what you need

JET-PUFFED Marshmallows

Colored sugar

Tbsp. ready-to-spread white frosting

Assorted candies

JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows

Make It

CUT 1 of the large marshmallows into quarters for the bunnies' ears. Press one of the cut sides of each marshmallow piece into colored sugar. Use some of the frosting to attach two of the ears to each of 2 of the remaining large marshmallows to make two bunny heads. Add candies as desired to make the faces, attaching candies to marshmallows with frosting.

CUT each of 2 of the remaining large marshmallows in half for the two bunnies' feet. Use frosting to secure a foot to each side of the remaining 2 large marshmallows for the bunnies' bodies.

ATTACH 2 of the miniature marshmallows to the front of each bunny for the paws and 1 miniature marshmallow to each bunny for the cottontail, using some of the frosting to attach each piece. Use remaining frosting to attach the heads to the bodies. Let stand at room temperature until frosting is dry.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Note

After making the bunnies' heads, place them in the refrigerator while you prepare the bunnies' bodies. This will help the frosting to set, allowing the ears to become more securely attached to the heads.

My girls love them, i used toothpicks to hold the heads in place till the frosting was dry and instead of cutting the marshmellow in quarters for the ears i cut them in 8s and i didnt have any problem keeping them in place,

I liked this recipe a lot but made a few alterations. I found the bunny ears impossible so I made them out of cut carrot sticks instead. I also used a pretzel stick to hold the 2 big marshmallows together. Much easier and a little healthier.

I made this last year for my son's class!! They were sooooo cute, and yummy! I am going to make again this easter, but I am disappointed to see there is no picture like last year!

I would not make "marshmallow bunnies" again because they were difficult to make, measy, and they wouldn't stay together.

Nothing would stick except my fingers! The ears kept falling off no matter how much frosting I put on as "glue". They look cute in the pic, but not worth the trouble.

Nothing would stick together and everything kept faling apart. The taste was not very good when we ate them either

Made these for friends at church for Easter sunday. They were wanting more. I made them diff-with marshmellows sitting on top of each other-and used scissors to cut mellows, but not all the way through and it made cute ears. i also made a huge fat one with mini marshmellows around it. My husband loved that one-it was so cute!
