Chocolate for discerning Easter Bunnies
When you think of packing Easter Baskets with chocolate eggs and bunnies, you don't necessarily think Gearharts Fine Chocolates. More like those goodies you find at CVS and Walmart.
But this year gourmet chocolatier Tim Gearhart has responded, creating the cherished bunny eggs, but then melting them down to pure chocolate. Four thousand egg bunnies RIP!
As the package explains, Gearharts has melted its finest "Easter eggs" into a "no-fuss" milk chocolate bar with Spanish almonds and fine wafer flakes.
"We get a lot of seasonal requests for molded Easter eggs and bunnies, but it is just not our thing," explains Hamilton. "With this Easter Egg Bar, customers get all of the Eastery goodness without the cliché."
Gearhart's also packages some organic peanut butter truffles in an Egg-shaped box, but that little specialty has already sold out this Easter season.
