These Delicious Chocolate Bunnies Will Make You Very Hoppy

A chocolate bunny might just be the centerpiece of a great Easter basket, and for good reason: The best chocolate bunnies are as adorable as they are delicious! How did these quirky rabbit-shaped chocolates come to be? The exact origins of the Easter bunny are unclear, but some sources say German immigrants brought the legend of an egg-laying hare called "Osterhase" or "Oschter Haws" to Pennsylvania in the 17th century. Children would make nests for the hare's colored eggs, and eventually these Easter basket precursors expanded to include candies like chocolate bunny figurines, which also originated in Germany. Sales really took off around 1890, when a Pennsylvania man named Robert L. Strohecker used a five-foot-tall chocolate rabbit as a promotion at his drugstore.

If you're a chocolate lover like Ree Drummond, you probably won't have any trouble finding a chocolate bunny you love—the options these days are endless! And they don't stop with the classic foil-wrapped milk-chocolate version. You can choose from white chocolate and dark chocolate, too, and companies have also figured out how to turn just about any candy into a rabbit—think peanut butter cups and cookies and cream bars!

Read on for the 20 best chocolate bunnies you can buy now. If you don't like chocolate, add these Easter candies and Easter basket stuffers to your basket instead. While you're getting in the Easter spirit, check out these Easter decorating ideas, Easter game ideas for kids, and creative Easter egg ideas.
