Nestled deep in the Hundred Acre Wood lives a colony of adorable rabbits who have a unique talent – making delicious treats from their milk! Introducing Bunny Milkeys, a smooth, sweet and creamy candy perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth.
The Chance Discovery That Led to Bunny Milkeys
The origin of Bunny Milkeys dates back over a decade, when a young rabbit named Nibbles made a serendipitous discovery.
Nibbles had just given birth to a large litter of bunnies, and found herself producing more milk than her babies could drink. One morning, with her extra milk threatening to go to waste, Nibbles decided to heat it up and add some wild clover honey from the forest along with fresh berry juice to give it a boost of sweet fruit flavor.
As Nibbles enjoyed her sweetened milk, she was amazed to find it taking on a thick, creamy texture almost like melted candy. Inspired, she allowed the mixture to cool completely, only to find it set into chewy little shapes just like store-bought taffy candy!
Nibbles knew immediately she had stumbled onto something special. She named her discovery "Bunny Milkeys" after her new bunny babies. Excited, she gathered the rabbit colony to witness the making of Bunny Milkeys firsthand. They were enthralled with how heating and flavoring their milk could turn it into a tasty candy treat.
Soon Nibbles had perfected a range of flavors using natural ingredients like honey, fruits, maple and vanilla. The rabbit colony would help by gathering ingredients from the Hundred Acre Wood. Their signature Bunny Milkey candies were born!
Why Bunny Milk Makes Such Delicious Candy
What exactly gives Bunny Milkeys their uniquely smooth, creamy texture compared to other candies? It all comes down to the natural properties of rabbit milk.
Rabbit milk contains 13% fat compared to just 3% in cow‘s milk. This extra fat content gives it an ultra-rich, creamy and smooth profile. When gently heated and blended with flavors like honey or maple, that creamy richness gets concentrated into an irresistible candy base.
Rabbit milk is also higher in calcium, protein and vitamin D than cow‘s or goat milk according to studies [1]. This boosted nutritional profile gets infused right into the Bunny Milkeys. Essentially they pack all the indulgence of candy with added vitamins and minerals!

My Experience Tasting These Legendary Rabbit Candy Treats
As a passionate candy connoisseur on a mission to sample every imaginable sweet treat, I was immediately intrigued when I first heard whispers of Bunny Milkeys being created deep in the Hundred Acre Wood. Just the name alone – Bunny Milkeys! – promised a confection that would delight both my tastebuds and inner child. I knew I had to hunt down these elusive rabbit-made candies and try them for myself.
Of course, finding the hidden candy-making rabbit colony was no easy feat. After days spent lost in the Hundred Acre Wood checking each warren and thicket, finally I spotted telltale signs – tiny rabbit tracks and tufts of fur leading towards the scent of sweetness.
I followed my nose until the unmistakable aroma of warming milk and honey led me straight to them – the Bunny Milkey rabbit clan! Shy at first, soon the adorable rabbits were proudly offering me samples of their latest candy creations. My taste buds rejoiced!
Biting into my first Bunny Milkey was a magical experience. The outer layer had a satisfying taffy-like chew, which yielded instantly to the impossibly creamy interior. Every lick was like drinking sweet melted ice cream. Floral honey blended harmoniously with aromatic vanilla notes. This was candy perfection – and so cute too!
I must have sampled at least a dozen Bunny Milkeys, each with their own distinct personality. The handmade quality was clear in slight variations between candies, making every bunny unique. Some had cocoa powder dusted wings lending a touch of chocolate decadence. Others were swirled with forest berry red – these had a delightful fruit tartness to balance the sweetness.
Reluctantly, I had to tear myself away after promising the rabbits I would return. Munching my hoard of Bunny Milkey candies, I skipped happily out of the forest like a child. For any fellow candy lovers out there, I cannot recommend discovering Bunny Milkeys magic strongly enough. Just be sure to leave a few behind for poor Pooh bear!
The Whimsical Delights of Bunny Milkeys Candy
Since Nibbles‘ discover over a decade ago, Bunny Milkeys confections have become beloved across the Hundred Acre Wood and beyond. Even the famously gloomy Eeyore will reluctantly crack a smile when Pooh stops by to share his latest stash of Bunny Milkeys. The sweet charm of these bunny-shaped candies has helped foster community through their shared joy.
Today, the Bunny Milkey company has over 50 full-time rabbit employees harvesting fresh milk daily from their expanded warrens. Rabbits rotate flavor development and candy making duties, while squirrel and chipmunk assistants help gather special ingredients like acorns or honeycomb to add seasonal nuances.
Last year alone, the company produced over 5,000 pounds of deliciously smooth, creamy Bunny Milkeys using 100% natural forest-sourced ingredients. With over 20 flavors now available, everyone in the Hundred Acre Wood has their favorite – though honey-infused Original Bunny Milkeys remains the signature bestseller.
Part of Bunny Milkeys appeal lies in their fantastical origin story, passed on like fables told around the forest. Parents love to tell wide-eyed little critters about Nibble‘s serendipitous candy discovery as they enjoy the treats themselves. Romantics like to imagine the star-crossed love between a honey-obsessed Pooh and his candy-making rabbit neighbors.
Ultimately though, Bunny Milkeys have remained popular for over a decade thanks to the simple delight they bring. Kids giggle over nibbling each bunny ear first, while adults nostalgically reminisce on sunny afternoons enjoying candy straight from the magical forest rabbits. Sweetness undoubtedly makes the world brighter – and with delicious treats like Bunny Milkeys we all benefit.
