Lindt Gold Bunny (Lapin Or) Mini Milk Chocolate

Lindt’s Gold Bunny, known in French-speaking markets as Lapin Or, is one of the most iconic seasonal chocolate products in the world. The brand traces its roots back to 1845 in Zurich, Switzerland, when David Sprüngli-Schwarz and his son Rudolf Sprüngli-Ammann founded their confectionery shop. The Gold Bunny specifically was created in 1952 by a Lindt Master Chocolatier who was inspired by a real bunny in his garden, leading to the creation of the signature milk chocolate figure wrapped in gold foil with a red ribbon and a bell.

While the brand is quintessentially Swiss, its manufacturing is a global operation. Most hollow figures like the Gold Bunny are produced in industrial quantities at Lindt’s state-of-the-art facilities in Germany (Aachen) and France (Oloron-Sainte-Marie), as well as their home base in Kilchberg, Switzerland. The brand remains under the ownership of Lindt & Sprüngli, which has evolved into a global leader in the premium chocolate sector while maintaining its independence from larger food conglomerates.
