    How did chocolate come to be associated with Easter?

    Question #125646. Asked by BaronBatty. (Apr 06 12 3:38 AM)

    		"With refinement in the manufacture of chocolate in the 18th century, the first chocolate eggs and rabbits were made available in Germany and France in the early 1800s. These allowed the Easter symbols to become delectable chocolate treats and began the tradition of chocolate on Easter. The chocolate treats would soon outpace their real counterparts in popularity."

    That link tells a pretty interesting story of Easter.

    		The question is how eggs and bunnies became big Easter symbols... (The former I can make a guess with on account of its Jewish roots, but the latter I have no idea about).
