Easter Strawberry Bunnies (Printable Version)

Fresh strawberries coated in white chocolate and decorated with marshmallows and dark chocolate drizzle.

# What You 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

# Steps:

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 complete coverage. 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 - Position candy eyes or mini chocolate chips on each strawberry to create 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 - Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate is completely set. Serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No oven required, just melted chocolate and a few minutes of assembly time.
  • Kids can help decorate, turning it into a fun kitchen project rather than just eating treats.
  • They look impossibly impressive on a dessert table but taste like strawberries with a sweet chocolate coat.
  • Makes enough for a small gathering without hours of prep work.
02 -
  • Dry strawberries are non-negotiable, otherwise the chocolate slides right off and everything looks sad.
  • Work fast once the white chocolate is on the strawberries because marshmallows won't stick to set chocolate, so keep your decorations within arm's reach before you start dipping.
03 -
  • If marshmallow ears keep sliding off, let the white chocolate set for exactly 2 to 3 minutes before attaching them, so it's firm but still slightly tacky.
  • Use a toothpick dipped in water to position eyes and details more precisely than your fingers allow.
