Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Pre-Cooking Prep

1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly and dry them completely with paper towels.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Dry strawberries help the chocolate stick better.

Cooking Method

1. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.

2. Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted white chocolate.

Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the strawberry on the parchment-lined tray.

Next, melt the pink candy melts.

Use a spoon or piping bag to create small pink shapes that will form the inside of the bunny ears.

Doneness or Texture Check

Let the chocolate set slightly.

Attach mini marshmallows or white candy pieces to the top of each strawberry using melted chocolate as edible glue.

These pieces form the bunny ears.

Resting or Final Touches

Use pink candy melts to add the center of the ears.

Decorate with:

• Sprinkles

• Candy eyes

• Small chocolate noses

Place the tray in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate fully sets.
