Ikea launch 'flat pack' chocolate bunny for Easter, and people are raving about it

Swedish furniture specialists Ikea have added to their renowned reputation of flatpack furniture, by releasing a 'build your own' Easter bunny made entirely out of milk chocolate.

VÅRKÄNSLA - which means feeling of spring in Swedish - is one of Ikea's newer products to hit their Easter chocolate range, and will set those interested back a very reasonable £3.25.

However, the product itself can only be bought in-store, with no online availability whatsoever - Gloucestershire Live reports.

Thankfully, there are no tools needed to assemble to the bunny, with only your own hands needed to fulfil this structure.

The self-assembly milk chocolate bunny is a fun alternative to the traditional Easter egg. What makes it even better is the knowledge that it's made using only certified cacao from sustainable sources.

If you end up walking out with new wardrobes, a POÄNG armchair and some new cutlery, don't blame us. However, there has been a certain amount of mixed reaction to the festive offering from customers, with people intrigued by the product.

One shopper professed to thinking they had been an April Fool's joke concocted by the furniture giant, but still did not seem disenchanted by them. @textilewhiz tweeted with a photo of the assembled bunny: "I really thought that this was some sort of April Fool's joke from Ikea, but no, the flat pack bunnies are real. Groovy."

Others already admitted they had splashed out on them ahead of Easter. @muchredink said of them: "Of course Ikea chocolate bunnies are flat pack. Of course I bought two."

And one final customer, @goldgiraffes, simply summed up their enthusiasm by tweeting: "I'm just here for the Ikea Easter bunnies" alongside a photo of the flat-pack treats.
