1 9×13 box of brownie mix
eggs
oil
water
1 package of large edible eyes
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 – 4 C powder sugar
brown gel food coloring
pink gel food coloring
2 piping bags fitted with a number 2 tip
1 squeeze bottle
1 cookie sheet fitted with parchment paper
1 9×13 baking dish fitted with parchment paper
1 bunny cookie cutter, about 4 inches in height

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Follow the directions on the back of the brownie box in order to bake the brownies

Tear off a large sheet of parchment paper so that the sides come up over the 9×13 baking dish

Pour brownie batter into the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean

Let brownies completely cool

Using a standing mixer, mix together the egg whites, cream of tarter, vanilla, and powder sugar and mix until stiff peaks form

Once the royal icing is made, spit into 2 bowls

Add a few drops of brown into 1 bowl and mix. Add in a few more drops to get the shade you want

Repeat step with the pink coloring in the second bowl

Scoop a little bit of icing into the piping bags

Add 2 teaspoons of water into the brown royal icing and mix until combined

Pour into the squeeze bottle

Carefully lift the parchment paper out of the baking dish with the brownies and place onto the counter

Using the cookie cutter, cut out 6 bunnies

Place cut out bunnies onto a cookie sheet

Using the piping bag with the brown icing, out line the shape of the bunnies head.

Fill in with the brown thinned icing

Add 2 large eyes into the center of the bunny

Let icing dry for 2 hours before adding the final details

Once the base layer is dry, using the pink piping bag, pipe a upside down triangle under the eyes

Pipe the pink for the ears

Using the brown icing, pipe cheeks on the bunny

Let the cheeks dry for an hour before adding on the small dots for the “whiskers”

Let bunny completely dry for an hour before enjoying!

This amazing recipe is perfect for the last minute Easter celebrations. It would be great to end the day with English blessings:

“Easter is the time to repent for all our sins and thank God for all his blessings over us. Let us prepare ourselves for the returning of Christ.”

“May the glory and the promise of this joyous time of year Bring peace and happiness to you and those you hold most dear. And may Christ, Our Risen Savior, always be there by your side To bless you most abundantly and be your loving guide.”

Happy Easter!
