Cocoa Krispies Bunnies

*8 cups Cocoa Krispies Cereal

*1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, few more melted for attaching the eyes or use a dab of Karo syrup to attach the eyes and nose

*16 ounce bag Marshmallows, use the freshest marshmallows you can find

*1/4 cup Butter

*2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

*Silicon Bunny Molds or Egg Molds and etc… (Spray molds with a little cooking spray if desired for easy removal.  Also spray your hands with cooking spray to prevent the gooey cereal mixture from sticking to the molds.)

In a Heavy Duty Stainless Stock Pot or Enamel  Dutch Oven on medium-low melt the butter and chocolate chips.  Then add the marshmallows and vanilla extract.  Stir until marshmallows are melted and gooey and add the cocoa krispies stirring carefully not to crush the Cereal.  Then working quickly add by spooning into  the molds.  Press them in firmly with your hands and allow bunnies to set before removing.  (It’s nice to have another person to help with this process.)

Add candy eyes (attach with a dab Karo Syrup or a dab of melted chocolate chips) or you can see and make our home made candy eyes Here.

Pink Pearl Round Candy pressed into cereal for the nose, use a dab of Karo Syrup if needed to attach the nose and allow to set.
