Spring is in the air, the garden is starting to bloom, and there’s another holiday on the horizon.
Observational analysis hypothesizes that an increase of auricular amputations of confectionary rabbits happens every spring. In layman’s terms, that means when it comes to chocolate bunnies, 59% of us eat the ears first.
Easter 2023 is April 9. The rabbits are busy making eggs, and the chocolatiers have been busy concocting new flavours, so hop on over to any of the four Mink retail cafe locations, or make your selections here online.
