Why are we talking about the Easter Bunny?
The origin of the Easter bunny finds its source in southern Germany.
This is where the tradition of the Easter hare was born in the course of the 17th century.
At the time, the inhabitants of the south of the Germanic Empire practiced fasting 40 days before Easter: they ate neither eggs nor meat.
This respite from the hunt allowed the hares to reproduce very quickly.
The arrival of spring was therefore synonymous with hares in numbers in the countryside.
It didn't take much to make it the symbol of spring, renewal and fertility!
Associated with Easter celebrations, the hare then became a simple rabbit.
Its representation in chocolate came much later: it arrived in France from the east, and then spread to the rest of the country.
The United States then
In summary, as often, it is religious and pagan customs that gave birth to the Easter bunny.
Today, we especially think of tasting its chocolate version, and a little less of watching the hares frolicking in the meadows.
Where to hide chocolate bunnies?
It is Easter tradition to hide chocolate bunnies in a garden.
It is true that a bush or a slightly high lawn are very practical for organizing an Easter bunnies hunt!
If you don't have a garden, you can make do with the planters on your balcony: children are especially interested in chocolate.
Inside, you can also hide them on the chairs under the table, under the sofa cushions, in the flower pots... there is no shortage of ideas for creating a playful rabbit and egg hunt, which is often fun , both children and parents.
Make your own chocolate bunny, is it possible?
Anything is possible with a little imagination, a suitable mold, and a few chocolate bars!
You just have to know that melting the chocolate necessary for the preparation of a molded Easter bunny requires increased temperature monitoring: it must first be melted at 40 or 45 degrees, then lower the temperature to at 34 degrees and add 5% cocoa butter powder (mycryo).
Next, the chocolate should reach around 30 degrees before being poured into your mould.
Then let it set for several hours.
Once the chocolate is perfectly set, you can unmold.
If you have opted for a two-part bunny, all you have to do is glue them together.
To do this, use a very slightly heated pan to melt one side of the rabbit and gently stick it to the second part.
It will be easier to do this if you have completely filled your mold with chocolate… plus, it's much more delicious that way!
