    Reese's Fudge Easter Bunnies

    Published: Mar 27, '15 · Modified: Aug 7, '23 · By: Beth Klosterboer · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Jump to Recipe

    2-ingredient Reese's Fudge Easter Bunnies are so simple to make in a silicone bunny mold and can be decorated using a few sprinkles and a food coloring marker.

    If you are looking for a super easy Easter recipe to make this year, this is it!

    These little bunnies are quick and easy to make using chocolate and Reese's Peanut Butter Spread (or Nutella). If you want to make them really cute, you can add some confetti sprinkles and use a food coloring marker to add eyes and a sweet or silly smile.

    They'll be a great addition to other homemade Easter chocolates including peanut butter eggs, caramel chocolate eggs, coconut cream eggs, marshmallow eggs,  chocolate bunnies, and painted Easter lollipops.

    silicone bunny mold, Easter Bunny Rice Krispie Treats, fudge bunnies, and Rocky Road Bunny Bites.

    Hani from Haniela's invited me to join her and Kim, The Partiologist, in making a sweet treat using one bunny silicone molds.

    Kim made Easter Bunny Rice Krispies Treats and Hani made Rocky Road Bunny Bites. Be sure to stop by their blogs to check out the tutorials for their treats. Hani even has a video tutorial.

    Ingredients

    • ¾ cup of Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Spread or Nutella, creamy peanut butter, or Biscoff Cookie Butter

      How long do they stay good, and do they need refrigerated?

        Store them at room temperature for up to a month. It's best to keep them in an airtight container.

      Would these turn out the same, if I used Hersey's Milk Chocolate chips, instead of the candy melts?

        No they wont, unless you temper the chocolate chips. My first attempt with this recipe was using pure chocolate (with cocoa butter.) I did not temper the chocolate and the bunnies did not set correctly. They were soft and sticky and after a few days they turned dry and crumbly. I highly recommend using the candy melts unless you want to temper the chocolate chips.

      Just made mine. They turned out great and were so easy. First time I've used the writing pen and after just a few faces, I had a problem with the ink going on. Can you give me any tips on why that might have happened. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes!

      Oh my goodness! When I saw the Reeses Spread in the stores I thought the exact same thing! Make Easter chocolates with it. I haven't made mine yet but I'm glad I came across this post because now I know it will turn out.
      Woo Hoo!

        I have gone through so many jars of the Reese's Spread lately. I love it in this easy fudge, but know it can be used for so many recipes.

      I'm so sorry you're still sick..y'all have had a rough month. Praying you're feeling better soon for good this time.
      These sweet little bunnies are sooo cute..and made with peanut buttery chocolate we know they're super yummy. I bought a jar of this Reese's spread a while back and was thinking about making a caramelly candy with them but I like your idea of a two ingredient fudge better!

        I am happy to report that we are both finally feeling better. There is still lots of coughing and sniffling going on, but we feel human again. I actually got a lot of work done yesterday which felt so good.

        Ooh, if you do make the caramel candy using the spread, I'll be excited to see how you do it. Sounds yummy!

        Thanks, Kim. I'm sure some of my ill feelings have to do with the crazy changes in weather. One day it's snowing, the next it's 64, then it's freezing again. Over the weekend, when I felt good it was sunny and warm, then the cold and snow moved in then we had a day of rain. I'm dreaming of sunshine!!!
