Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
  • Put the cookies into your food processor and pulse until you get a crumb-like texture.
  • Cut cream cheese into chunks and add it to the cookie crumbs.
  • Pulse the mixture until ingredients are well blended.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to make cookie balls (about 1-inch diameter). Roll each one in the palms of your hands to form a smooth, round ball.
  • Place balls on cookie sheet. For best results, place the cookie tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes before decorating. (optional).
  • Place candy melts into a large bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Continue to microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Drop balls one or two at a time into the melted white chocolate.
  • Once the ball is entirely coated, remove it from the chocolate. I like to use a fork for this but you can also use a candy dipping scoop. Tap fork against the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate, then place cookie ball on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cut the miniature marshmallows in half diagonally to make the bunny ears.
  • Immediately press the cut side of the mini marshmallow into the sanding sugar. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows.
  • Once the chocolate has set, add the bunny features to the cookie balls. Use the remainder of the melted chocolate and a toothpick to attach the decorations to the body of the bunny.
  • Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour or until firm.

Notes

  • If you’re using candy melts for the chocolate coating and the consistency isn't as thin as you like, try adding a little vegetable shortening or coconut oil to the candy as you're melting it. You can also use Wilton EZ Thin Dipping Aid. It's specially designed to give your chocolate a smoother texture.
