These little Easter Bunny cookies are the best! They are so cute and fun to do with kids. We did these pretty seriously but you can make all kinds of fun faces on them. It's a fun way for kids to decorate their snack and eat it.

Tips:
Have fun.
Make faces with different edible items.
Add things like a marshmallow tail
make funny faces with smiles, tongues sticking out, buck teeth.
The chocolate dipping process is messy so having an area set up and ready is a great way for everyone to be able to participate.
Remember, A mess can be cleaned up.
Kids are only kids once.
Memories are made in the mess.
