Make an Easter bunny out of candy – bunny bottom out of marshmallows and pretzels
- 50 ring-shaped pretzels
- 100 heart shaped sprinkles
- 300 pink sugar pearls
- 50 Mini-Marshmallows
- 340 g couverture chips with peanut butter (candy melts or any chocolate)
Melt the chips in a water bath or according to the instructions on the packaging so that you have theedible Easter bunnycan make crafts out of sweets. In the meantime, line a baking tray with baking paper and place oval-shaped blobs of the liquid chocolate/peanut melts on it (e.g. with a very small spoon or a brush), which will become the bunny's feet. It's best to do one foot at a time, because while the chocolate is still liquid you have to attach a heart and three beads underneath. Leave the chocolate in the water bath during this time so that it doesn't solidify so quickly. In total you will need 100 rabbit feet, which you will then put in the fridge for a few minutes.
In the meantime, form small balls for the tails (50 pieces) from the marshmallows between your hands and spread the pretzels on the baking paper. Melt the chips again and fill the inside with themsweet and salty pretzelsto obtain. Immediately afterwards, place two feet and the tail on the still liquid chocolate, whereupon you create the next bunny. Place the finished bunnies in the freezer for a few minutes and serve.

Marshmallow bunny
- large and small marshmallows
- pink chocolate coating
- white couverture
- Heart shaped sprinkles
If you want to quickly make an Easter bunny out of candy, this idea is a good idea. You need a little less than three large marshmallows per bunny, as well as five small ones and three sprinkles. First melt the white curd and put a little of it on a large marshmallow, on which you then place the second one. The couverture takes on the role of glue. Cut a wider slice from the third marshmallow, then cut it in half and attach it to the bunny's body with chocolate to create the ears.

Rabbits in marble look

- 115 g each of blue, pink, white and yellow couverture/candy melts
- 5 metal cookie cutters in the shape of a rabbit
- Aluminum foil
- toothpick
- baking paper
- sprinkles if desired
So that you can make the Easter bunny out of candy, it is best to first prepare the cookie cutters by covering the bottom with aluminum foil so that you get small baking molds, so to speak. Melt the candy melts and add a few dollops of the desired colors to the first cookie cutter. Then use a toothpick to distribute the chocolate evenly in the mold. In doing so, let the colors flow into one another, as is the case with marble.
If you are satisfied with the pattern, you can distribute the selected sweets in it. But don't overdo it, otherwise it willbeautiful marble patternsno longer so clearly visible.
