Easter is the perfect time of the year to get creative and make fun treats like these Chocolate Easter Bunny Strawberries.
They are so delicious and a great alternative to plain chocolate Easter eggs. Serve them on a festive platter with your favorite holiday candies, or add them onto a layered cake for a delightful centerpiece.
Recipe Tip
To minimise the risk of burning the white chocolate, melt it low and slow directly in a small pot while stirring constantly, or use a double boiler.
For a pop of color, top the melted white chocolate bunnies with colored sprinkles. You can even pipe an easter egg or chick shape for an irresistible trio that no one can resist.
Chocolate Bunny Strawberries Ingredients
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Strawberries: Firm and ideally pointy-shaped.
- White chocolate: I use a good-quality chocolate bar.
- Dark chocolate: I prefer baking chocolate with 55-70% cocoa solids.
- Candy eyes: Regular-sized. I get mine online, but they are available in large supermarkets and bake shops.
- Sprinkles: Youโll need both white jimmies (the long ones) and round ball sprinkles for the nose.
How to Make Chocolate Bunnies
- Trim the strawberries, melt the white chocolate, and pour it into a piping tool or bag. Pipe the bunny shape on parchment paper leaving a hole for the strawberry.
- Prepare the strawberry face: Stick on the candy eyes with melted chocolate and add the sprinkle details.
- Melt the dark chocolate and add it to a piping tool or bag. Pipe the chocolate outline and the bunny ears. Allow to set.
- Once set, arrange the bunny frame on top of the berries.
Recipe Tip
Use melted chocolate to glue on the bunnyโs eyes, nose, and whiskers.
Possible Variations
- Strawberries: Try kiwi, apples, or figs.
- White chocolate: Milk or dark chocolate is an good alternative.
- Dark chocolate: You can also melt chocolate chips.
- Presentation: Make the bunnies reversed for a different look, so use mainly milk chocolate with a white chocolate frame.
- Sprinkles: Swap for any fun sprinkles you like.
Serving Suggestion
Top the chocolate frame onto cupcakes, cakes, and ice cream!
How to Store Leftovers
Keep them in the refrigerator. You can store the bunny-shaped chocolate frame for up to a 3-4 days in the fridge, but the strawberries should be enjoyed on the same day.
FAQs
Yes. You can make them a few hours ahead. Keep them refrigerated until you are ready to serve, then top them onto the strawberries at the last minute.
Of course. You donโt need sprinkles. They will still look like bunnies. Even the candy eyes are omissible.
Enjoy them as a fun everyday afternoon snack, serve them at themed birthday parties, or top them onto an Easter dessert platter along with my blueberry chocolate eggs and fruit carrots
