26-3-2024
During the run-down to Easter, Patisserie de Rouw introduces a number of new creations. The distinctive chocolaterie Easter assortment has been expanded with three new chocolate figures filled with rice-crisp: the Heart Thief, Chickie and the pet hare Flappie. Furthermore, the “Wij houden van Holland” assortment will be available in their store and online after Easter. In addition, it has recently become possible to obtain the famous nougatine pie in pre-cut super tight pieces.
We think their ‘Wij houden van Holland’ assortment is absolutely great. Nice idea, if your restaurant or hotel is located in a characteristic building, to have a mini chocolate house made of this? Think KLM-style houses! 😉
