Chocolate Bunny

What is the Easter significance of the chocolate bunny?

The chocolate bunny is an Easter classic, a symbol of renewal, fertility and spring. Easter is also associated with the bunny, a longtime symbol of fertility and the birth of new life in spring. The custom of the chocolate bunny has its roots in the 19th century when German chocolatiers first fashioned chocolate sweets into animals such as bunnies for Easter. From this point forward, the chocolate bunny became an Easter staple, placed in Easter baskets alongside other sweets and confections. The gorgeous design and rich, creamy flavour entice children and adults alike, and it is one of the most recognisable Easter confections in existence today.
