How to Make a Chocolate Bunny

With just a couple days to Easter, Raymer's Homemade Candies is pumping out the chocolate bunnies as fast as their fine Belgian chocolate allows.

I stopped into Raymer’s Homemade Candies Thursday for a quick peek behind the scenes of where chocolate bunnies come from. Sue Raymer was at the front counter and Mark was in the back popping bunnies from their molds.

Amy Cox, chief bunny maker on Thursday, demonstrated the technique.

The two halves of the mold are snapped together then the chocolate is poured in from the bottom to coat the mold. Then bunny is turned upside down so the excess chocolate spills out, back into the vat.

Once the chocolate cools and hardens, they gently pop open the mold, and shave off any excess around the seams.

Presto! A chocolate bunny.
