Easter Bunny Cupcakes

I originally saw a version of these cute cupcakes in an All You magazine several years ago. I thought they were precious. I made them last year, but thought I would share them again. The boys and I just have so much fun making these adorable cupcakes.

Supplies:

1 12oz can vanilla or cream cheese frosting

12 cupcakes

1/4 cup pink decorating sugar

12 marshmallows

24 thin pretzel sticks

12 mini marshmallow

24 M&M minis

12 pink candies (for noses)

6 black licorice laces

Coconut (optional)

Directions:

1. Frost the cupcakes. Roll tops in coconut if desired. I opted to delete this step.

2. Place pink sugar in a small bowl. Using scissors, cut large marshmallows in half crosswise. Press cut side of each marshmallow into pink sugar to make ears. Insert a pretzel stick into marshmallow ear. Insert other end of pretzel stick into cupcake to make ear stand up.

3. Cut small marshmallows in half. Use small dot of icing to stick them on as cheeks. Use the same technique to apply nose and eyes. Cut licorice in 1 1/2 inch pieces and insert as whiskers.

This poor bunny did not stand a chance!

Please feel free to be creative. I use whatever candy I have on hand and any color I have available. Eat and enjoy! The kids at our family Easter gathering always love these!
