This charming Classic Easter Basket from chocolatier L.A. Burdick looks like something Beatrix Potter might take a liking to. There's the requisite hollow chocolate bunny, and L.A. Burdick's famous chocolate mice yield the spotlight for cute white chocolate bunnies with toasted almond ears, filled with hazelnut gianduja with a hint of orange. The eggs are likely the tastiest part of this basket. Hand-painted polka dot Crispy Eggs, the size of regular chicken eggs, hold a delicious surprise. Rather than being hollow, they are filled with a delightfully crispy hazelnut and chocolate filling. The white egg hides a filling of orange pistachio dark chocolate, while the milk chocolate egg holds a rich hazelnut mocha dark chocolate. Three little chocolate praline eggs pack some inviting flavors in a bite-size package, including a surprisingly fun banana honey caramel. Also includes three chocolate cookies with royal icing. True to the LA Burdick tradition, there are no artificial ingredients, additives, or coloring. (Note: plants in image are not included.) Ships March 29–April 21. $42, BurdickChocolate.com
