Easter Bunnies Unwrapped

We admit we're a li'l funny when it comes to chocolate bunnies. They're awfully cute in an Easter basket, but so often they collapse into shards upon the first munch. Or, even worse, they're chock full of mystery goo or taste just plain nasty. We lopped the ears off a few dozen hippity-hoppers so you and your kids will know just what's under the wrapping.

    Bunny Buddy with Double Crisp Bunny Pop 27 oz

    We're usually not so big on the hollow chocs, but this buddy comes bearing gifts! He may be empty inside, but the charming lolly fills the void.

    Bun for the buck: Good, but only because of the extra treat
    Contents: Hollow, with a solid, crispy chocolate lollipop
    Price: $9.99

    Lake Champlain
    Milk Chocolate 4 oz

    It's cartoon cute, but tastefully so, and boasts some truly delicious chocolate to boot.

    Bun for the buck: A very solid bet
    Contents: Solid milk chocolate
    Price: $9.99

    Lake Champlain
    White Chocolate 4.5 oz

    Not everyone's a white chocolate fan, but if you've got one on your bunny trail, this elegant, creamy cottontail is definitely the one to snare.

    Bun for the buck: One really regal rabbit
    Contents: Solid white chocolate
    Price: $9.99

    Ferrero Rocher
    Plastic Box 5.7 oz

    The box isn't chocolate, but it's crammed chock full of some of our favorite little nibbles. We won't quibble.

    Bun for the buck: So good, it's kinda nutty
    Contents: 13 Hazelnut-filled chocolates
    Price: $7.99

    Palmer
    Diva Da' Bunny 14 oz

    What's not to love about a bunny who brings her own bling? She may not be the most delicious, but she's certainly the most diva-licious.

    Bun for the buck: Top of the hop, design-wise
    Contents: Hollow milk chocolate with candy necklace
    Price: $7.49

    Godiva
    Milk chocolate 2.25 oz

    If you've got a Godiva freak on your must-give list, this is your cheapest way out. It's cute (oh, that bow!) and silky-smooth, to be sure, but would it have killed 'em to make him solid?

    Bun for the buck: Pricey for the size - you're mostly paying for the Godiva name
    Contents: Hollow, foil-wrapped
    Price: $6.50

    Frankford Impressions
    Jackrabbit 5 oz

    We held off from cutting into this one until the very end because it was sooooo cute, and even after, there were scuffles to see who'd take him home. Think of it as décor rather then dessert.

    Bun for the buck: Not much choc for the dollar, but that's not why you're buying this one
    Contents: Hollow multi-chocolate
    Price: $5.99

    Rachel Been, AOL

    Belfine
    Belgian Chocolate 2.65 oz

    Often when design gets this fussy, the chocolate flavor suffers. Not so for this multi-colored cottontail. Bonus points for the fancy li'l bag.

    Bun for the buck: Beaucoup
    Contents: Hollow chocolate
    Price: $5.99

    Russell Stover
    Milk Chocolate 12 oz

    This one's a classic for a reason. It may not be life-changing chocolate, but it'll keep 'em smiling 'til 'round about Flag Day.

    Bun for the buck: Big time
    Contents: Solid milk chocolate
    Price: $5.99

Tip of the Day

December may have peppermint bark, but have you thought to incorporate the taste of autumn into white chocolate with a rich pumpkin swirl?
