The first time I made these was two and a half years ago. My mom, sister and I were planning a Peter Rabbit themed baby shower for my other sister, and these were one of the goodies that we made for the event. I thought that these would be perfect to make again (and share!) because springtime is an awful lot like a baby shower. It gets you thinking about new life, small wonders, and cute things.
These Springtime Cheddar Bunny Sticks are SO easy to make. All you need to do is melt chocolate, dye the chocolate, dip in the chocolate, and put sprinkles and crackers on the chocolate. It’s actually a really fun assembly line treat and you can have big or little hands help you and make the process go even quicker!
What I love about these is how the salty pretzels and cheddar bunnies balance out the sweetness of the white chocolate. The proportion of sweet to savory is so spot on that you could eat many, many bunny sticks. Is you are planning a garden or bunny themed event, need an extra appetizer/snack for your easter gathering, or are looking for a fun spring project to do with your little ones, give these a try!
Springtime Cheddar Bunny Sticks
Ingredients
- 1 Cup White Chocolate Chips
- 12 Pretzel Rods
- Green food coloring
- Sprinkles of choice
- 1 Cup Cheddar Bunnies
Instructions
- Line baking sheet or platter with parchment paper
- Using a double boiler, melt white chocolate chips, stirring frequently (About 5 minutes). You may also melt the chocolate in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
- Once chocolate is melted remove from heat and add food coloring until it has reached a bright green color.
- Using a spoon or spatula, cover 1/2 to 2/3 of each pretzel rod with colored chocolate, just enough to cover the pretzel.
- Immediately cover in sprinkles, and place on parchment paper. Gently press 4 cheddar bunnies on each stick. Repeat until pretzels or chocolate runs out. This makes about 12-15 sticks.
- Let sit for 5 minutes until chocolate is hardened. Serve immediately or store in airtight container for up to 3 days.
