Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses' Mini Eclair Collection (by invitation)

I love this time of the year.  No more autumn, no more winter, and hello to spring, summer and a lot of festive-making!  With Halloween (I love how the neighbourhood kids go trick or treating nowadays) and the Melbourne Cup just around the corner, the calendar is telling us it's time to indulge.

With indulgence in mind, the Eat and Be Merry Crew took up Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses' challenge to "d'eclair their love" by trying their new mini eclair collection.

A half dozen of mini Nutella-infused mini eclairs from Ferguson Plarre Bakehouse


These eclairs are handmade and filled with a smooth Nutella-infused cream custard filling and covered in chocolate icing and topped with a hazelnut streusel. They're a perfect size - not too small and not too big.  And if you eat more than one you don't feel greedy because they're mini in size.  And everyone knows that mini things don't count towards the daily calorie count.

They're not too sweet and go great with a cuppa.  The mini size makes them ideal as part of a Melbourne Cup picnic or a more grown-up Halloween party.

They're really great value at $2.50 each, or if you buy 5 you get one free.  Two more flavours will be coming out between now and Christmas.

You can order the mini eclairs online from Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses' website or at one of their shops around town.
