Product Information

Expertly produced using the traditions of Lindt’s Master Chocolatiers, the Swiss Luxury Selection Box provides a delectable array of pralines. The finest ingredients come together in a collection of 14 pralines containing the smoothness of Lindt’s milk chocolate, as well as their sweet white and rich dark chocolate. This box is a fine gift that any chocolate connoisseur will adore.

With so many luxurious chocolates within their range, Lindt’s chocolate is a hugely popular gift for any sweet lover. Whilst the whole Lindt range is luxurious enough to give as a gift, we’d say that their selection boxes are the best way to go. Offering a range of delicious chocolate treats, they’re a rewarding way to enjoy the smoothness of Lindt’s chocolate. In 2015, Lindt released a special edition Lindt gold bunny wrapped in leopard and zebra print foil. These were followed by other limited-edition prints showcasing flowers. Now that the branded chocolate bunnies were all well and truly polished off, it was time to grab one from a supermarket, and the first up is Sainsbury's

Easter is only a couple of days away now, meaning that it is almost that other time of year where you can indulge in as much chocolate as you want - if you haven't already. Gold Bunny Milk Chocolate , Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Whole Milk Powder, Cocoa Mass, Lactose, Skimmed MilkPowder, Emulsifier ( Soya Lecithin), Barley malt extract, Flavouring vanillin If you’re hosting a party or having guests over for dinner, the Lindt Creation Dessert Box is an exceptional sweet treat. It includes 21 joyous Lindt chocolates that are sure to go down a treat after a meal, with a hot drink or any time, for that matter! Utilising mouth-watering Lindt chocolate, the treats take inspiration from Caramel Eclairs, Crème Brûlée and Tiramisu among others. It goes without saying that these not only make brilliant party additions, but they’re fantastic gifts, too.It’s not the first time the chocolate brand has launched a limited edition or special gold bunny, having released white, dark and hazelnut bunnies each with their own coloured ribbon. Renowned expert and spokesperson for the Lindt Hoppiness Campaign, Dr Zoe Williams, said: "Simple pleasures really do lift our spirits. They are the icing on the cake of our lives – and proportionately contribute far more to our wellbeing than many more expensive treats do." Last, but certainly not least, was this rather interesting looking milk chocolate hollow Easter bunny from supermarket giant Asda. Part of the campaign also involves a nationwide survey that charts the public's favourite way to boost their mood (apart from consuming an ungodly amount of Lindt chocolate, obvs). Among the top answers were a good night's sleep (51% of those asked), a walk on a sunny morning (something of a rarity in the UK these days) and a hug. Aww.

The whole campaign is based around the idea of "Hoppiness", says Lindt. By spreading the generous prizes all over the UK hidden inside the iconic chocolate, Lindt says they're spreading happiness and an extra special reason to treat yourself, or someone else, to a sweet treat. Food also featured heavily in the answers of those surveyed, with eating chocolate, cooking your favourite meal and eating cake coming out on top. The iconic and instantly recognisable chocolate treats take around an hour to make. After coating a mould with their fine chocolate, the bunnies are left to cool at optimum temperature to attain the perfect sheen and crisp snap. By 1994, just over four decades later, the Lindt gold bunny was available on Swiss and Austrian shelves, coming to the UK and the US two years later in 1996. Today, around 150 million Lindt gold bunny figures are produced every year in over 50 countries around the world.However, when compared to the overly-sweet Cadbury milk chocolate bunny, Sainsbury's was a bit off a step up. Just like they have with the rest of their range, the Swiss chocolatiers have worked delicious flavours into their rich, dark chocolate bars. The Excellence Dark Orange Intense Bar is a popular example of yet another masterful indulgence in the Lindt range.

From its perfect creaminess and velvety smooth chocolate to its decent chunky structure, this affordable Easter treat was pretty much identical to the master Chocolatier bunny.
