Ingredients for this recipe
This recipe only requires puff pastry, hazelnut chocolate spread (Nutella), chocolate candies (M&M's) and powdered sugar.
- Puff pastry: I use store bought pastry sheets. The colder the puff pastry is, the better and easier it is to work with.
- Chocolate spread: I love Nutella. You could use dulce de leche, cookie butter or any other chocolate based spread.
- Chocolate candy: The Easter themed M&M's add a cute and colorful touch to this puff pastry bunnies. These are used to create the bunny faces. You can also add Cadbury eggs to decorate when serving.
- Powdered sugar: For dusting the puff pastry bunnies before serving.
Recipe step by step instructions
Step 1
Unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut it in half.
Spread the Nutella on one of the half sheets and place the other one on top.
Step 2
Cut the puff pastry into 1 inch thick strips. Reserve 3 of the strips to make the bunny ears (cut these in half inch size).
Roll the puff pastry strips to create a roll (similar to a cinnamon roll).

Create a the ears with the thinner (½ inch) strips. To create the ears bring both ends of the strips to the center (it will look like a heart) and pinch them in the center to secure the shape.
Refrigerate the bunnies for about 5-10 minutes while preheating the oven.

I recently tried the Easter Bunny Puff Pastry recipe, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the flaky layers of perfectly golden puff pastry to the charming bunny shape that added a festive touch to our Easter table, every aspect of this treat was impressive. Not only was it visually appealing, but the taste was great, kids loved it. It was a hit with both the kids and adults alike, and it's definitely a recipe I'll be returning to for future Easter celebrations. Two thumbs up for this easy, yet show-stopping, addition to our holiday feast!
