3littlekeets Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I loved getting huge, solid chocolate Easter bunnies in my basket. These days, it seems like the choices are nasty Palmer chocolate bunnies that horrid, or small, solid ones. If I could make GOOD chocolate and find HUGE molds, I just might make my own bunnies when the kids were out of the house:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie in NJ Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 yes, and the hollow ones are a major disappointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Lindt makes pretty good ones, but they are hollow and not huge. I totally know where you're coming from on this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3littlekeets Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 yes, and the hollow ones are a major disappointment In my quest for good bunnies, I found a blog post about stuffing the hollow bunnies to make Easter turduckens, bahhhh. They used Cadbury Creme Eggs. I'd fill mine with peanut butter cups :D, but alas, I want a big solid bunny for my kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Have you checked your local craft store in the cake decorating section or a kitchen supply store? Both might have them this time of year. Other than that, google chocolate bunny mold. http://www.shopbakersnook.com/220.html has an 8 inch one that is $4. Realize that if you want them solid it's going to take a lot longer time to set up properly so allow plenty of time for the kids to be gone. You could also google large solid chocolate easter bunnies. http://www.canipescandycitchen.com/seasonal/spring/index.htm has an 18 inch one that weighs 4 lbs (and costs $40). Is there a specialty chocolate shop in your area? Edited March 31, 2009 by KarenNC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli in TN Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Can I suggest a different way of looking at this issue? My older kids liked to bite the heads off their chocolate bunnies and then fill the body with peanut butter. And my oldest daughter liked to bite the head off her bunny and then pour milk into the body and drink it down while nibbling her way down the bunny's body. Hollow bunnies do have some advantages if you are willing to look at it in a different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julesmama3 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 You probably wouldn't go to all this trouble but Wolfgang Candy in PA has awesome chocolate that you can order online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 We order ours through Vermont Nut Free Chocolate.... We haven't actually done the bunnies, but we did Santa. Also, I'm not sure if they were hollow or not, but they were good chocolates. All of their chocolates and jelly beans have been really good.

Stacy in NJ Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 We get ours from a local chocolate maker. Look around your area for a candy maker. They often give free samples. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanga Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 We like See's Bunnies. I buy a semi-hollow version. I always buy their hollow eggs with novelty. It is a chocolate egg with a white chocolate chick on the inside. My personal favorite is their chocolate butter eggs. I should add that this is exactly what my mom put in our basket, so this feels just like my childhood when I do it for my dc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theodwyn Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Dove makes a solid one in both dark and milk chocolate. Not huge, but not tiny either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Really? When I was a kid they were hollow, too. And I'm no spring chicken! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I still see 1lb. solid, flat chocolate bunnies at Walmart, but they probably aren't great chocolate. However, I always liked the taste of the hollow ones better. As a kid I bit off the top of the ears then filled mine with jelly beans, then alternated eating jelly beans and chocolate all the way down until it was gone.

BikeBookBread Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Go to See's! They cost a bit more, but honestly not that much, and they taste SOOOOO good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3littlekeets Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thank you for all the great links...I have found some awesome options. Sadly, we don't have any local candy stores. For a laugh, I did find this about Palmer's on my search..I actually laughed out loud at the descriptions! http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/item/palmer_hollow_chocolate_flavored_bunny/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
