spring is finally here and although it may not appear to have arrived just yet, all we can think about around here is warm sunny days, budding flowers, and one of our favorite holidays of the year: easter. our favorite easter tradition? easter baskets filled to the brim with whimsical confections. but, in the markoff group spirit, we’re not going to settle for conventional easter candy. cadbury eggs? no thanks. marshmallow peeps? we’ll pass. jelly beans? child’s play. we take our easter candy seriously. and as self-proclaimed chocoholics, nothing says easter like chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate, preferably adorable and packed with unique flavors. luckily, once again, vosges’ easter collection has left no delectable stone unturned. as easter’s april 24th date is approaching, make sure you get your orders in before these treats hop away in two shakes of a rabbit’s tail. here are a few of our favorite vosges easter treats.
with a big hop, three jumps and a flop of the ear, the exotic bunny collection colony returns from both far and near. each solid bunny weighs in at 2.5 oz. but don’t be fooled by their floppy ears and adorable visages, these solid chocolate bunnies are not your run-of-the-mill rabbits. each heavenly hare hides a delectable surprise such as mexican ancho and chipotle chiles and ceylon cinnamon, hickory smoked almonds and sea salt, tahitian vanilla bean disguised beneath 62% dark chocolate, and sweet butter toffee complimented by pink himalayan salt. $12 each
