Our 10 Favorite Chocolate Easter Eggs & Bunnies

When it comes down to it, celebrating Easter is really all about indulging in excessive amounts of adorably shaped chocolate. This holiday proves that nothing is more satisfying than biting off the ears of a rabbit, followed by as many of those bright foil-covered eggs as you can fit in your mouth. 

But before you start destroying months of hard work on the part of chocolatiers, take a moment to admire their art. Trends like bacon-infusion are infiltrating Easter candy this year, and candy makers are even producing chocolate quail eggs to add a gourmet touch to the madness. Feast your eyes on their creations below and then, by all means, eat your way into a chocolate stupor in the name of Easter.
