Chocolate Bunnies

Makes 28 bunnies

30 minutes prep time

5 minutes cooking time

22 calories per bunny

Ingredients

100g dark chocolate, roughly broken up

2 tablespoons flaked almonds (15g), separated

9 mini marshmallows (4g), cut into three

Method

  1. Line three baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Place the dark chocolate in a small heatproof bowl. Melt in the microwave on High for 1 minute. Stir and cook for a further 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  2. Spoon the melted chocolate into a plastic piping bag. Snip off the tip and pipe a small circle and a larger circle underneath it, directly onto the baking paper. Allow to set slightly.
  3. Place two almonds at the top for ears and half a marshmallow for the tail. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes or until set. Carefully peel bunnies off the paper.

Mish Tips

  • Store the bunnies between sheets of baking paper in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
  • Make after-dinner bunnies by adding a few drops of peppermint essence to the melted chocolate, or using a dark mint-flavoured chocolate. Yum!
  • Use 70% chocolate – it has less sugar than milk chocolate and is a good balance of chocolate taste without too much sugar.
