Celebrate Easter with these adorable Coconut Easter Bunny Treats! They’re festive, delicious, and easy to make. Plus, they’re a great way to get the kids involved in the kitchen. With a combination of coconut, white chocolate-covered almonds, and crunchy walnuts, these treats are both charming and tasty. They’re a perfect addition to your holiday dessert table or a thoughtful homemade gift.
Using good-quality white chocolate with at least 30% cocoa butter will ensure a smooth texture and rich flavor. Avoid chocolates with vegetable fats, as they can result in a waxy finish.
Ingredients
- White chocolate-covered almonds
- Coconut Raffaello chocolates
- Almonds
- Snowflake sprinkles
- Walnut halves
- Green chocolate shards – Or colored coconut shavings to serve.
- White candy melts
How To Make Easter Bunny Treats
- Trim the walnuts and Raffaello chocolates slightly using a sharp knife to create flat surfaces where they will be joined.
- Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. You can also use a double boiler for this step.
- Apply a small amount of melted chocolate to the flat sides of the walnuts and coconut candies. Press them together to form a stable base. Chill for 15 minutes until set.
- Dab a little melted chocolate on top of each Raffaello candy. Attach a white chocolate-covered almond to create the bunny’s face.
- Using the melted chocolate as “glue,” attach sliced almonds on both sides of the face to resemble bunny ears. For a cute finishing touch, use snowflake sprinkles as bangs.
- Allow the candies to chill until the chocolate hardens. Then, using a food-safe marker, draw on facial expressions. Kids will love getting creative with this step!
- Arrange the bunnies on a serving plate, sprinkling green chocolate shards or colored coconut shavings around them to create a festive “grass” effect.
Step-By-Step Process
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Swap walnuts for pecans if you prefer a sweeter, nuttier taste.
- If you don’t have sliced almonds, try using small cornflakes for a crunchy twist.
