Why does the Easter Bunny get all the glory? Don’t other Easter creatures deserve their time to shine at Easter time?

Well, yes, they do! That’s why The Chocolate Box offers a range of sweet and delectable chocolate bilby Easter treats, mostly of the chocolate variety, to add some variety to those baskets this year.

Easter Bilby Chocolate

It’s hard to compete with the Easter Bunny, but Easter Bilbies make a solid effort. With long ears and living in burrows, bilbies are native to Australia, and don’t cause the environmental damage rabbits do. Now, we all know the Easter Bunny does no harm, but those other rabbits, well, what can we say?

In the 1990s, the first chocolate Easter Bilby was marketed to raise awareness of the bilby, which is endangered and still occurs in parts of Australia. Eating chocolate bilbies at Easter time has become something of a tradition, and the bilby is always a welcome find on an easter hunt.

Bilbies to buy:

We offer three stunning Chocolate Bilbies — a Dark Chocolate Bilby, a Milk Chocolate Bilby, and a Vegan Bilby Bilby. Each generous 150g bilby is made from premium Belgian chocolate and presented in a gift-ready, vibrantly designed box.

Discover our two beautiful Bilby hampers: the Bilby Easter Family Box and the Bilbylicious Hamper. Both are perfect for gifting, sharing with friends, or adding festive charm to your Easter celebrations.

For a non-chocolate option, check out our Gingerbread Bilby with Sparkle Nose — a thick, homestyle gingerbread bilby biscuit, spiced to perfection and decorated with fondant and festive sparkles. This is a fun and delicious alternative for anyone looking to mix up their Easter treats.

And even better, a percentage of every Chocolate Bilby and hamper sale is donated to Save The Bilby Fund, helping to protect Australia’s iconic native bilbies.

From traditional foil-wrapped chocolates to beautifully crafted premium sweets, an Easter egg has long been a symbol of sharing, celebration, and sweet indulgence.

Many families enjoy building their Easter traditions around chocolate surprises. A basket filled with colourful Easter eggs, alongside a chocolate Easter bilby, makes the perfect centrepiece for an Easter morning celebration.
