Thorntons Happy Bunny Milk Chocolate

Thorntons is a British chocolate brand with a rich heritage dating back to 1911 when it was founded by Joseph William Thornton in Sheffield, England. For over a century, the brand became a staple of the British high street, known for its boxed chocolates, toffee, and seasonal hollow figures like the Happy Bunny shown in the image.

Historically, the majority of Thorntons products have been manufactured at their primary factory in Alfreton, Derbyshire, United Kingdom. While the brand shuttered its physical retail stores in 2021 to focus on online and supermarket sales, it continues to produce its famous confectionery lines for the mass market.

In 2015, the Italian confectionery giant Ferrero acquired Thorntons, integrating the iconic British label into its global portfolio. As a subsidiary of Ferrero, Thorntons benefits from the international supply chain and distribution network of one of the world's largest chocolate producers, while maintaining its British identity and traditional recipes.
