    Bunny Butt Push-Up Pops

    Published: Mar 24, '12 Β· Modified: Sep 5, '23 Β· By: Beth Klosterboer Β· Commission earned on paid or sponsored links.

    These adorably cute Bunny Butt Push-Up Pops are as fun to make as they are to eat. Serve them for Easter dessert. The whole family will love them.

    bunny butt push-up pops

    I LOVE this Easter push pop treat and am so excited to share it with you. Push-up pops are all the rage right now and they are the perfect container to use for this fun dessert.Β 

    Each push-pop tube is filled with chocolate cake dirt and green coconut grassΒ topped with a yummy white chocolate bunny.

    I hope you have fun making this Easter Recipe. I know your party guests will enjoy eating these cute treats.

    push-up pop containers filled with chocolate cake, green-colored coconut, and white chocolate bunnies.

    Down the Bunny Hole Push-Up Pop Treats (makes 12)

    Ingredients

    1 recipe white modeling chocolate
    pink candy coloring
    powdered sugar to dust work surface
    corn syrup to "glue" the modeling chocolate pieces together
    12 chocolate cupcakes (or 1 - 8" cake)
    1 cup chocolate frosting
    1 cup sweetened coconut and green food coloring - If you or your kids don't like coconut, you can use edible Easter grass. It comes in long strands which could easily be cut into smaller pieces. You might need two packages.

    Supplies

    #12 round pastry tipΒ and # 6 round pastry tips, optional
    rolling pin, optional
    12 push-up pop containers
    pastry bag or zip-top bag
    quart size zip top bag

    Instructions

    making modeling chocolate bunny feet

    Optional: Pinch off about two tablespoons of white modeling chocolate and color it light pink. Note: The pink candy coloring is vibrant, so use just a tiny amount of it to make your pink.

    Lightly dust the work surface with powdered sugar. Roll out the pink modeling chocolate as thin as possible. Press the small end of the #6 round pastry tip into the clay, twist, and then pull up.

    Continue doing this until you fill the pastry tip with small rounds of pink modeling chocolate. Turn it upside down and allow rounds to fall out. You'll need 72 tiny rounds. Do the same making 24 larger rounds using the #12 tip.

    Alternately: you could just pinch off very small amounts of the pink modeling chocolate and roll them into balls then flatten them to make your circles. This will take more time, though.

    Pinch off teaspoon-sized pieces of white modeling chocolate. Roll into balls, then flatten into an oblong shape creating 24 bunny feet.

    Dip a fine-tip paintbrush or toothpick into corn syrup. Brush onto the center of each foot. Press one pink round onto each foot. Brush three small dots of corn syrup around the edge of each foot and press on three tiny pink rounds. You can use water instead for this step. I think the corn syrup will hold the larger pieces in the next step a bit better than the water, though.

    sculpting bunny butts using white modeling chocolate.

    Pinch off 12 pieces of white modeling chocolate (a little less than a tablespoon) and roll them into balls for the bunny bodies. Pinch off 12 pea-size pieces of white and roll them into balls for the tails.

    Pinch off 24 slightly smaller pieces and roll into balls, then flatten on either side to make little legs. Brush the top of each large ball with a dab of corn syrup. Attach a tail.

    To make your tails look fuzzy, use a knife to jab at the ball pulling out little tufts of modeling chocolate all around it. Attach two legs with corn syrup then attach a foot on each leg.

    white modeling chocolate bunny butts.

    Allow your modeling chocolate bunny butts to dry for at least an hour so they are easier to handle.

    crumble chocolate cakes into push-up pop containers.

    If you don't have a stand for your push-up pops, you'll want to secure them somehow before filling them with the cake. I filled a large basket with shredded paper and it worked great, but I'm thinking about buying a stand for future use.

    I'm sure it is much easier if you have one to keep the push pops from toppling over while you fill them. Plus it offers a wonderful way to display your push pop treats.

    Crumble up the cupcakes and stir in 2 tablespoons of chocolate frosting. You want the mixture to be loose and crumbly so it looks like dirt. I mixed my cake and frosting in my Kitchen-Aid Mixer, which worked great.

    Assemble the push-up pop containers then fill them about ΒΎ full with the crumbled cake.

    top the chocolate cake crumbs with chocolate frosting, green colored-coconut, and a white chocolate bunny.

    Put the remaining frosting in a pastry bag or zip-top bag snip off the tip and pipe some frosting into the center of each push-up pop (don't fill to the edge, you want the coconut to show around the edge, not the frosting.)

    Put coconut in a zip-top bag. Add a few drops of green food coloring, close the bag, and shake. Add more coloring if needed, and shake again, being sure all the coconut is colored green.

    Sprinkle the green coconut around the frosting, filling each container to the top. Pipe on a bit more frosting in the center of the coconut. Press one bunny butt onto the frosting.

    cute white chocolate bunnies burrowing down into green coconut grass and chocolate cake dirt.

    Your Down the Bunny Hole Push-Up Pop Treats are ready to serve. You can cover them with plastic wrap and keep them at room temperature for a day, maybe two.

        That is a great idea. I'll have to look around to see what we have to use to make a stand. I always like cheap alternatives!

      I *liked* your blog on FB! On my 1st comment, i was so excited to post it that i didn't even read the post first..I just looked at the photos. So..it's really hard when you've come up with a great idea only to find someone else did too! I'm pretty new to blogging, and I'm absolutely learning as i go. My 2nd post was making a cookie another blogger had already made! I know now..don't do it! But as i see it, you had already come up with the cupcake..and I just love your push pop design. I'm SO glad you decided to post it! πŸ™‚

      Awesome~Awesome~Awesome!! I thought your cupcake version was *off-the-charts* cute! These truly are extraordinary! I've had 2 dozen push-pops for over a year. I wanted to save them for my own special creation. You have inspired me to start thinking again! πŸ™‚
