
The artistic chocolate eggs depicted the dunes under a night sky.
They even pay tribute to the area’s legendary rare Natterjack Toads.
RS Fine Chocolate owners Robert and Jo Swinden said the eggs celebrated the ‘beautiful’ sand dunes and the nocturnal Natterjack Toads, with mini toads inside each Easter egg.
The firm also sold a wide variety of other specially created chocolate
Easter eggs and other treats this year.
RS Fine Chocolate celebrated opening its new artisan chocolate shop on Botanic Road in Churchtown Village in November last year.
Robert and Jo have already forged a superb reputation as top class chocolatiers from their existing shop in Ainsdale.
They said: “We are delighted to fit right into the beautiful historic Botanic Road in Churchtown. Some people might remember this as a former little quaint chocolate shop and we are proud to create something really special here.”
RS Fine Chocolate began as an artisan chocolatier in the heart of Ainsdale Village.
Specialists in bespoke chocolate work, everything is hand crafted onsite in their ‘chocolate box’ sized shop using traditional methods of tempering, moulding and filling pralines by chocolatier Robert Swinden.
Most recipes originate from over 30 years experience gained working alongside master chocolatiers from Belgium, Germany and France.
Taking this inspiration, the firm has put a local twist on the recipes, such as Strawberry Fields, Everton Toffee Mint, Cheshire Honey Flower, Liverpool Gin, Maritime Salted Caramel, Marmalade Sky, Aintree Dark Caramel (Jockeys Cap!), and the Haydock Hazelnut and Cognac praline.
They said: “We wanted to produce artisan chocolates that also linked in our beautiful landscape, local wildlife and heritage. Something for our community to feel proud of.”
