First, you need to make your Rice Krispie Treats!

INGREDIENTS FOR RICE KRISPIES

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 2 (10 oz.) bags of mini marshmallows
• 10 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

DIRECTIONS FOR RICE KRISPIES

Step 1: Spray a 9 x 13 pan with vegetable spray and set aside.

Step 2: In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over low heat.

Step 3: Add the marshmallows and stir until melted.

Step 4: Once the marshmallows are melted, remove from the heat.

Step 5: Using a rubber spatula, transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared pan and press down firmly and evenly.

Step 6: Allow the Rice Krispies to cool in the pan completely.

INGREDIENTS FOR BUNNY POPS

• Prepared Rice Krispies bars (recipe above)
• 1 T solid shortening
• 1 cup Wilton pink chocolate melts (I used dark and light pink ones)
• 1 pouch cookie icing (any color)
• 4 large white Airheads candies
• 16 small Wilton candy eyes
• 8 pink M&M’s
• 16 mini marshmallows
• 1 blue airheads candy
• 1 green airheads candy
• 1 purple airheads candy
• M&M’s – 3 blue, 2 green and 2 purple
• 8 cookie sticks

PREP WORK FOR ASSEMBLY OF BUNNY BARS

Step 1: Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Set aside.

Step 2: Cut the prepared Rice Krispies into eight bars.

Step 3: Take the white airheads candies and cut out 4 bunny ears per piece (16 total).

Step 4: Cut out 6 triangles from the blue airheads candy. This will be for 3 bowties.

Step 5: Cut out 4 triangles from the green airheads candy. This will be for 2 bowties.

Step 6: Cut out 4 triangles from the purple airheads candy. This would be for 2 bowties.

Step 7: In a double boiler, melt the solid shortening.

Step 8: Add the pink chocolate melts and stir occasionally until melted. Remove from heat.

Step 9: With a spoon, coat each Rice Krispies bar with the melted pink chocolate. Place on baking sheet to “set” for at least 20 minutes.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE A RICE KRISPIES BUNNY BAR

Step 1: Lightly pipe cookie icing on the back of 2 ears and place on the front of bar.

Step 2: Dab a small amount of icing on the back of 2 candy eyes and place on the bar right underneath the ears.

Step 3: Dab a small amount of icing on the back of a pink M&M and place it on the bar for the nose.

Step 4: Apply icing to the back of 2 mini marshmallows and place them below the nose, side by side.

Step 5: Dab a small amount of icing on the back of a blue M&M and place it on the bottom of the bar. This will be the middle of the bow tie.

Step 6: Apply icing to the back of 2 blue triangles and place one on each side of the blue M&M for the bow tie.

Step 7: Repeat these steps for each bar. If you want the bow tie to be green, use a green M&M and 2 green triangles. If

Step 8: You want it to be purple, use a purple M&M and 2 purple triangles.

Step 9: Insert a cookie stick into the bottom of the pop halfway through.

ENJOY!
