Step-by-Step Instructions
Add enough Easter sprinkles to a shallow bowl to cover the bottom in a thin layer. In a second small bowl, add pink sanding sugar.
Using kitchen scissors, cut two large marshmallows diagonally to create two sets of oval-shaped bunny ears.
Lightly press the sticky side of each marshmallow ear into the sanding sugar to create the pink inner ear detail.
Turn each cup upside down and gently dip the rim into a tub of frosting or marshmallow fluff, rotating to coat evenly. (If the rims of your cups don’t fit, you can spoon the frosting or fluff into a third shallow bowl, or use a knife to spread the mixture on the rims.)
Immediately dip the frosted rim into the sprinkles, pressing lightly so they stick all the way around.
Using a sharpie marker, draw eyes, a nose, and whiskers on the front of each cup. Then gently press two marshmallow ears into the sprinkle rim to form the bunny’s ears.
Allow the cups to sit for a few minutes so the sprinkles fully set before filling or serving.
Once set, fill the bunny cups with milk, or a fun easter drink.
Recipe Tips and Substitutions
Tips and Tricks
- Gently press the sprinkles. As you dip the coated rims in the sprinkle’s, apply a little pressure to ensure they stick to the frosting or fluff.
- Wait before filling. Make sure you let the rims set before pouring in drinks so the sprinkles stay adhered.
Substitutions
- Frosting/Fluff: Instead of frosting or fluff, you can use melted white chocolate.
- Sprinkles: Use whatever Easter sprinkles you like. You can also use crushed cookies or graham crackers, though they’ll be notably less festive!
- Sanding sugar: Instead of sanding sugar, you can use white granulated sugar with a few drops of food coloring.
