    Brownie Bunny Butts

    These adorably cute Easter Brownie Bunny Butts are quick and easy to make using a boxed brownie mix, mini Reese's Cup Eggs, and frosting. They are perfect for Easter dessert or to sell at an Easter craft show or bake sale.

    brownie bunny butt with cute Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Egg paws, and a fluffy white tail served in green-colored coconut.

    So now that you know how to make Reese's Peanut Butter Bunny Feet, we are going to shrink them down and use the small bite-size Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs to make feet for these adorable Brownie Bunny Butts.

    I love making bunny butts. There's just something so endearing about seeing a fuzzy little tail and big floppy feet on a rabbit's backside.

    This Easter edible craft is a perfect project to do with kids. I could see baking the brownies, bringing them to a Sunday school class or a Girl or Boy Scout meeting, and having the kids do the decorating.

    3 Easter brownie bunny butts with chocolate paws and white frosting tails served on round white plates topped with green coconut.

    Once again I used modeling chocolate to decorate my Reese's Bunny Feet, but if you are doing this project with a group of kids and you don't want to make modeling chocolate, you could use store-bought fondant, strawberry Tootsie Rolls or any kind of pink taffy.

    To make my bunnies look like they are burrowing down into a rabbit hole, I set them on some green coconut grass. The grass is really just for decoration so you could use plastic Easter grass if you prefer. If you want to make the grass more part of the dessert, then use green frosting.

    If any of the kids have peanut allergies, you can use brown modeling chocolate to make the feet instead of the peanut butter fudge eggs.

    Ingredients

    • brownie mix
    • egg oil, water (according to package instructions)
    • bright pink modeling chocolate candy clay (click the link to get the 2-ingredient recipe)
    • Reese's Eggs
    • whipped white frosting
    • shredded coconut colored with green food coloring - To make green coconut, pour flaked or shredded sweetened coconut into a zip-top bag and squirt in liquid green food coloring. Shake to coat the coconut.

    Supplies

    whoopie pie pan
    fondant roller
    silicone mat
    small round plunger cutters or metal cutters - If you don't have the ½ inch and ¼ inch plunger cutters, you can pinch off pieces of the candy clay, roll them into balls, then flatten them to create the pad and toes on the Reese's Egg Bunny Feet.

    Instructions

    filling a whoopie pie pan with brownie batter made from a Betty Crocker Supreme Brownie Mix.

    Fill the whoopie pie pan with brownie batter.

    Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees (for non-stick pans.) Spray the whoopie pie pan with non-stick spray. I squirted some just in the middle of each cavity then used my fingers to spread it evenly around the bottom and up the sides of each cavity.

    Make your brownie batter and evenly divide it among the 12 whoopie pie cavities in your pan. Use a spoon to spread the batter into one thin layer.

    brownies baked and cooling in a whoopie pie pan with some on a parchment paper-lined cutting board.

    Bake and cool.

    Bake your brownies for 22-28 minutes until the edges look firm and the center no longer looks wet. You'll want these baked through so that they aren't so soft that they won't hold their round shape.

    Cool completely before popping them out of the pan. I used a flat plastic spatula to help remove the brownies from the pan. This kitchen tool is super thin and was easy to fit in between the brownie and the pan. The brownies popped right out once I was able to loosen them from the pan.

    making Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs into bunny feet using pink modeling chocolate cut into circles using round plunger cutters.

    Make the Reese's Cup bunny feet.

    While your brownies are baking and cooling, you can get your bunny feet made. Unwrap the Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs.

    Roll out some pink modeling chocolate on a non-stick silicone mat using a fondant roller. Use the large round plunger cutter to cut 24 dots and the small round plunger cutter to cut 72 dots.

    Brush a light amount of water on the backside of a large pink dot and set it in the middle of an egg. Gently press down around the edges to make it stick. Do the same with three of the small dots, creating a paw pattern. Repeat.

    decorating the brownies to look like bunny butts with chocolate feet and whipped white frosting tails.

    Decorating your bunny butt brownies.

    Spoon some white frosting into a sandwich-size zip-top bag, and cut off the tip. Use a small dab of frosting to attach your bunny feet along one edge of the brownies. Pipe on a tail.

    Serving the bunny brownies on edible coconut grass.

    If you want, sprinkle some green coconut on or pipe some green frosting in a small round plate or bowl and snuggle a bunny in the middle.

    Easter bunny brownies served on green coconut grass in white Styrofoam bowls nestled in a cardboard box.

    Packaging

    I packaged up most of my Brownie Bunny Butts and donated them to my nephew's baseball team for their bake sale. They were all sold in a flash. Putting them in a plastic-wrapped bowl worked perfectly. I then snuggled the bowls down into some large shirt boxes to transport them.

    This would be a great way to package them up if you are having kids decorate them to bring home.

    Storage

    Store your Brownie Bunny Butts in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

        You can make pink modeling chocolate by either making white modeling chocolate and coloring it pink or by using pink candy melts to make some. You can find the simple two ingredient recipe here - https://hungryhappenings.com/chocolate-making-tips/.

        If you don't want to make it, you can use fondant or even pink taffy. Have fun.
