Hop on in to the kitchen with your kiddos and create this adorable sweet treat in no time at all! It’s fun to make and more fun to eat. We think it would make the perfect centerpiece for your Easter feast. So, start your engines and let’s create some bunny racers!
Ingredients
Twinkies®
Large marshmallows
Peeps® Marshmallow Bunnies
Chocolate icing
Wilton White Decorating Icing
Sprinkles (sugar and spring flowers)
Pretzels – small
Piping bag and tip (I used Wilton #3)
Platter, spatula, knife
Method
Step 1 | Unwrap Twinkies® and set on plate. Cut section out of back of Twinkies®, large enough to accommodate a bunny and a pretzel.
Step 2 | Add a small amount of white icing to bottom of bunny to secure him in place. Set bunny in Twinkie®.
Step 3 | Place a pretzel upside down in front of bunny. Cut marshmallow in half. Add a bit of white icing to the cut edge of marshmallow and press to the side of Twinkie® to create the wheels.
Step 4 | Add a small amount of white icing to the sprinkle of choice and press to the outside of the marshmallow.
Step 5 | Pipe number on top of Twinkie® in chocolate icing.
You’re in the home stretch now! To finish, use a spatula to move finished bunny racers to serving platter. Pipe lines down center of platter and add any words you’d like to the plate, in chocolate icing, using piping bag. We even added a few spectators to the sidelines!
