While chocolate bunnies are an Easter staple, [Russell Stover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/russell-stover-chocolates) is shaking things up with its new Easter Sours! collection.

Russell Stover is well known for its classic milk [chocolate Easter bunnies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hershey-company-easter). This year, the brand has debuted Easter Sours!, which is an unexpected take on its signature product. The new Easter Sours! consist of three-ounce bunnies made of white fudge infused with a sour kick. The bunnies come in three different sour varieties, including Blue Raspberry, Watermelon, and Cherry. As the description reads: "Enjoy the creaminess of white fudge combined with eye-popping sweetness. But wait – we’re not done! Next there is an explosion of mouth puckering sour cherry flavor."

For those who can't handle a whole bunny, the Easter Sours! collection also includes one-ounce [Easter eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filled-chocolate-easter-eggs) in the same Blue Raspberry, Watermelon, and Cherry sour flavors.
