Easter time is chocolate time. As an Easter treat, children everywhere are receiving the coveted chocolate bunny: Gotti, Götti, Grosi and Co. They all love filling an Easter basket with it – a simple gift that little ones with a sweet tooth will be particularly happy with. But it is not uncommon for Easter chocolate to literally come out of the ears of not only parents, but also children after a few days. We present 27 ideas on how to recycle inedible Easter bunny chocolate.

People can store food they no longer need in public refrigerators and make it freely available to others. The “Madame Frigo” project distributed almost 140 public refrigerators throughout Switzerland. So someone else will definitely be happy about their late Easter gift.

Non-profit organizations such as “Schweizer Tafel” or “Tischlein deck dich” save food from being thrown away and redistribute it to families in need. Or why not stop by your local street kitchen, emergency shelter, homeless shelter or women’s shelter and hand over the chocolate bunnies yourself?

People working in the office, on a construction site or anywhere else will definitely be happy to eat dessert during their coffee breaks. Based on our experience, we can say that chocolate residues always disappear very quickly, even in large quantities. This also keeps the team in a good mood.

If there is little remaining chocolate, you can cook it in the next tomato sauce. Italian foodies swear by it!

Easter bunnies can also flavor meat dishes: sauces benefit from a touch of chocolate. For example, Betty Bossy recommends duck breast fillet with red wine and chocolate sauce.

Chocolate can be used to sweeten and refine soups. Yes really! For example, how about Jerusalem artichoke soup with red pepper and white chocolate?

Imagine all your friends bringing their Easter bunnies and eating chocolate fondue with fresh berries together. What a celebration for young and old!

Add milk to the mixer along with some vanilla ice cream and melted chocolate and mix vigorously. To attract more attention, break off the ears of a smaller Easter bunny and pour the chocolate mixture directly into the bunny and eat it through a tube. Click here for the “Migusto” idea.

Heat the milk, cream and vanilla sugar in a pot, stirring constantly, slowly add the crumbled rabbit to the foamy mixture and let it melt completely. Then let the mixture cool, pour it into ice cream molds and place it in the freezer for at least four hours. Our homemade chocolate ice cream is ready.

To do this, mix the chocolate with the nuts of your choice and improve with cream if necessary. You can add sugar, honey or spices if you want. Swiss Milk has a homemade Nutella recipe.

Banana bread was a quarantine classic. While everyone had to stay at home, almost no recipe received this much support. Banana bread is best served garnished with chocolate chips. But this also works with crumbled chocolate bunnies. Annemarie Wildeisen has a recipe.

Chocolate isn’t just good for feasting on. Have you heard of the chocolate face mask? It not only strengthens, moisturizes and nourishes your skin, but also stimulates your feelings of happiness. Snacks allowed!

Chocolate can be stored indefinitely in the freezer and eaten at the end of your Easter chocolate binge. And don’t worry, if the chocolate turns white, it’s just a visual defect. This does not affect durability. If you are storing chocolate in the refrigerator, you should be careful not to store it too close to other foods, as chocolate can quickly take on the taste of other foods due to its high fat content.

After barbecuing for dessert, remove the frozen Easter bunny from the freezer and place it on a napkin in the center of the table. It’s especially fun for kids: hit the bunny with a toy hammer or similar and then quickly grab a piece of frozen chocolate before the pieces start to melt.

Can chocolate bunnies be hung on the Christmas tree instead of chocolate Santas? We think: Yes! Let the bunnies sleep in the freezer throughout the summer and give them a new life at Christmas time.

Homemade pralines make a nice gift. And as we all know, a lot of chocolate is needed to make them. So you can turn the old hand into a noble delicacy. Betty Bossi also has advice here.

Chocolate liqueur also makes a great souvenir for adults. And according to Betty Bossi, this can be done very quickly.

The third great homemade chocolate gift is broken chocolate. To do this, thaw rabbits of all colors and types, artfully spread them on a tray and let them flow together, enrich them with toppings such as nuts, seeds or edible leaves, let them dry and you’re done.

Melt the Easter chocolate, add the almonds, mix. Place the still wet chocolate almonds in a resealable container, add some cocoa and icing sugar, cover and shake until the almonds are all coated with cocoa/powdered sugar. Spread the almonds on baking paper and let them dry. Understood?

Chocolate strawberries are even easier: Melt the chocolate, dip the strawberry tips in, pat dry, and you’re done.

While we’re on the subject of simple recipes. Place the peeled banana on the plate, add the vanilla ice cream, top with the melted Easter bunny and you’re done.

The brownie recipe is also very simple and the flavors are ready for the oven in 20 minutes. Here is the prescription.

“Migusto” says the cup with warm berries, vanilla ice cream, mango and raspberry sorbet with chocolate sauce always tastes good. With chocolate bunny decorations, this is an Easter hit, but you can also use the bunny for the chocolate sauce and serve the cup after Easter.
