IKEA launches sweetest flatpack ever – DIY chocolate Easter Bunny

IKEA is famous for a lot of things like its super handy blue bags, funny furniture names and meatballs. But most of all, it’s synonymous with self-assembly. And now, IKEA launches its sweetest self-assembly flat pack. Ever.

A DIY chocolate easter bunny!

IKEA announced the VÅRKÄNSLA in time for Easter. Unlike its other flatpacks filled with pine or particleboard, this one opens up to 3 pieces of milk chocolate. Then, true to IKEA form, you’ll need to assemble it before you get to enjoy the end product — a tasty chocolate easter bunny.

But fret not, assembly is easy. No tools needed. And the only skill you need is the ability to delay self-gratification. Which is probably the hardest bit of the assembly.

Even your kids can assemble the milk chocolate bunny on their own. Once put together, the bunny can be used as Easter decoration. Or be eaten straight away! Chances are, the chocolate will be finished before the bunny is done.

The 3 oz. sweet treat contains a minimum of 30% cocoa and is made of UTZ certified cacao. That means it’s not only a tasty nibble, it adheres to sustainable farming standards and good conditions for workers.

So IKEA encourages us to “Go ahead, play with your food! That’s what this certified sustainable chocolate bunny is for. It’s easily assembled, only three parts. And when you’re finished playing, we bet you’ll enjoy eating it, too.” I think so too.

On the IKEA USA website, it sells for $4.29. I’m not sure if it’ll be available in any other IKEA stores around the world.

In some other locations (such as the UK and Australia), instead of the bunny, IKEA is offering a paper Easter Egg that can be opened up and filled with milk chocolate eggs or other sweets.

The VÅRKÄNSLA milk chocolate eggs come with hazelnut filling and cookie crumble.

Not quite as exciting as the DIY Chocolate Easter Bunny, for sure. Fingers crossed the bunny will hop over here.

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful. What I like most is, when viewed from the living room, when closed, it looks almost like a built-in unit.
