Seriously, how gorgeous are these chocolate eggs from Coco Chocolate, one of Sydney's finest chocolate artisans, in the heart of Kirribilli?!
Handmade from delicious organic chocolate by chocolatier extraordinaire Rebecca K and her team, these beautiful babies are the perfect gifts for newborns and happy parents.
I know that when it's my turn to have babies, I want one of these instead of bland hospital food, thank you very much.
Icing on the cake, the "Newly Hatched Chocolate Eggs" come in two different colours, pink for baby girls and blue for baby boys.
Now if you've made it all the way to Kirribilli to buy one of these yummy egg boxes, you might as well treat yourself to a little something while you're there. My recommendation? Go for Rebecca's amazing hot chocolates. They come in a dozen different flavours, my favourites being the Aztec blend (with chili, cinnamon and orchid vanilla) and the Rose & Black Pepper.
Now because Rebecca K is a smart lady (and knows all too well that not everyone has a newborn in their immediate circle they can use as an excuse to visit the store and buy a box of her delicious Newly Hatched Chocolate Eggs), she's also come up with a grown-up version of the egg box, with a selection of white, milk and dark chocolate eggs. How cool...
And if you want more chocolate goodness in your life, why not join one of our indulgent Deluxe Artisan Chocolate tours? We're also part of the Sydney International Food Festival (SIFF) in October, with a series of really exciting 'round-the-world' chocolate tours on Oct 9, 16, 23 and 30.
So tell me, where else in Sydney or online to you go shopping for really cute gifts for babies and new parents?

PS: stay tuned, Rebecca is about to open her 2nd Australian store in Mosman in September, and word is the store will be fabulous!!
I went to a chocolate tasting evening at Coco Chocolate and it was such a nice experience! I can't wait for the Mosman shop to open as I live right near by!

Owwhhh, I do like the grown up version of Newly Hatched Eggs. I've not heard of this place, so its good to know. I haven't had anyone around with newborn bubbies for ages, so I'm a bit at a loss with that one...., but I like your idea of chokkies for the new Mum!

Hi Maria! I'm glad you got to enjoy one of these chocolate appreciation classes - wasn't it fun?! I learnt heaps when I was there, in addition to tasting all sorts of delicious chocolates.
PS: being in Manly, I can't wait till the opening of the new Coco Chocolate Mosman store, I know where I'll be going for chocolate cravings ;-)
