Strawberry Bunnies with dark chocolate are perfect for Easter celebrations and birthday parties. They are so easy to make, 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.
Recipe Tip
Chocolate ball sprinkles are available on Amazon.
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, you can omit the candy eyes. You can also swap strawberry for apple, watermelon, pear, mango, and even dragonfruit pieces (just be sure to dry off the fruit with a paper towel so the chocolate will stick).
Strawberry Bunnies Ingredients
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Strawberries: Make sure they are firm, unbruised, and wide enough for the oval-shaped cookie cutter.
- Dark chocolate: Choose a good-quality chocolate bar that melts well. I usually use one that has 55% cocoa solids.
- Candy eyes: Available in large supermarkets, bake shops, and online.
- Chocolate pearls: Or ball sprinkles.
- Heart sprinkles: Any round sprinkle will work here (not pictured).
