Carrying it forward
A local favourite stays local.
When longtime owner Lois retired in 2021, she wanted The Chocolate Rabbit to remain in local hands. The Webster family stepped in to continue what she had built—and help it grow.
In 2022, the family expanded to Bancroft in the former Fudge Factory and carried forward its original homemade fudge recipes. Today, the family welcomes customers in Lakefield, Peterborough and Bancroft.
