How about some easy treats to make for Easter?
I've been seeing all kinds of fun ideas on Pinterest, and these are quick to make. My outdoor tea today was with my cute bunny themed Big Star quilt that I made years ago with this fun fabric. My rattan bunny graces my table with my cabbage teapot and these favorite dishes from Pier 1.
Isn't this bunny teacup darling? Lovely Linda from Life and Linda sent me this cute bunny tea infuser a while back.
Margie, from Tea in the Valley sent this Lemon Sugar Bundt Cake tea, and it is so good! Margie and I send each other teas at Christmas and birthdays. Really and truly, I appreciate all of you who read my blog, and thank you so very much for being my friend. Your friendship is such a gift!
Aren't these the cutest little treats?
I had to replant so much of this area because of our extreme cold. I have two tiny Rose of Sharon (Althea) trees that were planted in the Fall; one is in the back corner and the other is to the right of my cherub. I think they are going to make it. The three Vanilla Abelias in the corner died that were planted in the Fall, and I took them back to the nursery and they gave me three more. Also, my Leopard plants that were planted in the Fall started to emerge and then the freeze took them and the nursery gave me three more. All my Holly Ferns died that I've had for years and I replanted with liriopes and Southern Woodland Ferns that you can't see.
This darling sweet girl wanted me to see her class musical which was Westward Ho!, and she sang and danced her little heart away! The performance was incredible and so professionally done. I didn't buy the flowers, but they came from her parents.
I spent the night with Hayden (above) and Harper (below), while they parents attended a wedding in Houston. We made the bunny pretzels together.
The girls did a great job!
Yield: However many you'd like to make; bunnies multiply quickly!
Bunny Pretzel Treats
I've seen these all over Pinterest. I had to use regular mini pretzels, but Pretzel Snaps would work so much better!
Ingredients
- Mini Pretzels (Snaps would be best)
- White candy melts
- Pastel M&M's
Instructions
- Use two M&M's for each bunny. Cut one of the M&M's in half to make the ears for each bunny, and one whole M&M for the face; set aside.
- Arrange your pretzels on a paper plate.
- Place a candy melt on each pretzel, and place them in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, until they begin to soften and melt.
- Arrange the ears of the bunny with the cut side down in a V position, and then place the whole M&M right below for the face of the bunny. Repeat.
- Let cool until they harden and enjoy!
Notes
Instead of doing the melting in the microwave, you can place the pretzels and candy melts onto a parchment lined baking sheet and place them in a low temperature oven, maybe around 250 degrees for a few minutes.
If you use regular mini pretzels, and not the Snaps, like I did, make sure that you place the ears on the crossed arms of the pretzel for support to the ears, instead of the open space on the pretzel.
Thank you for your visit! xo
I'm sharing with these parties:
I saw those on Pinterest over the weekend and thought they were so cute! I was debating about making a batch to send to my son in college. You have some really adorable and talented helpers.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet Kitty you got to have that time with your grand girls to make precious memories. The pretzels look so yummy and cute. Have a great week ahead. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteYou have such a pretty garden and I love the table you set in the yard. The bunny pretzels are so cute and how fun to make the pretzel bunnies with the grand girls. I hope you have a nice week Kitty.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your sweet grand girls Kitty and I know they had fun making your bunny pretzels…such a cute and easy treat! Your teacup is adorable, along with your bunny tea infuser from Linda. Lemon Sugar Bundt Cake Tea sounds so good and like dessert in a cup! 😉 How nice to have a guarantee on your plants and a nursery that will replace them. I hope your week is not too stormy! ❤️
ReplyDeleteThe bunny pretzels look good.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs of you and your grand-girls.
All the best Jan
Kitty I love your tea in your garden and so sorry you lost some plants but also glad you were able to replace them. I also like the bunny infuser...how cute is that. I am going to make those bunny pretzels...they are adorable and so easy. Have a great and Blessed week.
ReplyDeleteYour bunny tea infuser and teacup are adorbs! The bunny pretzels also look super cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you enjoyed the Lemon Sugar Bundt Cake tea. I'm also grateful for your sweet friendship, Kitty!
What a cute post in every way - and those bunny pretzels I bet Vivi would LOVE to make.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the idea. ♥
How adorable is this post?! The pink & green instantly bring Dorothy Draper's signature color scheme of the Greenbrier to mind, as well as Lilly Pulitzer. That teacup and bunny infuser couldn't be any cuter, but wait! Those darling granddaughters and treats definitely are. Harper is looking more like a young teen these days!
ReplyDeleteKitty, I'm sorry your plants didnt survive the winter, but glad your nursery made good on the purchase. I think my garden has survived. My boxwoods needed some dead branches and tips cut out, but all in all I think they'll eventually recover.
Kitty, such an adorable post. Bunny pretzels are so cute along with your sweet teacup. So happy you love the bunny tea infuser. I love mine as well. Happy April. Thank you for the birthday card. xo
ReplyDeleteLove seeing those sweet girls! The bunny pretzels are adorable!
ReplyDeleteAw, the little bunnies are so cute! You have so much fun with your sweet grands. I know they will forever cherish the memories you are making with them. May God bless you to make many, many more!
ReplyDeleteHello Kitty, I love the quilt you made. It’s perfect for spring and Easter.
ReplyDeleteThose Bunny pretzels look delicious and how fun to make them with your granddaughters. Sweet memories for all of you.

Happy April!
