The history of Lindt GOLD BUNNYIt all began with a girl and a bunny …The story goes that one bright spring morning in March, the young daughter of a Lindt Master Chocolatier spotted a little bunny in her garden. She was utterly mesmerized and excitedly asked if she could go outside to play with the little animal. Her father agreed, but as she ran to the door, the bunny promptly vanished into the bushes with a flash of its fluffy tail. For days, the little girl was heartbroken by the bunny’s disappearance. Deeply touched by how upset his daughter was, the father came up with a brilliant idea. He decided to craft a bunny out of the finest milk chocolate, wrapped it in gold paper, and hung a little golden bell on a red ribbon around its neck so that his daughter would always be able to find it. The GOLD BUNNY was born.

The first Lindt GOLD BUNNY was created in 1952.Thanks to Rodolphe Lindt and his conching machine, chocolate could be melted down until smooth enough to coat moulds of any shape, ready to create delightful hollow chocolate figures – like the silky smooth and indulgent Lindt GOLD BUNNY. The Lindt GOLD BUNNY celebrated its 70^th birthday in 2022, when over 130 million GOLD BUNNY were produced and sold across 70 countries worldwide.

At Lindt & Sprüngli, each chocolate creation is made with precise and loving care. The manufacturing process to bring a GOLD BUNNY to life takes about one hour. After a mould is covered with fine chocolate, our GOLD BUNNY is cooled at the optimum temperature to achieve the perfect sheen and crisp texture. Then, each GOLD BUNNY is carefully wrapped in our signature gold foil and polished. Finally, each GOLD BUNNY is lovingly hand-finished with a red ribbon and bell.
