Every year at Easter, chocolate bunnies hop around the gardens. There are a particularly large number of them on the road this year. They are also popular abroad.
Easter can come: The German confectionery industry produced around 240 million chocolate bunnies this year. This was announced by the Federal Association of the German Confectionery Industry (BDSI), based on a survey among its member companies.
Last year the number of Easter bunnies was 230 million, in 2022 it will be 239 million. Around half of the chocolate bunnies, around 118 million pieces, are sold in Germany.
The remainder are exported abroad – primarily to neighboring European countries, but also to the USA, Canada, Australia and South Africa. According to the association, the variant made from milk chocolate is still the most popular.
