Poptastic Easter Bunnies

Mum rating:

Method

  1.  Put the butter in a large saucepan and melt over a low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until the mixture is completely melted, then remove from the heat.
  2.  Next add the Rice Krispies and stir until well coated.
  3.  Using a large buttered spoon, divide the mixture into portions while it's still warm and mould each one into a ball. Allow to cool. Use icing to attach two balls together so that they form a bunny body and head, then repeat with the remaining balls.
  4.  Attach paper ears in the same way and decorate with icing and/or sweets (whichever you prefer) to create the eyes, mouth, whiskers and tail. How cute is that?

Icing directions

To make the icing, beat the butter in a large bowl until it's soft. Then add half the icing sugar and continue beating until smooth. At that point, add the remaining icing sugar with one tablespoon of the milk. Beat until creamy then add the food colouring and mix well. Don't forget, you can add extra icing sugar to thicken the mixture, or make it less stiff with a little extra milk if necessary.

Microwave directions

Heat the butter and marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 3 minutes. After 2 minutes, stir the mixture until it's smooth. Then simply follow steps 2-5. Microwave cooking times may vary.
