Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 12 Pretzels
  • Mini Marshmallows (12 halves)

Coating and Decoration

  • Chocolate Candy Coating (amount as needed to fill pretzel holes)
  • Pink Icing Tube

Instructions

  1. Prepare Work Surface: Place a piece of wax paper on a baking sheet to create a clean, non-stick working area for decorating your pretzels.
  2. Arrange Pretzels: Lay out your 12 pretzels evenly spaced on top of the wax paper, preparing for decoration.
  3. Prepare Marshmallow Tails: Cut each mini marshmallow in half to create 12 marshmallow halves, which will serve as the bunny tails.
  4. Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate candy coating in the microwave according to package directions, stirring as necessary until smooth and fully melted.
  5. Fill Pretzel Holes: Using a spoon, carefully fill in the holes of each pretzel with the melted chocolate to create the body of the bunny.
  6. Add Tail: Place one half marshmallow with the cut side down on the top portion of each chocolate-filled pretzel to form the bunny’s tail.
  7. Decorate Feet: Once the chocolate has dried and hardened, use a pink icing tube with a small pointed tip to draw paws on the chocolate area representing the bunny’s feet. Allow icing to dry completely.
  8. Serve and Store: Serve the pretzel bunnies immediately or store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure chocolate candy coating is fully melted and smooth for easy filling.
  • You can substitute mini marshmallows with small cotton candy or white gummy candies if preferred.
  • Use different colored icing to customize the bunny paws for holidays or themes.
  • Store in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or sticky decorations.
  • These pretzels make excellent party favors or festive snacks for children’s events.
