I was expecting them to say “it’s not hollow, its filled with the holy spirt.”

I MUCH prefer solid chocolate. If the product doesn’t specify that it is solid chocolate, I will not purchase it. And after 40 years, I’ve never broken a tooth.

It’s simply because a chocolate bunny doesn’t eat :P http://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-stock-photos-easter-bunny-rimage1964508-resi239750 :)

When I was a little girl my aunt gave me a solid chocolate bunny (about 14″ tall)and he had the wicker basket on his back with jelly beans on top of the basket. I had no trouble demolishing it! And, yes, Sharyn, my aunt lived in Queens(South Ozone Park, to be exact, across from Baisley Park) Years later we had a big dog, combo Irish Setter/Doberman, who ate a solid chocolate bunny, a little smaller he got out of a cabinet. No problem, later he gulped down a pound of butter he swiped off the table!!

My parents always gave us a sold chocolate Easter bunny (usually Russell Stover). I consider a hollow one to be cheap, especially the Palmer chocolate-flavored ones. If I want chocolate,give me Belgian,Dove,Ghiradelli or Russell Stover! Palmer chocolate isn’t chocolate!

I just miss the toy that used to come inside. Usually a metallic cricket noise maker shaped as different animals or amphibians. I’m surprised no one had mentioned it, am i that old?

Because it makes it easier to bite off the head and leave the decapitated body in an obscure place (like I did this morning)…….

I always thought it was so you could fill it with milk once you bit the ears off! At least, that is the tradition in my family.

Well, I guess I’ve never been disappointed at least with chocolate bunnies. My mom still buys me a solid Chocolate bunny for Easter and I am 50! Go figure? Well, of course my taste has changed somewhat, out with the Milk chocolate and it’s been Dark chocolate Baby! the last few years. Lindt last year and I think I got a solid Dark chocolate Godiva Bunny this year!!!! Hey but it’s really about our lord Jesus Christ anyways. This is the most important thing isn’t it so?

Happy Easter all, and God Bless all!

can you tell me why palmer can’t make a peanut free chocolate easter bunny? It always takes me weeks to find a good chocolate easter bunny for my kids who are very allergic to peanuts.

I remember vividly getting a chocolate bunny in my Easter basket when I was about 7 years old. I always had a soft spot for animals and could not bring myself to bite off an ear or any other appendage. I was sure I would be deemed a murderer for ever more. I tucked him in a draw and didn’t know quite what to do with him. I would check periodically to be sure he was still there. By July, he was being devoured by worms. My efforts to save him were in vain.
The year prior to that I had found to my dismay, a professionally stuffed (by a taxidermist) baby duck in my Easter basket. I cried for days, traumatized by the brutal acts of the Easter Bunny.
When I was 9,I read Animal Farm , by George Orwell and developed a deep awareness for animal cruelty. I have been a strict vegetarian for 35 years.
Now when I see a child bite the head off that cute bunny or the marshmallow peep, it immediately reminds me of the day my daughter’s boyfriend bit the head off a live bullfrog.
Your article is interesting and entertaining and brought back fond memories.

When I first had a solid chocolate Easter bunny, I was disappointed that it didn’t taste as good (to me) as the Palmer hollow ones. I agree, though, that eating the (solid) ears was one of the best parts. I like hollow chocolate bunnies still (and it’s been a LONG time since I got one in my Easter basket).

Hollow chocolate bunnies rate right up there with kissing your sister. I think it’s a dirty trick to play on the kids. It’s been 50 years since I was a kid, and both my wife and daughter would never give Dad a hollow bunny. The most fun is biting off the ears, and it just isn’t the same if they are hollow.
