Easter Bunny Cupcakes
Here is a super cute Easter treat to make with the kiddos to celebrate the season. Super simple to make, these are more like blondies, or cookie cupcakes, rather than the traditional cake cupcakes.
You can have the kids make and decorate the bunny ears while the cupcakes are baking.
Top with a deliciously creamy frosting and dust with shredded coconut for a bunny appearance. You can have fun decorating the bunny feet with different colors of decorating sugar as well.
Blondie Ingredients:
Frosting
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in the microwave. Add chocolate and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in vanilla and eggs. Mix in sugar, then add salt and flour.
2. Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick baking spray with flour. Use about 1 tablespoon of batter for each blondie. Bake 10 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes and place onto a baking rack to cool completely.
3. To make the frosting, use a stand or hand mixer to combine butter and cream cheese. Mix in vanilla and whipping cream. Add powdered sugar in 1/2 cup portions, until fully incorporated. Frost blondies and sprinkle with coconut.
4. To make bunny feet, cut mini marshmallows in half and roll cut end in sprinkles. Attach bunny feet to blondie sides with frosting.
Pro Tips:
1. Use mini cupcake liners for easy clean-up instead of non-stick baking spray with flour.
2. Blondies can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
