Add a bit of crunch to your basket bunch with the Maltesers bunny. This is no doubt a cute little addition to any Easter basket as a crunchy and creamy delight. Stick one or two halfway standing up in your baskets or even a cupcake, so the bunnies can pop out and say ‘hi!’.

Jelly Carrots

Jelly Carrots are a fruity orange flavoured gummy that would be a great companion for any of the bunnies in your basket.

Some of the chocolate bunnies (dependent on which size you get) even come with bells around their necks! There’s no better way to attract attention like a jingling bell ringing from your basket.
