My daughter's school program allows them to bring a treat for their friends on the school day closest to their birthday. Since her birthday is so close to Easter this year, I decided to make some kind of treat with an Easter theme. After fruitless searches online for something cute and unique that I thought the kids would really enjoy, I decided to come up with my own thing and created these bunny cupcakes.
You will need:
-1 box white cake mix
-1 jar of white frosting
-chocolate chips
- tiny pretzel twists
You will need:

-pretzel sticks
-pink jelly beans
-mini marshmallows
-gel icing (color of your choice. I used pink with sparkles because it was what was available)
-cotton balls
-cupcake papers
Bake cupcakes following box mix instructions. Let cool. Using Elmer's glue (or school glue of you brand of choice), glue cotton balls to cupcake papers to create bunny tails. Frost cupcakes with white icing. Take mini pretzel twists and press upright into the cupcake on top of cake above the bunny tail to form ears. Add chocolate chips for eyes and a pink jelly bean for nose. Take four pretzel sticks and press to two into the cupcake on each side of the jellybean nose to form whiskers. Draw a mouth with gel icing. Press on or two mini marshmallows onto cupcake below icing mouth to create teeth. (I used two but mouth looked a bit crowded. I think one marshmallow for "teeth" would work better.) Waalah! Amazing bunny cupcakes the kids will love.
