- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 12–15 large pretzel twists
- 12–15 small pretzel twists (for the head)
- 1 cup milk or dark chocolate (or candy melts)
- Colorful sprinkles
- Mini candy decorations for eyes and nose (like mini M&Ms or candy pearls)
- Optional: Edible food markers or icing for whiskers
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate or candy melts until smooth. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting. - Assemble the Bunny:
- Body: Dip a large pretzel twist fully into the melted chocolate. Place it on a sheet of wax or parchment paper.
- Head: Dip a small pretzel twist into the chocolate and attach it to the top of the large pretzel to form the head.
- Ears: Use the top loops of the small pretzel twist as ears. If needed, attach small pretzel sticks for extra ear definition.
- Decorate:
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the ears and body. Add mini candy decorations for the eyes and nose. Use edible food markers or icing to draw whiskers if desired. - Set and Serve:
Let the pretzels sit undisturbed until the chocolate hardens completely. Once set, your bunny pretzels are ready to enjoy!
Notes
✔️ If parts don’t stick, use extra melted chocolate as “glue.”
✔️ Get creative—add bow-shaped sprinkles for a cute touch!
✔️ Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
