Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate:
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 pound of white almond bark or melting chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. - Prepare and Coat the Cookies:
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, space out the 12 cookies evenly. Spoon the melted white chocolate over each cookie to cover them completely. Fill in the spaces between and around the cookies with melted chocolate. Gently tap the pan on the table to spread and level the chocolate. Sprinkle Easter grass around the cookies (but not directly on them). Set aside to let the chocolate harden. - Make the Bunny Feet:
Melt the remaining ½ pound of white almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl and then melt the pink candy melts separately. Once smooth, transfer each to a small Ziploc bag and snip off a tiny corner for piping. On a parchment-lined tray, pipe 12 sets of small white ovals to form the bunny feet. Gently tap the tray to level the chocolate. Use the pink candy melts to pipe four small dots on each white oval for bunny toes. Chill in the fridge for 5 minutes. - Create the Bunny Tails:
Use the remaining white melted chocolate to pipe bunny tails directly onto each cookie. Then apply a small dollop of white chocolate onto the back of the bunny feet and “glue” them onto the cookies as two feet per bunny. Repeat with all the cookies. - Final Touches:
Place the baking sheet of assembled bunnies in the fridge for 30 minutes to fully set. Once firm, use a warm knife (dipped in hot water and dried) to carefully trim around each bunny to give a polished appearance. - Serve and Enjoy:
Arrange the bunnies on a tray and serve as a charming Easter treat!
Notes
- You can substitute mini marshmallows for the bunny tails if preferred.
