I was just reading this fascinating article from The Independent about the origin of the chocolate bunny and egg we sometimes get as a treat in our Easter baskets. According to the article, The chocolate bunny, like the chocolate Easter egg, is a much more recent idea, stemming from 18th and 19th-century middle European confectionery traditions, many of which were adopted in Britain.Hmm very interesting. Perhaps some of the Devonshire progeny enjoyed a chocolate egg or two!
That is fascinating! I have to wonder whether the Progeny gave Miss Trimmer as much chocolate-induced trouble as my daughter is giving me today!
ReplyDeleteI did not know this about chocolate bunnies! Happy Easter, Heather! Vic
ReplyDeleteRachael that is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Vic! I just conveniently stumbled upon that fact last night and now all I want to do is investigate further.
That's an interesting article! Easter has always been such a fun holiday.
ReplyDeleteI thought of this post as I ate a chocolate bunny today.
