3. Build an Edible Bunny! Get the whole family involved in constructing a giant bunny made entirely of Leonidas chocolates! Use a basket or bowl as the base, and then get creative!

5. Pin the Tail on the Bunny (with a chocolaty twist!) Draw a large picture of a bunny on a piece of cardboard, minus its tail. Instead of using a paper tail, use a string with a piece of Leonidas chocolate attached!

What is Manon Chocolate?
Manon is creamy with an abundance of chocolate flavour. The manon was and is still a signatory recipe from famous chocolatier Leonidas.
The Leonidas manon was birthed and perfected back in the 1980s by the parent company, Leonidas. Initially, this recipe contained much of the melted sugar outer coating, a creamy inside with a nougatine base and a flavorful walnut.
Nonetheless, Leonidas Manon included new ingredients replacing the sugar, nougatine and walnut. For example, the new recipe contained an outer coating of white chocolate. Instead of the nougatine base, praline became an excellent option.
In addition, hazelnut became a staple in the manon recipe rather than using walnuts only. One of the reasons is that hazelnuts are perfect when roasted and can stay fresh for a longer time. What was the outcome of these specific changes? As a result, Manon chocolate became one of the most flavorful chocolate treats of all time, and it has remained so till today.
