Bunny Cookie Pops

^[1]

I decorated some more oreos for you. Moreos. ; ) … I loved the letter cookie pops ^[2] I posted last week so much that I couldn’t resist making cute cookie bunnies, too! They’re as easy as they are adorable.

I used my  Playful Shapes Mold ^[5] to make the bunny ears and bow ties. It came in pretty handy for these little hoppers.

P.S. … take a look at these bunny cookies from Cake Pop Crazy ^[6] on instagram using the mustache and eyeglasses shapes from the same mold … super cute!

You can also use the mold to make flower petals and I’ve seen them used by Stacey’s Cake Pops to make crazy cute turkey feathers ^[7], too.

But for bunnies, fill the center of the ear shapes with melted pink candy wafers ^[9] and let dry. Then fill the rest of the mold cavity with melted white candy wafers ^[10]. Tap the mold on the counter to even out the coating. Then, place the ears in the fridge for a few minutes to set quickly. Remove the shapes from the mold by pressing on the plastic and twisting the mold over a towel on the counter.

Make the molded shapes ahead so you can save time the day you want to decorate.

Keep in mind: You could also make your own ear shapes if you don’t have a mold. Just pipe melted candy coating on wax paper in the shape you need. If you want a pink center, pipe the pink first, let it dry and then pipe over and around it with white to finish the shape. Use a toothpick to help guide the coating if necessary. When you’re ready to use them, the fronts of the ears will be flat with a pink center… the backs of the ears will probably be a little lumpy though.

Separate the cookies and dip the end of a pink pop stick ^[13] in melted candy wafers. Press the stick into the creme center and put the cookies back together. You can also add a little coating around the base of the stick to help keep it from falling off. Let the coating set before dipping.

Take a look at last week’s #YAY cookies ^[2] to see how.

Dip the cookie completely in melted white candy wafers and let the excess fall off.

^[15]

Dip the bottom end of two pre-made ears in coating and position on top of the cookie. You’ll want to do one at a time and hold in place for a bit to keep it from falling off. Take your time. Trust me, I did have a few mess-ups before I got the balancing right. Place in a stand and let dry completely.

To decorate the faces, I just used a few things.

^[17]

White M&M’s or candy gems for cheeks, pastel sunflower seeds for the pink noses, my DIY Sugar Eyes ^[18], and bows I made using the same Playful Shapes Mold ^[5].

^[19]

Use melted white coating to attach the individual candies. When it sets, the candies will be glued to the front of the cookie. Then just draw the eyes with a black edible ink pen.

You can find my Playful Shapes Mold, Pop Sticks, Candy Wafers and DIY Sugar Eyes at A.C. Moore Crafts ^[20] or online directly from Make’n Mold ^[21].

But get creative and decorate them in different ways. Once you have ears in place, the front is pretty much a blank canvas. I can see heart sprinkle noses, confetti sprinkle eyes, mini marshmallow cheeks, and more.

Here’s “hopping” you enjoy these cookie cuties.
