Les Folies de l’Écureuil is one of À la Mère de Famille’s most charming house specialties: caramelized almonds and hazelnuts coated in dark chocolate and finished with a dusting of cocoa. The product captures the old-fashioned Parisian confiserie style in a very simple, elegant form — crunchy, nutty, bittersweet, and easy to pack as a gift.

Although the exact year of its creation is not publicly stated, it carries the weight of a house founded in 1761, one of the oldest confectionery names in Paris.
