Beautifully dressed in gold, tied with a red ribbon, and crowned with a bell, the signature Lindt Gold Bunny, first created in Germany in 1952, has become the centrepiece of Easter celebrations everywhere.
The story goes, that one Easter the young daughter of a Lindt Maître Chocolatier spotted a bunny in the long grass as the family was having a traditional Easter brunch. Excitedly she asked if she could go outside to play with it. Her father consented but as she ran to the door, the bunny promptly vanished into the bushes with a single flash of its tail.
For days, she was heartbroken. Her father thought long and hard how he could cheer her up before alighting on the perfect idea. He decided to craft a bunny so she could always find her little friend: the Lindt Gold Bunny was born. Every year after that, his daughter looked forward to hunting for her little Gold Bunny in the garden with family.
