See, I told you that we were going to be using the Homemade Carrot Sprinkles again in the near future. Even better is that we are just getting started. They are going to be making another appearance soon so just you wait! And the homemade googly eyes are endless with their possibilities. From these Pretzel Screams, to Pretzel Stick Snowmen (whoa, I think I should include pretzels in the reoccurring roles as well, apparently they make for great holiday treats too), to these Love Bug Bites (and so much more), the fun never stops!
Sometimes it takes Easter Bunny Pretzel Bites to remind you of your life’s purpose. Well, it took ME making these pretzel bites to remind me but for you, it will be something different. Something that when you are in the midst of creating or experiencing, you have one of those moments where the heavens open up and you remember, “Oh yeah! This is why I was brought to this earth; for this specific thing.”
For me, it’s making allergen-friendly food FUN. (said with increasing vibrato and dramatic arm movements):From this day forward I declare Fork & Beans as an allergy-free fun food zone and there shan’t be food made without fitting under the description of fun. When one looks to food here, they shall declare with great gusto, “That looks FUN.” That is my pledge to you, dear readers.
And scene.
Easter Bunny Pretzel Bites
- Prep Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 20 mins
- Yield: 15 Bunnies 1x
Ingredients
- 15 gluten free pretzels
- 1/2 c. nondairy white chocolate, melted
- 30 homemade googly eyes
- 15 homemade carrot sprinkles
- 1–2 drops all-natural red food coloring
Instructions
- Line a piece of parchment paper on a small baking sheet.
- Dip each pretzel into the melted white chocolate. If you are having troubles with your chocolate not being smooth enough, add a tablespoon of shortening. It will melt in and allow for a smooth texture.
- Place the homemade googly eyes on the bottom of the pretzels and a homemade carrot sprinkle towards the side of the ear. Allow to set in a freezer.
- Take the remainder melted white chocolate and place 1 drop of all-natural red food coloring into the bowl and mix until well-combined.
- Remove the baking sheet and pipe the pink white chocolate into the holes for the ears and one for the nose. Allow to set in the freezer again.

This is why I never pursued acting and stuck with a passion for food creation.
aww these are so cute! I’ve been looking for vegan easter eggs here without success…
Success achieved!
I am sure you have plenty of those on-hand that you will want to make a care package for your niece of these little beauties. No??!!?? Too sexy???
For my niece or my sister? And yes, way too sexy, haha!
Your talent knows no bounds. Seriously, the creative way you use food always amazes me. I’m impressed and drooling at the same time! Haha! I want every single one of these bunnies!!
Oh wow, thank you so much for that Brandi–that’s like the nicest thing ever and makes me so happy to hear you all of that! xoxo
These look so cute – where in the world did you find non-dairy white chocolate?
You’ve got a couple of choices, Gerry:
1). Lieber’s nondairy white chocolate chips (I buy mine on Amazon)
2). Milkless White Dream chocolate (I buy on premiumchocolatiers.com)
I prefer the second choice in terms of taste and texture. Really good!
