Bean & Goose start-up soars with chocolate goose egg

As an alternative to traditional bunnies and eggs, Wexford company Bean & Goose is tempting consumers to try a dark chocolate hare or a chocolate goose egg this Easter.

“You can tell it’s a hare, not a rabbit because its ears are longer,” says company co-founder Karen Keane, explaining that the company, which has exports in mind, has chosen to make an Irish hare rather than a generic bunny.

The goose egg, she adds, goes perfectly with the company name, which was selected because migratory bean geese are found in Wexford during the winter.
