Koko Black has released its 2023 Easter collection, reinventing old classics and introducing new treats to celebrate the season.

This year, the Koko Black chocolatiers have produced more than 65,000 Easter Bunnies (40,000 in 2022), 260,000 Easter eggs (200,000 in 2022) and 180,000 award-winning Praline eggs (90,000 in 2022), with production beginning 6 months ago for the team.

The easter collection is a ‘Great Easter Feast’ inspired by autumn, where the days are short and the feasts are long.

As vital as the Easter bunny is to the season, the Koko Black range also includes native Australian animals in the form of ‘chocolate critters’.

The ethical and sustainable brand will welcome 15 vegan friendly products to its contemporary range, as well as additions including Boozy Baileys and Caramel Half Dozen Eggs, and a trio of Nest Eggs filled with magical Hot Cross Bites, Milk Chocolate Sprinkles, and Apricot Bites.

All Easter treats are available in-store at Koko Black or can be ordered online.
