Is Easter one or your favorite times of the year when it comes to baking and making crafts? It is mine. Mostly because I just love little bunnies. In fact, when my daughter was little we owned a couple. They were lop ears, which means they had long floppy ears that would bounce when they hopped, and they were the cutest things you’ve ever seen! We had a little dog at the time and the bunny and dog used to play together.
I made these fun cookies using my Peanut Butter Shortbread recipe. I cut them out in little Easter eggs then dipped them in Wilton
If you don’t have a Joann’s Fabric Store near you, you don’t know what you are missing! They are by far my favorite craft store. When I bought the candy they were on sale for 25% off, then I used my Joann’s coupon to save an additional 15% off, so I got them for like nothing!
This is what I used to dip them in. I love using my little fondue set. It’s just the right size and I just throw it in the dishwasher when I’m done.
I used my Wilton Candy Melt Dipping Tools
When measuring your peanut butter, put saran wrap in your measuring cup first, for less of a mess!
