Description
Who bites the ears off first? In the Moreau household, this was a matter of great debate every Easter Sunday. Papa insisted on starting with the tail, Maman with the feet, and the twins simply attacked from both ends at once until nothing was left but foil and giggles. Grand-mère watched it all from her armchair with a cup of coffee and a knowing smile.
This porcelain chocolate rabbit is one treat that will survive every Easter morning intact. Its rich chocolate tones are brightened with festive colors, just like the beribboned bunnies lined up in a chocolatier’s window in early spring. Inside there is room for small trinkets, perhaps a jelly bean for luck or a tiny gold charm. Tuck it into an Easter basket among the real sweets, give it to a chocolate lover, or bring it out each spring to sit on the mantel with the painted eggs and pussy willows. Children love finding it, and grown-ups love that it never melts.
