The Lindt bunny was invented in 1952. The story goes that one of Lindt chocolatiers was watching his daughter marvel at a bunny playing in the garden. When the rabbit vanished into the bushes, the little girl cried. The father decided to make a chocolate rabbit just like the one in the garden. The bunny is particularly popular at Easter and has many special editions based on variations in the chocolate and the foil wrappers.
Lindt bunnies are the butt of a few jokes at on Easter cards, usually based on their ears.
This is a fun cocktail for Easter, socialised booze experts The Bottle Club on their excellent Instagram feed. Inevitably, it involved marmalising the ears.
