Product Information

If you were to line them up nose to tail, they would span the distance from Lindt’s headquarters in Kilchberg, Switzerland to San Diego, California – that’s 9,800 kilometres. For those who like rich chocolate with high cacao content, the Lindt Excellence bars are perfect. The Excellence 85% Cocoa Robust Dark Chocolate Bar is a powerful and tart option that’s a true delight. There are also 70% and 85% cocoa bars, meaning there’s something for any dark chocolate lover! Now that the branded chocolate bunnies were all well and truly polished off, it was time to grab one from a supermarket, and the first up is Sainsbury's

However, when compared to the overly-sweet Cadbury milk chocolate bunny, Sainsbury's was a bit off a step up. In addition to the exclusive in-store and online 500g edition, the original Lindt gold bunny is available in five other sizes from various supermarkets and retailers, including 10g, 50g, 100g, 200g and 1kg versions. Introduced in 1949, Lindt Lindor was initially a chocolate bar with a melting centre. It wasn’t until Christmas of 1969 that the Lindt truffles became spherical in a bid to look more like a festive bauble! Following Christmas they left the range and there was uproar from chocolate lovers. Shortly after they returned and have been with us ever since! The iconic and instantly recognisable chocolate treats take around an hour to make. After coating a mould with their fine chocolate, the bunnies are left to cool at optimum temperature to attain the perfect sheen and crisp snap. That being said, one bite of Asda's chocolate made me completely rethink my ideas about what this chocolate would taste like.

Just like they have with the rest of their range, the Swiss chocolatiers have worked delicious flavours into their rich, dark chocolate bars.

For days, she was heartbroken. Her father thought long and hard how he could cheer her up before alighting on the perfect idea. He decided to craft a bunny, so that every year after that, his daughter could look forward to hunting for her little Lindt gold bunny in the garden with family.

Rodolphe Lindt used his conching machine so that chocolate could be melted down until smooth enough to coat moulds of any shape, ready to create hollow chocolate figures. Renowned expert and spokesperson for the Lindt Hoppiness Campaign, Dr Zoe Williams, said: "Simple pleasures really do lift our spirits. They are the icing on the cake of our lives – and proportionately contribute far more to our wellbeing than many more expensive treats do." Easter is only a couple of days away now, meaning that it is almost that other time of year where you can indulge in as much chocolate as you want - if you haven't already. Last, but certainly not least, was this rather interesting looking milk chocolate hollow Easter bunny from supermarket giant Asda.
