Description
The Noble Chafer Beetle is one of my favourite chocolate animals that I make here at The Edible Museum.
It is a striking, metallic green and lives hidden away in traditional orchards.
This one is made from Belgian couverture chocolate and sits in a solid chocolate frame – 255g of tasty joy in total.
It is all chocolate, the beetle and frame too, so plenty to share with your entomology friends. I hand paint all the details from its iridescent body to its tiny legs and antennae and I think this is why I like it so much. I spend a lot of time with it before it is ready to box up and send to someone and by then I almost don’t want to say goodbye!
Now available in White, Milk or Dark Chocolate.

More about this vulnerable species:
As its habitat reduces the Noble Chafer beetle is becoming increasingly rare and is classified as Vulnerable, which means it has a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
This beautiful beetle prefers traditional orchards that contain mature fruit trees of 50 to 80 years old. These sites are often cleared as the trees are reach the end of their productive life.

I recently gifted one to a fossil insect specialist and he was bowled over! He’s saving it until the “consume by” date so he can enjoy looking at it and showing it to fellow insect specialists!

We had this set out for a party and in addition to being stunningly beautiful and realistic, the chocolate is fantastic! Thank you!

My wife is absolutely in love with it. Best Valentine’s gift ever! Though I doubt she’s ever going to eat it.

I got this as a present and it was wonderfully received, thank you to Sarah for providing a wonderful service and for a beautiful creation. It was so admired, the recipient still hasn’t eaten it!

I purchased this beetle for my partner for Valentine’s Day. She spends some of her time working in our Nature Museum preserving animals/insects and I thought this would be fantastic. She loved it. The customer service was great, the bug was presentation worthy…but this chocolate is the best part. We got the dark chocolate and it is silky smooth and just the right sweetness. I should have ordered myself one as well. Next time.
Also, the packaging is adorable and everything arrived safely and quickly. Can’t say enough good things about The Edible Museum. Thanks.
