Easter Strawberry Bunnies (Printable)

Strawberries dipped in white chocolate, adorned with marshmallow ears and chocolate drizzle for a festive touch.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Strawberries

01 - 12 large fresh strawberries, stems removed

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 7 oz white chocolate, chopped
03 - 2.1 oz dark chocolate, chopped for drizzle and decoration

→ Decorations

04 - 24 mini marshmallows for ears
05 - Edible pink food gel or pink candy melts for inner ears and noses
06 - 24 candy eyes or mini chocolate chips for eyes

# How-To:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries.
02 - Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water using a double boiler method, or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
03 - Dip each strawberry into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - While the coating is still soft, cut each mini marshmallow in half and shape each half to form bunny ears. Attach two marshmallow halves to the top of each dipped strawberry.
05 - Use a toothpick to add a dot of pink food gel or melted pink candy to the center of each ear and a small dot for the nose.
06 - Place candy eyes or mini chocolate chips on each strawberry to form eyes.
07 - Melt the dark chocolate and transfer to a small piping bag or use a fork. Drizzle over the bunnies or pipe on whiskers and mouths as desired.
08 - Chill in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate is set. Serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They look impressive enough to make people gasp, yet honestly require less skill than decorating a basic cupcake.
  • Fresh strawberries mean you're actually eating fruit, which feels like a small victory when serving dessert to kids.
  • The whole project takes under an hour, leaving plenty of time to clean up chocolate fingerprints before anyone notices.
02 -
  • White chocolate seizes up faster than dark chocolate, so avoid any water contact and don't let the double boiler get hotter than a gentle steam, a lesson learned after three batches of grainy disappointment.
  • Marshmallows soften quickly in heat, so add them while the white chocolate coating is just barely warm enough to be tacky but not actively melting them into sad puddles.
03 -
  • Keep your decorations and tools organized on a separate small tray before you start so you're not fumbling around looking for candy eyes while chocolate sets.
  • If white chocolate coating cracks or looks dull, a very thin second coat applied after the first sets completely transforms it into something glossy and professional looking.
