# What You’ll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and diced
02 - 1 cup green grapes, halved
03 - 1 cup blueberries
04 - 1 cup pineapple, diced
05 - 1 banana, sliced (optional)
06 - 1 kiwi, peeled and diced (optional)

→ Decorations

07 - 6 small clear plastic cups
08 - 6 large marshmallows
09 - 12 mini marshmallows
10 - 12 small candy eyes
11 - 12 pink jellybeans or pink chocolate candies
12 - 12 white paper cupcake liners
13 - Black edible marker

# Step-by-Step:

01 - Wash and prepare all fruits as directed. Combine strawberries, grapes, blueberries, and pineapple in a large mixing bowl.
02 - Evenly distribute mixed fruit into 6 small clear plastic cups.
03 - Place two large marshmallows on the front of each cup for cheeks. Position a mini marshmallow or pink candy between the cheeks as the nose. Attach candy eyes above the cheeks using a small dab of honey or icing as adhesive. Use the edible marker to draw whiskers and a mouth on the marshmallows.
04 - Fold each paper cupcake liner in half and cut into ear shapes. Secure two ears to the back inner rim of each cup using tape or glue so they protrude upward.
05 - Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Kids will actually eat their fruit when it has googly eyes and a marshmallow nose staring back at them.
  • Zero cooking required means you can make these while wearing your regular clothes, not your apron covered in mysterious stains.
  • The whole project takes about twenty minutes, leaving time for snacking and admiring your work before anyone gets hungry again.
  • These taste as good as they look, combining fresh fruit with just enough sweet candy surprise to feel like a real treat.
02 -
  • If your marshmallows feel soft or are sliding around, you've waited too long between assembling and serving—chill them for ten minutes first and they'll firm up completely.
  • The edible marker works best when applied directly to the marshmallow surface, but it will fade or run slightly if your bunnies get warm or humid, so these are best made and served on the same day.
  • Paper cupcake liners work better than paper towels for the ears because they have more structure, but if you can't find white ones, you can color plain ones with edible marker or even use pipe cleaners as a creative alternative.
03 -
  • Assemble these no more than two hours before serving so the marshmallows stay firm and the decorations don't slip off from accumulated moisture.
  • Using honey as your adhesive instead of icing keeps the flavor profile lighter and makes every bite taste intentional rather than overly sweet.
