Benedict Cumberbatch is coming for your Easter baskets! Well, sort of. Chocolatician, a chocolate company based in England, recently announced that for the fourth year in a row its Chocolate Cumberbunnies are ready to celebrate the upcoming holiday, which falls on Sunday, April 21.
As you may have guessed given its clever moniker, a Cumberbunny is a chocolate figure that combines the woodland creature and British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, 42. More specifically, the sweet treat features the body of a rabbit and the head of the Avengers: Infinity War star.
Per the description on Chocolatician’s website, the Cumberbunny, which costs approximately $52, is billed as a “delicious Belgian chocolate rabbit with a handsome face and a tasty bottom.” When the British company launched in 2015, it did so with a life-sized chocolate Cumberbatch figure, so the Cumberbunnies are in keeping with an odd (yet tasty) tradition.
The unusual candy, which weighs in at just under a pound, comes in white, milk and dark chocolate, and each variety is decorated a bit differently. For example, the limited-edition white chocolate Cumberbunny sports an edible 22-carat gold bow tie, while the milk chocolate version is glazed with a layer of edible gold luster dust that gives the bunny an unmistakable sheen. Similarly, the dark chocolate confection features an edible bronze luster dust coating that makes the rabbit appear red.
Furthermore, each individual Cumberbunny is hand-made and is sold in a white warren box complete with a beautiful orange ribbon. Since the treats are made by hand and crafted to order, no two bunnies are exactly the same.
If you’re looking to snack on one of these interesting desserts this Easter, however, we suggest you place an order ASAP. Chocolatician is located in West Sussex, and the Cumberbunnies take an estimated 14 to 18 days to arrive at their final destination.
If bunnies modeled after award-winning actors aren’t your speed, Chocolatician has an array of other interesting edibles to choose from, such as chocolate corgis and something called The Gosling – a chocolate duck (a.k.a a gosling) with the head of The Notebook star Ryan Gosling.
