I was thinking good thoughts while munching on the chocolate hands. This was another Easter related chocolate for this week leading up to Easter Sunday.

Chocolate Bunnies in the news...

I read in an article that last year that more than 90 million chocolate rabbits were produced in the U.S. for Easter. This data apparently came from the National Confectioners Association.

"A survey by the association revealed that 76 percent of chocolate bunny eaters bite the ears first, and 42 percent of sweet eaters preferred solid chocolate bunnies. Of those people surveyed, 21 percent said they preferred a hollow chocolate bunny, 10 percent wanted to see a marshmallow bunny in their basket and 9 percent wanted other types of Easter candies."

This information was from a (New Hampshire) "Telegraph" article by Andrea Bushee entitled "Sweet shops make their own chocolate bunnies" that ran yesterday, Wed. March 19, 2008.
