Ingredients

• 2 cups Sugar

• 2 tbsp Gelatin

• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

• 2 cups Coconut

• 0.25 tsp Salt

• 1 tsp Green Food Colouring

• 1 cup Water-boiling

Directions

• Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling cup of water.
• In a mix master or similar – add the sugar to a clean bowl, and pour in the gelatin mixture.
• Beat on the highest setting for approximately 10 – 15 minutes or until the marshmallow is really thick and white.
• Add the vanilla and the pinch of salt to the mixture while it is still beating.
• Meanwhile use a canola spray to grease your bunny moulds and a lamington tray.
• Spoon in the mixture, make sure you try and press the marshmallow into all the nooks and crannies.
• With a smooth knife make the marshmallow flat on top and place the moulds in the fridge for about an hour.
• To do the grass, cut the set marshmallow into squares using a hot knife, and toss with a few drops of green food colouring.
• Line your dish well (leave a space for the Mummy rabbit).
• Gently remove the marshmallow bunnies from the moulds, cover in plain coconut and place gently on the grass.
• Using a cotton bud or end of a match, dip in food colouring and colour the ears, eyes and nose.
• Keep covered until ready to eat.

Best Bunny Moulds for Marshmallow Easter Treats

If you want your marshmallow Easter bunnies to look a bit more polished (without extra effort), a bunny mould can make all the difference.

Here’s how to choose the right one depending on what you’re making:

For Quick & Easy Kids Treats (Best All-Rounder)

• Flexible silicone = easy to remove without breaking
• Great for marshmallow, chocolate or jelly
• Simple shapes (perfect for kids helping)

Best for: beginners, quick no-bake Easter treats, minimal fuss

For Cute, Detailed Easter Desserts

• Creates full 3D bunny shapes
• More detailed and “wow factor”
• Ideal for special occasions or Easter parties

Best for: when you want your Easter treats to stand out

For a Classic, Retro Easter Look

• Traditional bunny shape
