Dove's bunny (also featuring a new packaging look) might not be anything to write home about, but most praised its smooth and melty texture, darker, more robust cacao content, and creamy finish. All in all we felt that it was not bad by any means, but not great either.
9Palmer Hollow Milk Chocolate Bunny

Creepy jaundiced eyes aside, Palmer's bunny was near-universally reviled, at best earning two stars. Chalky, dry, and overwhelmingly sweet, this Easter "treat" prompted a few tasters to ask if it was made of real chocolate and even garnered the comment that it "tastes like Scotch tape" and would only be "good if you want kids to hate Easter for life."

8Brach's Solid Milk Chocolate Rabbit

An off-putting, chemical-laden aftertaste sealed Brach's bunny's fate. Beyond that, we wished that it had a more prominent chocolate hit; most felt that it merely tasted sweet, and at best chocolate-flavored.

7Hershey's Hollow Bunny

Waxy, sweet, and unbalanced, Hershey's bunny tasted exactly like, well, a Hershey's bar. Essentially, it's only worth purchasing if you have a nostalgic fondness for the classic American candy bar.

A more prominent chocolate flavor helped Russell Stover's bunny rise to the middle of the pack, with some tasters praising its nutty, coconut-tinged, darker chocolate flavor. Still, its waxy texture kept it off of our short list of those that we'd recommend.

5Cadbury Dairy Milk Hollow Milk Chocolate Bunny

Fudgy in a way that coats the roof of your mouth, Cadbury's option (it now has a different packaging than pictured above) was middling, but essentially acceptable. Some appreciated that it tasted slightly salty and tangy, making its otherwise-overpowering sugar levels more tolerable, while others felt it simply tasted cheap.

4Hershey's Bliss Hollow Milk Chocolate Bunny

More complex in flavor than some, with a tobacco-like darker chocolate note, the Hershey's Bliss bunny wasn't something we'd likely purchase again, but it did manage to win over one taster who exclaimed that it "tastes like Nutella."

Dove's bunny (also featuring a new packaging look) might not be anything to write home about, but most praised its smooth and melty texture, darker, more robust cacao content, and creamy finish. All in all we felt that it was not bad by any means, but not great either.

2Godiva Solid Milk Chocolate Bunny

Rich, creamy, fudgy, and darker than most, Godiva's bunny (now in a sleek blue box) reminded our tasting crew of everything from brownie batter to chocolate ice cream, and it was a close first runner-up. Our only so-called gripe: some felt it was almost too luxurious for a bunny.

1Lindt Hollow Milk Chocolate Bunny

Lindt's bow-bedecked bunny first won us over with its less-is-more, elegant packaging, but it's what's inside that matters — right? Thankfully, this option was no slouch in the flavor department either; buttery, rich, and with a smooth, mouth-coating melt, the chocolate was even proclaimed to be the ideal milk chocolate by two tasters. All in all, if Easter just isn't Easter without a chocolate bunny in the mix, stick to the gold standard.
