Strawberry Bunnies with dark chocolate are perfect for Easter celebrations and birthday parties. They are so easy to make, and you can even get the kids involved.

All you need is a few strawberries, your favorite chocolate (milk, dark, or white), an oval-shaped cookie cutter, and chocolate ball sprinkles.

Serve these adorable bunnies as an afternoon treat, add them to a festive dessert platter, or top them onto cakes and desserts.

If you prefer, swap strawberry for apple, watermelon, pear, mango, or even dragonfruit (just be sure to dry off the fruit so the chocolate will stick).

For other delicious animal-themed treats, don't miss my kiwi whales, oreo crabs, strawberry ladybugs, and chocolate turtles.

5. Dry the fruit on a piece of kitchen towel.

6. Pipe an oval shape using chocolate on parchment paper and two ears (keep the center free from chocolate).
