This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
I hope you are enjoying #SpringSweetsWeek, and picking up some fun, festive ideas for Easter, Birthday parties, school celebrations or any happy events coming during this season! Today I made some Bunny Cards for you to enjoy and give! These Bunny Cards are edible white chocolate with a #PeepsBunny imbedded in the chocolate. I call them cards, because I have given them as gifts. They are wrapped in plastic bags and a carrot card is attached so you can write a message to your recipients. They are full of fun sprinkles and I’m sure whoever you treat with one, will love it!
Peeps Bunny Cards
(recipe makes 6)
(printable recipe at end of page)
Molds for chocolate base
2 bags White Chocolate Chips
Decorating Colors~Purple, Pink
Peeps Bunnies (1 for each card)
Festive Sprinkles
Premade Green Frosting
Wilton Tip #233
Plastic Bags
Card
String Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler over very low heat. I only melted 1 bag at a time.
I only used 2 different colors for the eggs. You can use more, but the molds are not very large, and you risk the problem of too many colors swirled together that end up looking like a color that you would not want. I took some of the white melted chocolate and colored it in a separate bowl from the double boiler. You don’t need a lot of the color.
Pour the melted white chocolate into the mold. These egg molds are metal, so it was not necessary to spray the pans. Swirl the colors until you are happy with what you have done. Remember that the bunny will go in the middle of the pan, so swirl near edges, and less in the middle.
Use a serrated knife to slice the bunnies in half lengthwise. Wipe some cooking spray on your knife to make it easier. You can also but the peeps in the freezer for a few minutes, if you find that easier. You will only be using the front of the bunny. (Now that I say that, you could use the back of the bunny, and then just pipe a little tail on him. That would be cute!)
Place a bunny in the middle of each mold.
Decorate each mold with sprinkles or whatever you would like to use. Remove them from the mold when they are dry and you are ready to finish them. The molds I used are actually small egg cake pans that I have had for a while. You could use the bottoms of a large cupcake pan, or any number of different molds that are available, as long as there is room for the bunny!
Using a Wilton Tip # 233 pipe some grass around the bottom of each bunny. Add additional sprinkles while it is still wet. I used a frosting that I have used for years for the grass. You can find the recipe here. You can also buy the tubes of ready made frosting at the grocery and craft stores. Buy the decorating tip I mentioned above, and it can usually be screwed directly onto the tube of ready made frosting.
Place each Bunny Card in a plastic bag. I cut out a carrot from 2 different colors of scrapping paper using a cookie cutter for the shape. Place some Easter grass in the bottom of the bag, put the #PEEPSBunny on top of the grass, and tied the card onto the bag.
Happy Spring! Happy Easter!
