Easter Strawberry Chocolate Bunnies (Print)

Fresh strawberries dipped in white chocolate, decorated with marshmallows and dark chocolate drizzle for a festive touch.

# Components:

→ 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

# Directions:

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 intervals, stirring until smooth.
03 - Dip each strawberry into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full 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 - 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 - Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate is set. Serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They look like you spent hours decorating when you really just spent thirty minutes and had fun doing it.
  • Kids and adults both get excited seeing these little bunnies, making them perfect for bringing people together at a table.
  • The white chocolate coating is creamy and melts on your tongue while the fresh strawberry inside keeps things from feeling too sweet.
02 -
  • The white chocolate needs to be smooth but not scorching hot or it will seize up and become grainy, so patience with the melting process really pays off.
  • Don't skip the drying step after washing the strawberries, or you'll end up with chocolate that slides right off and pools on your baking sheet instead of coating your bunnies.
03 -
  • Room temperature strawberries dip and coat more easily than cold ones straight from the fridge, so let them sit out for a few minutes before starting.
  • A fork dipped in melted chocolate can create beautiful whiskers and expressions that make each bunny feel like it has its own personality.
