Bunnies, Bunnies, Bunnies...

Bunnies aren’t part of my Easter traditions. I only had eggs when I was a kid, bigger or smaller eggs but only eggs. I still have quite a distinct memory of a giant-like chocolate egg which was more or less my size; I remember it was standing in a shopwindow of a bar in the main street and it was destined to the lucky winner of a lottery. It was of a shining red with a big ribbon and some flowers on top. 

Eggs were in all shopwindows, but no bunnies. Bunnies are not wild animals here, we don’t see them run happily in parks and gardens like in England and are only recently become home pets. They are quite popular anyway, but they are bred like chickens and eaten as a delicacy. 

I first saw a chocolate bunny, the Lindt bunny when I was a teenager and it looked rather exotic to my eyes: it could never substitute the Easter Egg on our Easter tables though. Some years ago while wondering in the street of a German town I saw a bunny mould: I bought it and I’ve had my Easter bunny since then. I’ve tried to make it in chocolate but with no good results until I made it my way: the Cake and the Rice Krispies Bunny.

What about walking in a Bunny's Garden?
