Ingredients
Decorations
- Easter sprinkles – enough to cover the bottom of a shallow bowl in a thin layer
- Pink sanding sugar – enough for a second shallow bowl
- 2 regular or jumbo marshmallows
- 1 tub white frosting or marshmallow fluff (approximately 8 oz)
- Milk or Easter-themed drink of your choice (about 1 to 2 cups for filling)
Instructions
- Prepare the sprinkles and sanding sugar bowls: Add enough Easter sprinkles to a shallow bowl to cover the bottom in a thin layer. In another small bowl, add pink sanding sugar.
- Cut marshmallow ears: Using kitchen scissors, cut two large marshmallows diagonally, creating two sets of oval-shaped bunny ears from each marshmallow.
- Add pink inner ear detail: Lightly press the sticky side of each marshmallow ear into the pink sanding sugar so that the oval-shaped inner ear gets a delicate pink coating.
- Make slits for cup rims: Cut a small slit into each marshmallow ear so you can attach them snugly on the rims of the cups.
- Frost the cup rims: Turn each cup upside down and gently dip the rim into white frosting or marshmallow fluff, rotating the cup to coat the rim evenly. If the cups don’t fit into the frosting tub, spoon the frosting into a separate shallow bowl or spread it on the rims with a knife.
- Dip rims in sprinkles: Immediately dip the frosted rim into the Easter sprinkles, pressing lightly all around so the sprinkles stick well to the frosting.
- Draw bunny faces and attach ears: Use a permanent marker (sharpie) to draw eyes, a nose, and whiskers on the front side of each cup. Then gently press two marshmallow ears into the sprinkle-coated rim on each cup to form the bunny’s ears.
- Set the decoration: Allow the decorated cups to sit at room temperature for a few minutes so the sprinkles can fully set and adhere.
- Fill and serve: Once the rims are set, fill each bunny cup with milk or a festive Easter drink and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute the frosting with marshmallow fluff depending on your preference for sweetness and texture.
- If you don’t have a permanent marker, you can use edible food markers to draw the bunny face for a fully edible decoration.
- For extra fun, try filling the cups with flavored milk or colorful Easter punch.
- Use jumbo marshmallows for larger, more prominent bunny ears.
- These bunny cups can be prepared ahead of time; simply store them at room temperature before filling.
