Milk Chocolate Bunny Bar

"When our candy buyer was assembling Easter baskets last spring, she was dismayed to find that many of the classic treats from her childhood contained artificial ingredients that she wasn’t too keen to give to her kiddos. So, she spent the better part of the season sowing the seeds… er, developing products that offered plenty of celebratory springtime charm, and none of the artificial flavors, preservatives, or synthetic colors. Fast forward to present day, and products like Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate Bunny Bar are in full bloom on our shelves! It’s a TJ’s tasting panel requirement that a given product’s taste must stand up to any kitschy visual or fancy packaging that might accompany it, and this Bar is no exception. It’s made for us in the U.K., using a base of rich, creamy Milk Chocolate that’s formed into an approximately five-inch-tall, Bunny-shaped Bar. That Bar is then topped with bright candy gems and rainbow nonpareils, both of which get their striking hues from ingredients like turmeric, spirulina extract, fruit juice, and beet powder. A sprinkling of caramel bits adds a sweet, slightly salty crunch, and the whole thing is gilded with a white chocolate drizzle. Packed in a brightly colored box with a window that allows you to see the Chocolate inside, this Bunny Bar is sure be an instant hit on Easter morning. Be sure to hop on over to your neighborhood Trader Joe’s and grab one soon—supplies are limited!"
