Easter is a time for festive flavors and cute presentations. Thinking about spring celebrations inspired this simple recipe that combines classic peanut butter and white chocolate in a playful bunny shape. Kids and adults both love them—sweet, creamy, and perfectly themed for the season.
These homemade Reese’s-style eggs were adapted into cheerful Easter bunnies. The concept originated from a fan-favorite homemade Reese’s egg recipe that many readers compared to the original candy. Transforming that filling into white chocolate bunnies makes for a whimsical seasonal twist.
The process is straightforward: form the peanut butter filling into egg shapes, chill until firm, dip in melted white chocolate, then add marshmallow tails, pink ears and noses, and tiny black eyes. You can also use pink candy melts or lightly tint leftover white coating for the ears and paw pads.

These White Chocolate Easter Bunnies feature a rich peanut butter filling encased in smooth white chocolate and decorated to resemble charming bunnies. They’re easy to make, family-friendly, and perfect for Easter gatherings or gift baskets.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 10–12 oz white chocolate, candy melts, or almond bark
For decoration:
- Pink candy melts (or tint a portion of white coating with pink/red food coloring for ears, nose, and paws)
- Mini marshmallows for tails
- Black decorating gel for eyes (or melted dark chocolate with a toothpick)
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir together melted butter, peanut butter, salt, vanilla, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Gradually add sifted powdered sugar and mix until the mixture is evenly combined. It will be crumbly but should hold together and feel smooth when squeezed. Add more powdered sugar if too sticky, or a tablespoon of milk if too dry.
- Line a tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Portion the mixture into roughly 1 heaping tablespoon pieces. Squeeze and roll into egg shapes, then place on the prepared tray. Chill in the fridge for about 2 hours until firm, or freeze for 20–30 minutes for a quicker set.
- Melt the white chocolate, candy melts, or almond bark according to package directions.
- Using a fork, dip each peanut butter egg into the melted white chocolate to coat completely. Gently tap the fork to remove excess coating and return the coated eggs to the parchment-lined tray.
- Press mini marshmallows slightly to form small tails and attach them to the wider end of each egg while the coating is still tacky.
- Melt pink candy melts and place in a small piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped. Pipe ears and a small nose onto each bunny. Use black decorating gel or a dot of melted dark chocolate for the eyes.
- To create bunny paws, pipe one larger circle at the narrow end of the egg and three small circles at the wider end with the pink melts. Allow all decorations to set completely.
Notes
This recipe yields about 15 bunnies. They store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator and can be frozen for longer storage. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
