My parents’ friends Bert and Klara Upton started a chocolate factory in Lane Cove,Sydney in about 1950.After moving at least twice it set up in Mascot in Sydney.Can anyone confirm more details-they called it Exquisite Chocolates and sold Red Tulip brand.

Hi all,

Just opened a red tulip bunny. It was crap. Tasted like cheap chocolate. Not sure what the go is however I read on web Red Tulip chocolate contained 30% cocoa solids a few years ago. Checked the bunny, it only had 25%. which is similar to heritage.

Would be interested to know what else if anything has changed in the recipe?

Hello Everyone, i bought a Red Tulip bunny the other day just for old time’s sake and it appears they have gone back to their original recipe (pre-Cadbury ownership). The taste was just the way i remebered it in my childhood days. Thank you Cadbury for resurecting Red Tulip bunny chocolate recipes (int the spirit of the meaning of Easter).

Hi Kara, I am pretty sure Red Tulip only comes out at easter time. Cadbury actually makes them now… unless you go to a Cadbury factory I don’t like your chances of getting them out of easter :(

Helen and Glenda, Red Tulip After Dinner Mints were discontinued in 2008. I’m not sure who made the decision or why. I will miss them too.

i must admit i haven’t eaten a Red Tulip Rabbit for a few years i am not surprised that if cadbury’s owns red tulip then they have wrecked the taste as they have ruined their normal chocolate lines and the dairy milk tastes more like Freddo frog chocolate (great in a little Freddo’s but horrible in a block size) not to mention they keep shrinking the family blocks (thats another story though) but i still find it hard to believe that Heritage chocolate rates better as in my opinion they are the among the WORST tasting chocolate eggs out there and have a really horrible “compound choc” texture to them which in conjunction with a bland flavour makes for a really BAD egg as a matter of fact as a self proclaimed Easter Egg connoisseur i would rather not have an egg at all than a heritage (least the ones ive had so far)..
i will say this i have always found the Red Tulip Rabbits very sweet and as a kid i have made myself quite sick on them.
Caburys used to make a nice egg as well (boycotted them since the flavour change and size drop on the blocks)
