Chocolate Bunny Suckers- No Mold Required

This isn't the tutorial I wanted to post for you all, but this is a fun easy Easter activity you can do with your kids. I promise to have another sewing tute posted soon!

Where we live you just can't find cute candy molds. The nearest city, with craft stores and the like, is almost 3 hrs away. Needless to say with three little munchkins that make 10 min car trips interesting, we don't go often. Aren't these bunnies cute? I think they are charmingly home made, each one is unique and imperfect, just like us!

You will need:
- 2 Sandwich bags
- Wax paper
- Chocolate chips
- White chocolate or candy melts
- Food coloring
- Popsicle sticks or lollipop sticks
- Fine cake decorating tip

The first thing you need to do is draw some bunny heads on your wax paper. You will use these as your template for your chocolate. I just freehanded mine. Tracing a cookie cutter would have been perfect! I didn't think of that until after I was finished though. Now, this is important, turn your wax paper over. You don't want your chocolate on the same side as your felt pen.

Melt your chocolate. You can do this in the microwave. Just stir about every 30 seconds until melted.

 Cut the corner off of one of your sandwich bags and put your decorating tip inside with the tip coming out of the hole. No need to buy those decorating bags! Now you will probably have a little thingy that screws on the end that will keep anything in the bag from dripping out around your tip. I couldn't find mine. So, if you have lost yours too you can just take a bit of plastic wrap and wrap it tightly around your tip/bag. Or, if you are like me, just leave it like this and hope for the best. Fill your bag with the chocolate.

Using the bunny you have drawn as your template, and the decorating tip as a pen, draw the outline of your bunny with chocolate and fill in. I used the tip of a popsicle stick to even out the chocolate a little bit. Now lay your stick on your bunny. Make sure it is quite far up on the head to support the ears.

Now put a little more chocolate on top of the stick.

Chocolate chip eyes.

Melt some more chocolate and add a bit of food coloring to get a nice pink color for your bunny's ears and nose. Using another sandwich bag, do as you did before but fill it with the pink chocolate (you could also just use colored candy melts), pipe on the inside of your bunny's ears, nose etc. I think shoestring licorice would be super cute for whiskers.

This is the hard part, waiting for the bunnies to harden. This will take about 20 mins.

Peel off of the wax paper and display as you wish (or just eat them). Wouldn't they be sweet in a decorated Easter pot filled with Easter basket grass? Pretend that is what is going on here!

Have a great Sunday everyone. Think of me as you work in your gardens and open your windows. We are sitting at minus 12 right now with minus 23 windchill!
