Back in 1948, Mr. Richard M. Palmer, Sr., designed and patented the technology that is still used today in our West Reading production facilities.  And, one of the first hollow bunnies made in 1948 is still in our line today ... "Baby Binks".

Mr. Palmer's vision was to give the old, tired chocolate bunnies of the day some new and interesting characteristics and names.  The early bunnies named Flopsy, Peter Candytail, and Busy Bigby were not just "sitting" rabbits.  Today, the list of different kinds of hollow chocolate bunnies is endless ... Bunny Big Ears, Peter Rabbit, Diva and Dude Bunny, Pastel Pals to name a few.  And, brand NEW for 2010, are My Little Bunny and Hippity Hop!  They come in all shapes and sizes.

Palmer's hollow rabbits are hopping on the shelves now of every major retailer in the country.  They range in size from a 1.75 oz., 4 inch high Pastel Pals, to the 20 oz., more than a foot tall, Grandbunny Heffelflopper.  

And, to answer the question of how many chocolate bunnies are made?  Each year, the R. M. Palmer Company produces more than 25,000,000 hollow rabbits!  It's as if they multiply all by themselves!

R. M. Palmer Company is a privately owned company founded in 1948 with headquarters in West Reading, PA.  Almost all R. M. Palmer products are manufactured in USA.  Visit us at www.rmpalmer.com
