Surprise someone with these cute, easy bunny huts this Easter. Behind the door of each egg-shaped abode is a little bunny, just waiting to be discovered. Made with rice cereal, marshmallows, candy melts, and butter (flavoring too, if desired) this no-bake treat is simple to make and so much fun to decorate.<\/p>\n
You can make this as easy or as challenging as you wish. If time (and mess tolerance) is at a premium, try simply forming the eggs with your hands, cutting a door, scooping out a hole, and placing a bunny inside. Done! Or<\/em> you can pipe icing around the opening, add doorknobs, and even toss in a graham cracker roof (painted with royal icing).<\/p>\n You may even want to go all out and turn them into panoramic eggs by adding creative touches like flowers, leaves, bees, Easter baskets, or butterflies. Go wherever your imagination takes you. Lots of little sugar shapes are available in the stores, so you don’t have to take the time to make everything by hand.<\/p>\n NOTE: To simplify the Bunny Hut recipe, I’ll give you instructions for the panoramic eggs at the bottom of the post.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n These are easy. I piped around the door with royal icing, used a piece of candy as a doorknob, and added Mr. Bunny with a few jellybeans. And just for the record, I realized later that I have the doorknob on the WRONG SIDE! I have no idea why I did that. You, I’m sure, will get it right.<\/p><\/div>\n A little harder: vertical panoramic eggs. Slice off the front, scoop out the innards, and decorate!<\/p><\/div>\n A lot more challenging: horizontal panoramic egg. Sorry it’s fuzzy – it’s HARD to get a picture inside one of these!<\/p><\/div>\n And trust me, these taste a lot better than the traditional sugar version. Panoramic sugar eggs are gorgeous, but you can’t EAT them. Well, you can, but shouldn’t. If you want to play with them though, here is my post: Sweet Sugar Eggs.<\/a><\/p>\n I tried a lot of variations when I made these, and here are my words of wisdom:<\/p>\n Melt butter and candy melts. Stir in marshmallows (and color\/flavor) well. Remove from heat.<\/p><\/div>\n Add rice cereal and stir really, really well.<\/p><\/div>\n Eggs in molds.<\/p><\/div>\n Or you can skip the molds and just freestyle it! Hope you have strong hands, because you really need to pack them tight.<\/p><\/div>\n Slice off the “door” and scoop out a hollow for your bunny to sit.<\/p><\/div>\n Pipe around the outside of the opening, paint the inside with royal icing, and place the bunny and some jelly beans in the hole.<\/p><\/div>\n You can also add a roof. I used two graham cracker halves, painted with royal icing and sprinkled with colored nonpareils.<\/p><\/div>\n Going for the gusto? Here are the instructions for making panoramic eggs.<\/p>\n Make krispy mixture as described in recipe above.<\/p>\n HORIZONTAL EGGS: press mixture against the inside of the mold, creating a shell. Make sure there are no holes or open spaces. Press very firmly. To avoid ragged, thin edges, let the mixture go a little over the top and trim with scissors once dry. Dry the eggs for at least 2 hours in the molds before removing. If you don’t have molds, use your hands to make the eggs. Once dry, cut about 1\/4 of the egg away from the narrow end, then cut the egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out with a melon baller, leaving approximately a 1\/3-inch thick shell.<\/p>\n The left one with sky will be the top. Now to fill in the bottom.<\/p><\/div>\n A little icing around the edge and the top will be added.<\/p><\/div>\n Paint the insides with colored royal icing. Green on the bottom half for the grass, blue on the top half for the sky, white for clouds. Place all of your decorations on the bottom half, using royal icing to attach each item. Pipe icing around the edge of the bottom half, then gently press the top half on. Once completely dry, pipe a decorative border around the opening and the seam. Top with leaves and flowers.<\/p>\n VERTICAL EGGS: Make solid eggs as described in the recipe above. Slice a thin piece lengthwise from the front of each egg. Create a cavity by scooping with a melon baller. Use royal icing to make clouds, glue decorations inside, and decorate the outside. Colored icing is perfect for piping flowers and leaves.<\/p>\n Have fun! I’d love to see some of your creations on my Facebook page.<\/p>\n Happy Easter,<\/p>\n Lorinda<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Surprise someone with these cute, easy bunny huts this Easter.
