How to Make Bunny Butt Oreos
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper on your counter or table. Pour the white nonpareils into a shallow dish to make dipping easier.
Step 2: Melt the White Almond Bark
Place four squares of white almond bark into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring between each round until completely melted and smooth. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 3: Dip the Oreos
Using a spoon or fork, dip one side of each Golden Oreo into the melted white almond bark, ensuring even coverage. Immediately press the dipped side into the white nonpareils and set it on the parchment paper with the decorated side facing up.
Step 4: Add the Bunny Details
Before the chocolate sets completely, gently press the Wilton Bunny Feet onto the lower half of the cookie. Next, place a white pearl candy ball in the center above the feet to create the bunny tail.
Step 5: Let the Cookies Set
Allow the cookies to sit undisturbed for about an hour to ensure that the chocolate and decorations are fully set.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Once the cookies are firm, arrange them on a platter and serve at your Easter gathering. Watch as everyone marvels at these adorable treats before devouring them!
Tips for the Best Bunny Butt Oreos
- Use high-quality almond bark for the smoothest, creamiest finish.
- Work quickly when dipping and decorating to ensure the toppings stick before the chocolate hardens.
- If the chocolate thickens, microwave it for 5-10 seconds to keep it easy to work with.
- Switch up the flavors: Try chocolate-dipped Oreos or pastel-colored sprinkles for variety.
Variations and Substitutions
- Use different cookies: Swap out Golden Oreos for classic Oreos, vanilla wafers, or shortbread cookies.
- Try colored candy melts: Pink, blue, or pastel-colored candy melts can add a pop of Easter fun.
- Add a chocolate drizzle: Once the cookies are set, drizzle with milk or dark chocolate for an extra touch.
- Make them gluten-free: Use gluten-free sandwich cookies instead of Oreos.
How to Store Bunny Butt Oreos
If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you live in a warm climate, keep them in the fridge to prevent melting.
What to Serve with Bunny Butt Oreos
Pair these festive cookies with:
- A glass of cold milk or hot cocoa
- A refreshing lemonade or iced tea
- Other Easter treats like pastel M&M cookies or carrot cake cupcakes
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Bunny Butt Oreos can be made up to 3 days in advance. Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
Can I use white chocolate chips instead of almond bark?
You can, but white chocolate chips can be more temperamental when melting. If using them, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening to help achieve a smooth consistency.
What if I can’t find Wilton Bunny Feet?
If you can’t find the pre-made candy feet, you can use small marshmallow halves or white chocolate pieces shaped into feet.
Can I freeze these cookies?
Freezing isn’t recommended, as the decorations may become brittle and the chocolate might sweat when thawing.
