110 volt eggs
My mum's Finnish family visited them recently, so in an Easter parcel I got sent some
chocolate eggs, the classic Fazer Mignon in a special "110 V" edition. V for
"vuotta" as, apparently, the eggs have been produced for 110 years in Finland.
They take a chicken egg, remove the egg, then fill it with a tasty nougat
chocolate, then plug the hole with sugar. This is to me so obviously a clever
(and tasty) way of doing a chocolate egg, that I'm surprised that I haven't
seen the concept in other countries. Perhaps it is patented? Or does this
particular easter tradition exist in many other places in the world?

not patented i don't think (Score:2)
They are unique I believe, but likely not patented as I've started to see other brands doing similar candies in egg shells. The nougat formula is likely patented but I can't see how they could patent filled chicken eggs. :)
If you read to the bottom of http://www.axis-of-aevil.net/archives/2004/03/the_fazer_chick.html [axis-of-aevil.net] there are two translated pdfs that tell a bit more about how they are made.
