What's Easter without a chocolate bunny? We want to know: What is the proper way to eat it? Here are some bunny facts from the National Confectioners Association: The tradition of the Easter Hare began in the 1800s with the Germans, who would leave brightly colored eggs for their children. The first recorded instance of this tradition being adopted in the U.S. was recorded in 1890 in Pennsylvania. Chocolate bunnies are the most popular items in Easter baskets. 66 percent of Americans prefer solid Easter bunnies over hollow ones. Sales of Easter candy are expected to be over $2 billion in 2016.
