6 Mini Marshmallows
12 Mini Chocolate Chips

2 Pink Starbursts
1/4 cuo White Melting Chips
12 1 1/2″ pieces Edible Easter Grass

Knead and flatten each Strawberry Starburst out into a rectangle.
Cut each into 4 equal width strips.
Cut each strip in half to make the pink inner ears.
Using scissors cut 2 sets of rabbit ears from each larger Marshmallow.
Cut each mini marshmallow in half to make a set of cheeks.
Melt white chocolate in microwave by heating 30 seconds then stirring and repeating until smooth and melted.
Place red Mike & Ike (Jelly Beans) in hole in middle.
Take a bit of white chocolate and glue, with your melted chocolate, 2 pieces of Easter grass under nose to make whiskers.
“Glue” cheeks under nose and on top of whiskers.
“Glue” mini chocolate chips (pointy side down) as eyes above nose.
Press pink inner ears against sticky part of cut marshmallow.
Dip end of ear in white chocolate and position on top of donut. You can stack 2 saltine crackers and use these as a support to hold the ears in place while the chocolate sets.

Note: If you have trouble getting chocolate to set you can also use a toothpick pushed into ears and into donut to hold in place, BUT warn everyone that they are there. I DO NOT recomment this!
