However, it wasn't so much the impressive amount of handmade Belgian chocolate that left her stunned - it was the price.
Upon checking the price tag, the shopper discovered the supermarket were charging £29.99 for the 3kg bunny.
''This feels a lot, right? Easter has gone mad,'' the customer said, describing the price as ''expensive''.
After sharing the sweet treat online, however, the woman's reaction left fellow social media users divided, as some reckoned the price was fair.
Many, for example, thought the bunny would retail for way more, as one woman guessed: ''I was expecting at least £80!''
Someone else agreed, adding: ''Considering one tiny box of chocolates is a tenner in shops this is actually a good deal.''
''Tbf [to be fair], a 180g bar of Cadbury is £2, which is about £34 for 3kg worth… I was actually expecting the bunny to be more,'' another chimed in.
''That's not terrible, it's absolutely massive,'' a fourth agreed with the others.
''That's actually a bargain,'' a foodie said.
''Normal large Easter eggs are like £15 and they are no where near this amount of chocolate.''
Keen to bag one of these treats? The STAS Belgian Chocolate Easter Bunny is ''hand decorated'' and made of the finest ''Belgian milk chocolate''.
The vegetarian-friendly chocolate ''is a stunning centrepiece and a great gift'' - and we're sure kids will love it.
Where did the idea of the Easter bunny come from?
In Christian art, the symbol of the bunny is regularly associated with rebirth and resurrection, The Conversation reported.
The Easter bunny is therefore believed to represent reproductive prowess.
The symbol of a circle of three hares joined by their ears has been found in a number of churches around the UK - particularly in Devon.
Where did the chocolate Easter bunny originate from?
The tradition of eating chocolate during the Easter period is tied to Lent, The Sun reported earlier.

For six weeks before Easter - a time period also known as Lent - Christians abstained from consuming animal products.
The moulding of chocolate into the shape of a bunny is a blending of the symbol of the hare, combined with the tradition of enjoying sweet treats following Lent.
