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.
Follow our bunny trail from most to least expensive chocolate treats, or use the menu feature to hop all around.

Palmer
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.

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.

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

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
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
