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.

KALLAX desk ideas: Three ways to set up a workstation

Three great ideas for a KALLAX desk . #1 Compact, minimalist desk for laptop I put together a KALLAX desk for my laptop for just under 25 euros. Just a KALLAX 2×2 is needed.

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
