(PRWeb) March 20, 2007 -- For many, Easter represents long-held traditions of family gatherings, delicious foods and gift-giving. Celebrated as a religious holiday and a time of reaffirming faith or with a more secular view welcoming the warmth of spring, New Hampshire's L.A. Burdick Chocolate sweetens the springtime celebration with seasonal novelties and chocolates galore.

For some, Easter treats (http://burdickchocolate.com/item-group.asp?C38=Easter&c1=pr&source=easter&kw=easter+treats) are all about the eggs. The Rocher Egg was Burdick's first Easter item twenty years ago - it hides a delightful surprise: break open the rich chocolate shell to find more than a dozen hand-made truffles inside. Burdick's has given the Easter egg (http://burdickchocolate.com/item-details.asp?I380=Polka-Dot-Easter-Egg&C38=Easter&c1=pr&source=easter&kw=easter+egg) another twist with its Polka Dot Egg, a 4" delicate dark chocolate egg, hand-painted with milk chocolate dots. When broken open, it too is filled with approximately 15 assorted truffles. Both are packaged in a festive tri-colored box tied with satin ribbon, and make perfect gifts for chocolate lovers of any age.

Burdick Chocolate's delicate, old-fashioned molded chocolate bunnies (http://burdickchocolate.com/item-details.asp?I391=Easter-Bunny-Box&C38=Easter&c1=pr&source=easter&kw=chocolate+bunnies) have always been a best seller in their retail shops. Now they've found an original and safe way to ship them to you! Nestled in a 4" bed of novelty grass are 2 bunnies with goodies on their baskets, 3 hand-painted Crispy Eggs, one 4" Polka Dot egg filled with 15 truffles & hand-rolled marzipan eggs and carrots. Perfect for an Easter table centerpiece.

"For the customers who have made our chocolate mice and penguins (http://burdickchocolate.com/item-group.asp?C29=Mice-and-Penguins&c1=pr&source=easter&kw=chocolate+mice+penguins) among our most popular items, we have created a line of hand-piped chocolate bunnies," said Paula Burdick, co-owner of L.A. Burdick Chocolate of Walpole, NH. "Then we package them in collectible wood boxes or inside our famous Rocher Nest - a dark chocolate nest covered in chocolate-almond slivers along with 8 truffles and 8 marzipan eggs." And new this season - Burdick's well-loved and novel confections, the chocolate mice and penguins, are together in a festive combination signature box for your Easter parade.

These hand-made chocolates, priced from $15 to $82, may be ordered by visiting the website at www.burdickchocolate.com or calling 800-229-2419.
