Chocolate-Coconut Easter Bunnies

Yesterday, I got lost.

Lost in my local Michaels Craft Store, that is.

By the time I found the exit, I’d made quite a few new friends: scrapbook supplies, paintbrushes, and a bunny-shaped candy mold. Right away, I put the candy mold to good use:

Coconut Melties

Bunny coconut melties! Who needs chocolate bunnies when you can have coconut ones? (Oooh wait, I take that back. I still want the chocolate bunnies too!)

So I later made a 2nd batch, with Hot Chocolate Butter.

(No photos of them, though. As their name might suggest, melties aren’t exactly easy to photograph!)

Note: If you can’t find Artisana, you can use homemade coconut butter.

Question of the Day:
Do you love craft stores?

I could spend all day browsing through the stickers, flowers, art supplies, and of course the cake-decorating supplies! Winking smile

    These look adorable. I’m always afraid the little plastic molds will met with warm chocolate, but I’ve had good results using ice cub makers with adorable shapes! There are all sorts online for a few bucks a pop. Super cute.

    You could also pour a little PMS-Chocolate into the molds and THEN pour in the coconut butter 🙂
