Marshmallow Cottontails on a Stick -- Sweet, Simple & Fun Easter Recipe

Here comes Peter Cottontail

Hopping down the Bunny Trail

Hippity, Hoppity Easter's on its way

Two of my favorite and most nostalgic Easter sweets are chocolate covered marshmallow bunnies and Peeps®.   So, my girls and I decided to combine the two classics, resulting in:

COTTONTAILS ON A STICK

These sweet bunny silhouettes

are so simple to make and taste incredible!

Here's all you need:

Marshmallow Peeps® Bunnies

Lollipop Sticks 

(found in the cake decorating aisle of most craft stores)

Candy melts, bark or tempered Couverture Chocolate

Mini marshmallows

Step 1:  Line a baking sheet or tray with wax paper (no need to use expensive parchment)

Step 2:  Prep your Peeps® by inserting a stick as far as it will go without coming up through the ears.

Step 3:  Prep mini marshmallows by trimming off 1/3 with scissors.  Keep the larger pieces and discard the trimmings.

Step 4:  Melt your chocolate.

Step 5:  Dip bunny into melted chocolate.  Tap off excess chocolate into the chocolate bowl.  Set on wax paper lined tray.  Add a marshmallow cottontail.  Repeat.  

Step 6:  When tray of chocolate dipped bunnies is complete, refrigerate for a few minutes to help chocolate set.
