Ingredients

  • 1 package Marshmallow Bunny Peeps
  • 12 ounces Chocolate Candy Melts or Almond Bark; about half the package.
  • Assorted spring colored sprinkles

Instructions

  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment or waxed paper.
  • Melt chocolate candy melts or almond bark according to directions on the back of the package.
  • Insert a wooden skewer into the bottom of a marshmallow bunny peep. 
  • Dip the marshmallow peep into the melted chocolate being careful to cover the entire marshmallow peep bunny with chocolate. 
  • Lay flat on the baking sheet and remove the wooden skewer or lollipop stick. 
  • Add the colored sprinkles to the top of the marshmallow bunny peeps. 
  • Allow the chocolate to set completely before removing from waxed paper. 

Notes

You might need to re-dip the marshmallow peeps in the melted chocolate again if you notice the bottom where the bamboo skewer was has left a hole.
