Easter Indulgence: Perfect Chocolate Pairings

Easter is a time of renewal, joy, and, of course, delicious treats! As we celebrate with friends and family, there’s no better way to elevate your Easter experience than by pairing exquisite chocolates and pralines with Jukes. Whether you prefer the bright, refreshing notes of Jukes 1, the deep, berry-rich complexity of Jukes 6, or the delicate fruitiness of Jukes 8, there’s a perfect chocolate match for every sip.

Jukes 1 & White or Fruity Chocolates

Jukes 1 is a beautifully fragrant blend, built on the fresh flavours of peach blossom, cucumber, plum, tart apple, and pineapple husk, with a zesty lemon finish. This crisp and refreshing profile pairs exquisitely with:

  • White Chocolate & Citrus Pralines – The creamy, vanilla-laden sweetness of white chocolate balances the tart and fruity notes of Jukes 1, while pralines filled with lemon or passion fruit enhance its citrusy brightness.

  • Almond & Honey Pralines – The nutty depth of almond pralines complements the fresh, slightly tart apple notes in Jukes 1, creating a well-rounded and satisfying pairing.

  • Salted Caramel Chocolates – The balance of sweet caramel and a hint of sea salt highlights the layered fruit flavours in Jukes 1, especially its plum and pineapple undertones.

Jukes 6 & Dark Chocolate Delights

Jukes 6 is rich and complex, with deep flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, and plum, giving it an intense fruit-forward profile. To enhance its bold character, consider pairing it with:

  • Dark Chocolate Truffles – The luxurious bitterness of dark chocolate harmonises beautifully with Jukes 6’s deep berry notes, creating a truly indulgent experience.

  • Hazelnut & Cocoa Nib Pralines – The roasted, nutty flavours of hazelnut pralines add depth to the juicy fruitiness of Jukes 6, making for a dynamic and textured pairing.

  • Cherry & Red Fruit Ganache Chocolates – Chocolates filled with cherry or raspberry ganache mirror the rich berry essence of Jukes 6, enhancing its layered complexity.

Jukes 8 & Nutty, Creamy Chocolates

Jukes 8 presents a refined medley of melon, pomegranate, pear, rhubarb, and apple, with hints of vegetables and herbs that add intrigue. With its sleek, dry finish and touch of oceanic freshness, it pairs exceptionally well with:

  • Milk Chocolate & Hazelnut Pralines – The smooth sweetness of milk chocolate and the crunch of hazelnuts balance the tangy fruit notes in Jukes 8, making for a delightful contrast.

  • Pistachio & White Chocolate Pralines – Pistachio’s naturally buttery and slightly savoury qualities complement the pear and rhubarb notes in Jukes 8, while white chocolate adds a creamy touch.

  • Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt & Caramel – The saline hint in these chocolates echoes Jukes 8’s subtle coastal vibe, enhancing its elegant dryness and fruit-forward appeal.
