Bunny Treats for Easter

 

Easter is right around the corner.  Are you ready?  As I was going through some of my older blog posts, I realized that I have shared many bunny treats over the years that are easy to make and perfect for Easter get togethers 

I made this sweet bunny cake for Easter Dinner at a friend's house one year.   It is super easy to make.  All you need are a box of cake mix, two cake pans, and frosting for the bunny cake, and some cardstock for the ears. 

You will have some cake left over if you make the Easter cake, so you can use it to make some Easter Cake Pops.  This was one of my first blog posts on this blog. My photos are horrible, but the treats turned out to be really cute. 

Need some easy Bunny Cookies?  You can make these from Nutter Butters, candy melts, marshmallows, melted chocolate and a heart sprinkle. 

  While my Bunny Treat Boxes are not actual treats, they are used to hold yummy treats like jelly beans.  To make this boxes you just need mini storage boxes from Dollar Tree, some tiny pom poms, google eyes and white pipe cleaners.

Do you make any special Easter treats? I would love to hear about it in the comments.

Easter Peep Houses - Feature of the Day

I am so excited to see that there are so many great Easter themed posts linked up on Dare to Share this week!   One that caught my eye were the Peeps Houses by Joy of  Yesterfood.  One reason why I love Easter is because  I LOVE PEEPS!  In fact, I just picked up 10 boxes of them on my last shopping trip. (they were buy 1 get 1 free)   I think  making these  Peep Houses would be such a fun activity to do with the kids, and then they can enjoy eating  their masterpieces afterwards.   If you don't like to eat Peeps, they would make a cute addition  an Easter themed centerpiece.    Thank  you so much for linking up this great idea to Dare to Share  Joy!!

Bunny Treat Boxes

Recently I found  mini storage boxes at The Dollar Tree and it gave me an idea.  They were the perfect size for treat boxes. 

They come in packages of 10, so each box is only .10 each. 

At Michaels I found white chenille stems on clearance for only .49, which were just right to use for bunny ears.   While there I also picked up a bag of mini white pom poms.  I had google eyes at home, but if needed they are also available at the dollar store and craft store. You need one chenille stem per bunny.  Cut the stem in half and then fold each half to make the bunny ear.

Make a little twist on the end to secure it and bend slightly, so that it will stand up when you hot glue it to the lid. 

Glue the mini pom on one side of the container to make the  tail. Glue google eyes on the opposite side of the box

 Draw on the nose and smile with a marker.  I used Bic Mark It.     My daughter thought it needed feet, so we also glued on 4 poms on the bottom of the container.

If adding candy, make sure to wash the containers before making the bunny.  We used jelly beans in our treat boxes. These are perfect for class parties, Easter get togethers, egg hunts and more .  Not only are they easy to make, but inexpensive as well.
