You can find chocolate bilbies in Australia at Easter. They are sold in some large supermarkets as well as some specialty chocolate stores. In Australia, the development of the Easter Bilby has been a protracted campaign by many groups concerned with preserving the critically endangered bilby.
The first chocolate bilbies in Australia were produced in 1993 by South Australian companies Haigh's Chocolates, Melba's Chocolates and Cottage Box Chocolates, and were an initiative of the Anti-Rabbit research Fund of Australia (now Foundation for Rabbit-free Australia). The purpose of this campaign was to highlight the destruction caused since the introduction of rabbits in Australia in the 1860s.
