A blind taste test of chocolate bunnies from major supermarkets and leading brands has crowned Lidl's 99p bunny as the overall winner, beating Lindt, Cadbury, and other own-brand rivals. The test, conducted by a consumer journalist, involved sampling eight bunnies anonymously, with the Lidl offering praised for its creamy texture and strong cocoa flavour.
The Lidl bunny, priced at just 99p, was described as pleasantly creamy and not overly sweet, with a flavour that convinced the taster it was the Lindt bunny. Its silver and gold packaging was deemed adorable, making it suitable as a gift for young children. However, the bunny is on the smaller side, so buying two may be necessary for a more satisfying treat.
Morrisons' bunny came joint second, offering a premium flavour with good cocoa taste and creaminess, though it was noted to be crumbly. Tesco's bunny, with its fluorescent yellow-gold packaging, was considered a close dupe for Lindt, with a creamy finish and rich flavour, but was slightly too sweet for the taster.
Lindt's gold bunny, priced at £5 for 100g, was found to be pleasantly creamy with a strong cocoa flavour, but overall too sweet. Waitrose's Hip Hop Harry, the most expensive at an undisclosed price, came in a box and featured a white chocolate carrot with truffle centre, but its chocolate shell was deemed delicious and creamy.
The test concluded that Lidl offers the best value and taste, making it a top choice for Easter treats. Other bunnies tested included Aldi, M&S, and Cadbury, though specific results for these were not detailed in the source.
