No Bake Treats

These Easter Bunny Butt No Bake Treats require only a few simple ingredients, a little patience and absolutely no stove! Your children will get a laugh out of these little coconut tails on the marshmallow bunny butts up in the air as they dig into the Oreo eggs. Almost everything that you need for this recipe will likely already be in your pantry or can be picked up at the grocery store.

The only element you may need to order are the pink pearl sprinkles. If your grocery store doesn’t carry a large variety of sprinkles, the round flat multi-color sprinkles, usually labeled as Quins, will work great too. Just sort through them with your kitchen tweezers until you have enough pink ones.

How to Make Bunny Butts

While the process to make these bunny butts is a little time consuming, it is very simple. It doesn’t require any special skills other than patience! For a full batch of 20 no bake treats, it took me about 90 minutes to make. I spend far more time decorating holiday cutout cookies…

What you need to make Bunny Butt Treats

8.5 oz. pkg. Easter Egg Oreos

1/3 c. white chocolate chips

10 large marshmallows

15 mini marshmallows

1/2 c. shredded coconut, divided

3 drops green dye & 1 drop yellow dye

The first thing you want to do, using a clean scissors, is cut the marshmallows in half. Next up, roughly chop 1/4 cup coconut and add it to a small bowl. Add the white chocolate chips to another bowl and microwave the for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate until it is smooth. If there are still hard bits of chocolate, continue to microwave and stir in 15 second increments. Be sure not to microwave too long or the chocolate will seize up. This means that it will become hard and grainy, which is no longer usable for the recipe.

How to Assemble Bunny Butts

Using a spoon or small spatula, spread a thin layer of white chocolate on the cut side of a large marshmallow. Place the marshmallow, cut size down on the top edge of an Easter Egg Oreo cookie. Using a toothpick, place a small amount of white chocolate on the cut sides of two mini marshmallows. Press the mini marshmallows into the edge of the large marshmallow to create the bunny feet.

Grab one more mini marshmallow and stick the cut side of the marshmallow to the end of your clean finger. Dip the marshmallow top into the chocolate and then into the coconut. Using a toothpick, place a small dot of chocolate on the top of the large marshmallow and carefully place the coconut tail, cut side down, onto the large marshmallow.

Cute Easter Treats

Using your toothpick, spread a thin strip of white chocolate across the bottom of a bunny foot. Use the kitchen tweezers to place the three pink pearl sprinkles on the foot. You will want to do one foot at a time or the chocolate may dry too quickly.

Last but not least, add a little grass to your No Bake Treats. To a pint size resealable bag, add 3 drops of green food dye, 1 drop of yellow food dye and 1/4 cup coconut. Shake the bag vigorously until all of the coconut is dyed green.

Place a dollop of melted white chocolate on each side of the bunny butt and press some of the green coconut grass onto the chocolate. Set the finished treats on a cookie sheet and let them dry before packaging.

Bunny Butt Cake

Easter Bunny Butts can be served on a tray for a fun Easter sweet all on their own, or you can use them to decorate your Easter Dessert. Whether you plug the bunny tails into the top of a cake to spruce things up or top a cute cupcake, they add an adorable element to any Easter treat. For my bunny butt cake, I added crushed Oreos for dirt and little patches of green “coconut grass” in addition to the bunny butts. It’s the little details that really impress your guests!

This Easter it is going to be a difficult decision choosing between this cute decorated Bunny Butt Cake and the classic carrot cake that my family adores. If your family is anything like mine, they will choose one dessert and then come back an hour later to try a piece of the other one. 😉
