Yummy Bunnies – A Bunny Treat You Can Eat

Many Easter treats and snacks are very sweet. I’m not complaining – I love Easter candy. However, I thought it would be fun to make a healthy Easter treat for Ellie and Hanna to eat with their friends. With the help of my creative team (my crafty mom and mother-in-law) we designed these “Yummy Bunnies.”

Ingredients:

Cuties

Large Strawberries

Raisins

Banana

Mini Marshmallows

Shredded coconut

Toothpicks

Butter and powdered sugar (paste for the raisins and coconut)

These treats were easy to make and would be lots of fun for your toddler (or older child) to make with you!

How To:

Peel the cutie. Place one toothpick lengthwise through the top middle of the cutie. Slice a large strawberry. Make a small cut at the top so that the strawberry piece resembles bunny ears. Slide the strawberry onto the toothpick. Place a second toothpick horizontally through the center of the cutie. Cut a small piece of banana for the nose and attach to the front of the toothpick. Attach a mini marshmallow on the back of the cutie for a fluffy bunny tail. Make a paste from a bit of butter and powdered sugar. Spoon a small amount on the back of two raisins for the eyes. Spoon a small amount of the paste next to the nose and attach the shredded coconut for whiskers. Admire your adorable Yummy Bunny and eat!
