Puff Pastry Bunnies Recipe

Whip up these tasty bunny Easter treats in about 30 minutes with puff pastry, cinnamon sugar and whipped cream!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
  • 1 box of puff pastry (2 sheets) we used Pepperidge Farms
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • Cool Whip or whipped cream
  • Pastel Easter sprinkles (or any festive sprinkle mix)

Method
 

  1. Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  2. Butter step: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small pan or microwave.
  3. Puff pastry prep: Take your box of puff pastry and gently unfold the two sheets. It's okay if they're a bit stiff; they'll loosen up as they thaw. You can leave them out of the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes if they are too stiff. Place one sheet on a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll the sheet out a bit to thin out. Repeat with the other sheet. 
  4. Cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. 
  5. Brush butter: Brush melted butter over one sheet and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix over evenly. Place the other sheet on top. Crimp the edge with a fork to seal. 
  6. Cut the pastry: Use a pizza slicer or sharp knife to cut the pastry into slices about ½" wide.
  7. Shape the bunnies: Grab the two ends and make a twist at the top and a second twist to make the ears. Place 2" in apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake: Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
  9. Whipped cream: Once baked, let your bunnies cool.  Add a dollop of Cool Whip, whipped cream or frosing to each bunny to create a fluffy "tail." Sprinkkle some pastel Easter sprinkles over the tails.
