Ingredients
Ingredients
Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
16 (Leave whole)
White chocolate candy melts or chips
12 ounces (Melt according to package instructions)
Marshmallows
8 (Cut each marshmallow in half to form ears)
Granulated sugar or pink sugar
1 tablespoon (Mix with pink food coloring if using granulated)
Pink food coloring
To taste (Omit if using colored sugar)
Black decorating gel
1 tube (For eyes and mouth)
Pink decorating icing
1 tube (For nose)
Wax paper
1 sheet (For working surface)
Instructions
1
Begin by laying a sheet of wax paper flat on your countertop to catch any drips while you work.
2
In a small bowl, mix pink food coloring with granulated sugar until you achieve your desired shade (or use pre-colored pink sugar for convenience). Set aside.
3
Cut each marshmallow in half, then slice each half to create four bunny ears in total. Lightly press the sticky side of each marshmallow ear into the pink sugar mixture, shaking off any excess sugar. Set the decorated ears aside on a clean surface.
4
Melt the white chocolate candy melts according to the package instructions, typically using the microwave in short, 30-second bursts until fully melted and smooth.
5
Carefully dip each Nutter Butter cookie into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place the cookie on the wax paper.
6
Before the chocolate sets, position two marshmallow ears at the top of each bunny head, gently pressing them into the chocolate coating for a secure hold.
7
Let the chocolate coating harden for 20-30 minutes. If any ears become unattached, reapply using a small amount of melted chocolate or frosting.
8
Once the chocolate has set, use the black decorating gel to pipe two eyes on each bunny. Follow this by creating a small round nose with the pink decorating icing. Allow about 10-15 minutes for the nose to harden, to prevent smearing during the next step.
9
For the mouth and whiskers, either pipe directly onto the cookie or apply a small amount of black decorating gel onto the wax paper. Use a fine-tipped paintbrush to draw on the mouth and whiskers, achieving a personalized touch.
