A sweet and salty bunny treat that's as fun to make as it is to eat. Perfect for Easter dessert!
Servings: 9 bunnies
Calories: 193 kcal
Ingredients
- 18 Ritz crackers with whole grains
- 3 tablespoons Adams peanut butter
- 12 oz bag white candy melts
- 9 mini marshamallows
Instructions
-
Spread nine crackers with peanut butter and top each with another cracker to make sandwiches. Pop them in the freezer while you prep the other ingredients.
-
Melt the candy according to the package instructions and put half of the melted candy into a squeeze bottle.
-
Place a piece of parchment paper over the bunny template (get the link to print it in the post above).
-
Working one bunny at a time, use the squeeze bottle to trace and fill in the head of the bunny and a little bit of the body.
-
Coat a cracker sandwich in candy melt and place it on the bunny body, then top it with a mini marshmallow tail.
-
Repeat with the other bunnies and let set a few minutes until hard.
Recipe Notes
Approximate cost/serving: I find the candy melts cheapest at Walmart (about $2.50 usually) and get peanut butter in bulk at Costco. The total cost of these bunnies for me was about $3.50 so just 40 cents per treat.
Vegetarian: There's no meat in these, but the candy melts do contain dairy.
