The name 'papillote' refers to the paper wrapper that encases each piece, traditionally decorated with a small drawing or message. These candies offer a sweet, often fruity, chocolate experience in a convenient, single-serving format.

To enjoy a Révillon Papillote, simply unwrap the decorative paper to reveal the chocolate candy inside. The paper is designed to be easily peeled away. The candy can be eaten whole or savored in small bites. It pairs well with coffee or tea, and can also be used to add a touch of sweetness and visual appeal to a dessert plate. Some people enjoy collecting the small drawings found on the wrappers.

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining Révillon Papillotes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep them in their original wrappers to maintain freshness and prevent the chocolate from melting or becoming stale. Ensure the area is free from strong odors, as chocolate can absorb them.
