Ingredients:
- Mini Pretzel Twists – These will form the bunny shape.
- Bright White Candy Melts – Available at most craft or baking stores.
- Decorating Bag or Ziplock Bag – For precise candy melt placement.
- Black and Pink Food Writers – For drawing the bunny’s eyes and nose. (Craft stores like Michaels usually carry them.)
Instructions:
- Prep the Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes it easy to remove the pretzels once the candy melts harden.
- Melt the Candy:
- Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 60 seconds, then stir. If the candy isn’t fully melted, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Pour the melted candy into a decorating bag or Ziplock bag. If using a Ziplock, cut a very small tip off one corner of the bag for controlled piping.
- Fill the Pretzels:
- Place mini pretzel twists flat on the lined baking sheet.
- Carefully pipe the melted candy into the two top “ear” holes of each pretzel, filling them completely to create a solid white surface. This will give the pretzels a bunny-like appearance.
- Let the filled pretzels set on the baking sheet for about 60 minutes or until the candy has fully hardened.
- Add Bunny Faces:
- Once the candy melts are set, carefully flip each pretzel over so the smooth, filled side faces up.
- Use the black food writer to add two small dots for eyes on the filled “ears” area of each pretzel.
- Use the pink food writer to dot a small nose just below the eyes.
- Let the Details Set:
- Allow the food writer markings to dry for a few minutes before handling.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once fully set, your Bunny Pretzels are ready to serve! These are perfect for kids’ parties, Easter gatherings, or a fun springtime snack.
Tips:
- Alternate Colors: You can also use pastel-colored candy melts to make multicolored bunny pretzels.
- Storage: Store Bunny Pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid humidity, as it may cause the candy coating to soften.
These Bunny Pretzels are a super cute and easy treat that’s sure to bring smiles!
