Ingredients

2 Powdered doughnuts
2 Mini chocolate chips
2 Pink jellybeans
2 Stackers marshmallows
3 Toothpicks
Bunny-shaped cookie cutter

Instructions

Start by placing one of the toothpicks into the side of one of the doughnuts.
Then, take your second doughnut and slide it over the toothpick, kind of propping it up on its side. Grab another toothpick and stick one of the jellybeans onto the end of it.
Remove the jellybean from the toothpick and slide it onto the toothpick holding the two doughnuts together. Making the hole in the jellybean first makes it much easier to slide onto the next toothpick.
Grab the mini chocolate chips. Careful! Make sure they don't start melting in your hands. This is very serious work. These will be the bunny's eyes.
To make the ears, grab your cookie cutter and the marshmallows. Cut out each ear as shown below.
You may have some little ends you'll want to trim off to make the ears smooth all the way around. Take your final toothpick and break it in half.
Put the toothpick halves through the ears so they look like little popsicles and place them on top of the bunny's head.
You're almost finished! Take the final jellybean and place it vertically into the doughnut hole in the back of the bunny.

Notes

Stabilize the Structure: To ensure your Sweet Bunny Bites hold together well, consider using longer toothpicks or skewers. Insert them deeply into the doughnuts to provide more stability, especially if you're transporting or displaying them.
Prevent Melting: Keep your chocolate chips chilled until the last moment before assembling the bunny bites. If they start melting, it could make assembly trickier. You can also use candy-coated chocolates or small fondant pieces as alternatives.
Customize and Experiment: While the recipe specifies certain ingredients, feel free to customize based on your preferences or what's available. You can use different colored jellybeans for variety or swap out the marshmallows for other small, soft candies. Let your creativity hop around!
