White Chocolate Reese’s Easter Bunnies
These no-bake, make-ahead treats are ideal when you want a show-stopping dessert without hours in the kitchen. Whether you’re hosting brunch, lunch, or dinner, a festive sweet like these bunnies makes the holiday memorable.
Spring and Easter celebrations are all about eggs and bunnies, so I wanted to share an easy, charming dessert that looks as cute as it tastes. These white chocolate Reese’s-style eggs are simple to prepare and can be frozen for several weeks, making them a convenient option for holiday planning.
After the success of my homemade Reese’s eggs, which many readers said tasted just like the real thing, I experimented with seasonal shapes and decorations. Those original peanut butter eggs inspired festive variations for holidays, and this version celebrates Easter with white chocolate and bunny details.
For this recipe I formed a peanut butter filling into egg shapes, chilled them, and coated each one in melted white chocolate. Then I added marshmallow tails, pink ears and noses, and small details for eyes and paws. The result: white chocolate Reese’s eggs transformed into charming Easter bunnies that are sure to delight kids and adults alike.

These White Chocolate Easter Bunnies combine creamy peanut butter centers with a smooth white chocolate coating, decorated to look like playful bunnies. They’re a cute, no-bake dessert that’s easy to prepare ahead of time and perfect for Easter gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 10–12 oz. white chocolate, candy melts, or almond bark
For decoration:
- Pink candy melts (or pink/red food coloring to tint a portion of white melts for ears, nose, and paws)
- Mini marshmallows for tails
- Black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate for eyes
Instructions
- Combine the melted butter, peanut butter, salt, vanilla, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture is evenly combined. It will appear crumbly but should hold together and feel smooth when squeezed. If too sticky, add more powdered sugar; if too dry, add a tablespoon of milk and mix again.
- Line a tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Portion about 1 heaping tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture, squeeze and roll into an egg shape. Place each egg on the prepared tray. Chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours until firm, or freeze for 20–30 minutes to speed up the process.
- Melt the white chocolate, candy melts, or almond bark according to package instructions.
- Dip each chilled egg into the melted white chocolate using a fork, fully coating it. Tap the fork gently to remove excess chocolate and return the coated egg to the parchment-lined tray.
- Press a mini marshmallow (or a portion of one) onto the wider side of the egg to form a fluffy tail.
- When the coating has set, melt the pink candy melts and transfer them into a small bag or piping tool. Pipe ears and a small nose onto each bunny. Use black decorating gel or a small dot of melted dark chocolate for the eyes.
- To create bunny paws, pipe one larger pink circle at the narrow end of the egg and three smaller pink dots near the wider end to resemble paw pads. Allow all decorations to set completely.
Notes
This recipe yields about 15 bunnies. Because these treats hold up well in the freezer, you can make them in advance and store them chilled until ready to serve.
