Maltesers Mini Bunny Bag - 58g

Maltesers are one of those sweets every British household knows without being told, and the bunny is their Easter outfit. Each spring it turns up on the shelves next to the eggs, and it tends to go first.

Easter is when the particular shape suddenly matters. You can find chocolate anywhere, but if you grew up with the Maltesers bunny in your basket, that is the one you go looking for when it is your turn to fill the baskets, or when you just want a small taste of spring back home.

This is a 58g bag of minis, easy to split between a few baskets or scatter round the garden for a hunt. Keep it somewhere cool and dry in the cupboard, well away from the radiator, because a bunny that has been near the heating is a sad sight.

People usually pick these up with a proper Easter egg and a few other British chocolates, then build the baskets on the kitchen table. The minis fill the gaps, and the gaps are where the arguments start.
