The Easter eggs consist of milk chocolate that's been painted black and red-colored almonds for a crunchy exterior.

The idea for the chocolates came from Jean-François Pré, a French pastry chef.

Pré told French news outlet Le Telegramme in an interview that the idea came from his frustration with the issue. He created the Easter egg as a way to release the air out of the situation.
"I'm a little tired of hearing about it," Pré said. "I tried to take it as a joke."

The chocolate concoctions can be found proudly on display in Pré's shop in Western France and though sales haven't been going viral, the chocolatier had sold at least four as of March 4.
