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 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.
