The Easter Bunny is a hugely popular part of Easter celebrations, particularly the chocolate kind. Every Easter, Brits buy around 80 million chocolate bunnies and eggs. While Easter eggs are the most famous Easter treat, bunnies have seen soaring popularity over the years. Perhaps the most well-known of these come from Lindt and Malteser, with both attracting huge sales and cult followings around Easter time. If you don’t consume dairy and are worried about missing out this Easter, you don’t need to worry – it’s now easier than ever to find a vegan chocolate bunny in UK supermarkets.
The dairy-free chocolate market is booming, having nearly doubled in value since 2018. It’s now worth around USD $1.2 billion. The range of vegan chocolate on offer at Easter has improved over the years, too. Many brands are creating their own dairy-free bunny “characters,” giving them names and a distinctive look.
So here are 10 vegan options to try from seven different brands.
