Costco’s giant chocolate bunny is pretty pricey
In a move that epitomizes the “go big or go home” philosophy, Costco is making waves with its latest offering: a colossal 10-pound chocolate bunny, retailing for $140. This oversized Easter treat has sparked quite the debate among consumers, to say the least.
The discussion gained traction after a photo of the chocolate bunny was posted on the popular Costco subreddit, igniting a flurry of opinions, many of which focused on the hefty price tag.

One commenter dismissed the product, stating, “Way too expensive for poor-quality chocolate,” while another remarked, “Definitely a flashy gift for grandchildren or nieces.” Adding a touch of humor, a user suggested, “If you get two and mate them, it can pay off.”
For those curious about how to tackle a chocolate bunny of such magnitude, the packaging comes with helpful instructions. Rather than taking a direct bite, it suggests wrapping the bunny, named Pete, in a towel and giving it a solid whack with a mallet, hammer, or rolling pin. Alternatively, consumers can opt to slice it with a serrated bread knife, pre-warmed with hot water and then dried, to divide the treat into more manageable pieces.
“Ears or feet first is up to you,” the box cheekily adds.
If you’re not ready to bring tools into your candy-eating experience, there are still plenty of Easter chocolates that feel festive without requiring protective eyewear. Here are a few options that keep things delicious and a little more manageable.
