Dare to Share #458

It's Friday night, and you know what that means.. 

It is time to Dare to Share! 

Happy March! March is one of those months that always seems to have a lot going on. In this one month we have one sometimes two holidays.  We change from winter to spring (YEA!) which means, at least where I live, that the weather is going to be all over the place. We could have snow, or we could have 70 degrees.  At school, March is one of the busiest months of the year.  We have the end of the trimester, state testing, and Spring Break. We definitely look forward to having a week off after the craziness of the first few weeks.   My question to you this week is how busy is March for you? Do you go somewhere for Spring Break or just stay home?  

This week I only had the chance to share one post because of my busy days at school. With Easter just a few weeks away, I shared my Easter Bunny Nutter Butter Cookies. 

If you follow me on Instagram, you saw my amazing find at the thrift store, and my experience ordering from the Dollar Tree online for the first time. If you don't follow me there yet, I share a lot of fun shopping finds, crafts and recipes.   I would love to see you there. 

Well it looks like it is time to get the party started.  Link up and HAVE FUN!

Easter Bunny Nutter Butter Cookies

Easter is only a month away so I am going to re-share an oldie but a goodie.  Back in 2012, I first shared how to make these fun Easter cookies. You can see the original post here.

I had bought the Nutter Butter cookies on sale, and when I saw I had a few other supplies (flat marshmallows, white Wilton candies and heart sprinkles, I decided to surprise my kids with the bunny cookies. 

Hmm, my photos in 2012 were not the greatest.  I remember using a small digital camera. It was night, and without a lot of light in my kitchen, which is why these pictures are on the dark side.  While the photos are not high quality, you can see how I put together the ears.  I had experimented with a couple of different cookie cutters, and settled on this mini oval/egg shape for the ears. Once I cut out the shape, I pinched  together the marshmallow to make the ears a bit thinner. 

I melted the Wilton candy melts in the microwave, and covered each of the cookies in the chocolate. 

I placed the cookies on a cookie sheet covered in wax paper. I then attached the marshmallow ears, and heart nose before the candy melt hardened. Using a small squeeze bottle, I drew on the eyes and mouth. I had used a pink food marker for the inside of the ears. 

The peanut butter in the Nutter Butters, and the white chocolate covering on the bunny was a delicious combination.  I know my kids loved it, and these bunnies disappeared quickly. 

I may have to make some again soon.
