easter bunnies

Chocolate Easter bunnies and eggs herald in the start of spring in many countries. In 2014, Easter confectionery sales in the United States surged 6 percent and chocolate eggs and bunnies led the surge according to the National Confectioners’ Association.

To meet this booming demand, chocolate manufacturers work hard to provide consumers with a wide variety of treats to enjoy in a diversity of shapes.
