It is Bunny Redemption time. Yup. One of you called me out on my bunny pics in this recipe and I am back to redeem my league of chocolate peanut butter "healthy makeover" Easter bunnies. Because this recipe is just too yummy to not be super cute for Easter..
Easter deserves cute bunnies, yes?
Cute + yummy. Peanut butter filled..
Sometimes people ask me if I read the comments posted on my blog. YES. I do.
(I love love love them. Thank you for taking the time.)
And sometimes they really do influence me.
Called Out. Yesterday a commenter (in a friendly, nice, joking (sort've) way) told me my Chocolate PB Bunnies looked like DONNIE DARKO bunnies. (Yes, they said it in all caps like that.)
I then googled "donnie darko" bunnies.
I was frightened.
But.
Hm.
They DO look like Donnie Darko bunnies!
whoops. My bunnies were not terribly cute, were they?
BUT this recipe was just so yummy I had to do it again and redeem my bunnies.
You can get the recipe (and frightening bunny photos) HERE using 5 simple ingredients:
maple or agave syrup
coconut oil
dark chocolate
peanut butter
coconut flour
(Basically you use a chocolate + coconut oil chocolate coating, melted. Then combine the flour, pb, sweetener and a touch oil coconut oil for the filling. Really easy, healthy and yummy. And now HOPEFULLY cute-r)
OK, here are my latest bunnies using vegan jelly beans and goji berries too. Cute yet???
Well, cute enough to gobble down that is for sure.
HAPPY EASTER (bunnies) (..because no one like scary bunnies on Easter..)
Bunnies!!......
The peanut butter filling really is yummy. And you can add different amounts of the filling ingredients to customize the flavor. More oil = richer texture. More pb = thicker and nuttier. More flour = drier and more cake like. More maple/agave = more liquid-y and sweeter.
Oh an check out the little hummingbird and her nest in the tree outside my window! Happy spring finds...
More bunny love.
Glad I got that off my chest.
Bunny redemption at last.
Maybe not Martha Stewart perfect, but I am now proud of my bunnies. Phew! 🙂

I just made of batch of eggs - not crafty enough to make bunnies - and they are delicious! My children are going to be so excited to eat them on Easter! Thank you for a great recipe!

This is the best post ever. And really, a recipe that doubles for Easter AND Halloween? Win-win, I say! ; )
Alynn Lassiter says
The new bunnies are cuter, yes. But, I have to say that if I attempted this recipe, mine would look more like your first post. Either way they look scrumptious.

Ahahahaha yay! You DID inspire me and your critique was accurate on my first round if bunnies 🙂 I loved re-making them though!! Thanks for reading and commenting!! Yay cute bunnies! Yay honesty! Happy Easter 🙂
Jennifer Setser says
Oh, Kathy! I just died of embarrassment/laughter when I saw your post! Yes...I am the Donnie Darko Bunny Critic. I have followed your blog for over a year now and I have made so many delicious recipes based on your beautiful and colorful food photos. Thank you so much for all that you do for your readers (including not being insulted by criticism). Now I feel guilty that I haven't given more positive feedback! Your bunnies have been redeemed and now I can't help but go and whip up a batch. Maybe I'll send YOU a photo and you can critique my efforts 😉

ROFL - I had never heard of Donnie Darko bunnies either, so I had to look them up too - but the best answer to scary bunnies? Eat them 😉 This recipe is definitely saved for future use!
eightyone says
Thank you for BOTH posts. The combination of before and after with the interactive reader is fabulous, honest, and funny! Happy spring to you! Thank you too for including the sweet hummingbird nest photo as well. Smile.

Brit Bolerjack says
Do you have any tips/tricks for making the cute(r) bunnies? 🙂
RockMyVeganSocks says
These are adorable! And I love how they only have a few ingredients and sound simple to make.
They are so cute though - almost too cute to eat. *almost* ;p
