Easter Bunny Brownie Truffle Dessert

Nothing beats messing around with Easter sweets and sprinkles! I like inventive and interesting treats, particularly during Easter!

Can you believe how adorable these EasterBrownie Bunny Truffles are?They are a brownie truffle that has been covered in white chocolate and rolled in crushed coconut before being garnished with simple ice ornaments.

I like adorable Easter treats, even if they require some work. These aren’t the fastest desserts to make since there are a few processes involved, but believe me when I tell your guests will be blown away! It may also be a fun hobby to do with your children; just be prepared for some mess.

How to Make the Brownie Filling

I used a premade fudgy brownie recipe for these truffles since it was fast and simple. If you want to save time, you may purchase ready-made brownies, but they must be fudgy enough to hold together.

1. Cool thoroughly after preparing the packaged brownie batter in a 913-inch pan.
2. Cut the brownie’s edges (and eat them, of course!)
3. Break the remaining brownies into crumbs with a fork.
4. Then, using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and shape them into flat-bottomed brownie balls.
5. Freeze for at least 2 hours until hardened.

It’s much simpler to dip them when they’re frozen, in my opinion. So you can make the brownies ahead of time and freeze them till ready to dip! It certainly helps to split up the preparation and assembly process.

I preferred brownies over cake balls since they have more structure and don’t need any icing to keep them together. However, you may make them as cake balls as well.

How to Dip the Brownie Truffle

I used a melting pot and a bag of Wilton Bright White Candy Melts. My melting pot is fantastic because it maintains the candy at a consistent temperature. Once the candy melts are all melted, adjust the temperature to warm.

If you don’t have a melting pot, you can melt them in the microwave. The candy melt should be warm but not hot, and it should be thin enough to drop off the spoon. The candy will solidify rapidly since the brownies are chilled. Test the first two to ensure that it will not crack. If the chocolate cracks, it is too hot and needs to cool down a bit further.

I suggest adding Crisco shortening to the candy melts since it keeps them thin and smooth, making dipping simpler. After melting the candy melts, add 1 spoonful at a time and mix until the appropriate consistency is reached.

1. Pick up and manage the frozen brownie balls with a toothpick before dipping and swirling them in the candy melts. Tap the toothpick gently against the side of the bowl to remove any leftover chocolate.
2. To dry, place the brownie on a silicone mat or parchment paper. It is critical to not use a wire rack for these since the bottom of the truffle will adhere to it.
3. Cover the toothpick hole with a dab of white chocolate using a little knife.
4. Cover in coconut: If you wish to create coconut truffles, you must do it immediately after the brownies have been dipped.Simply place the brownie truffle in a dish of crushed coconut and swirl it around lightly. Then lay it out to dry on your mat.

How to Decorate the Easter Bunnies

I used Wilton Icing decorations, handmade bunny ears made with candy melts, and little marshmallow tails for the embellishments on these truffles. It is better to apply the ornamentation after all of the truffles have been dipped and set. However, you may make the bunny ears while the brownie balls are freezing to ensure that everything is ready to go.

The rabbit ear template is available for download right here!

1. Tape the template to a small baking sheet, then cover with parchment or wax paper.
2. Using a microwave, melt 10 pieces of white candy melt and stir until smooth. Allow to get too cool to the touch. Fill a 12-inch piping bag with a coupler and a size #2 open round tip with the mixture.
3. Rep the previous step with 10 pink candy melts. If you just have one piping tip, you may add the pink while the white candy melts are still wet, or after.
4. Trace and fill the rabbit ears with white candy melts, then draw the centre of the ears with pink candy melts using the pattern.
5. If necessary, a toothpick might be your greatest friend in cleaning up the edges or contours of the ears!
6. Once all of them are piped, place the pan in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set.

How to Add the Bunny Ears to the Truffles

1. Using an angled spatula or a sharp knife, make a tiny incision in the top of the truffles.
2. Place a small piece of white sugar melts over the rabbit ears and insert them into the truffle slits. They’re really rather sturdy, but don’t raise them by the ears! That does not sit well with any bunny-harhar.

How to Add the Remaining Decorations

1. Apply a little amount of sugar melts as an adhesive to the rear of the glasses and bow ties before placing them on the truffle.
2. Attach the rabbit tails with a little amount of sugar melts as well.
3. I used leftover heart-shaped sprinkles from Valentine’s Day for the bunnies’ lips, but you could instead use pink candy melts.

How to Store

I refrigerated these truffles after I completed them since it was hot where I live, but they do not need to be chilled. You should eat them within 1-2 days after preparing them.

I really hope you will give them a try! I’m not a big admirer of chocolate manufacturing since I think it’s never particularly attractive. Guess what, the coconut conceals all of your imperfections!

I was inspired to create these bunny truffles after seeing my friend Cathy’s Love Bug Oreo Truffles, which are the cutest thing ever! Make sure to pop over and have a look!
