How to Make Your Own Butter Bunnies for Easter

DIY BUTTER BUNNIES for EASTER!!!

Hi, everyone! I hope you are making things or planning to make things or dye eggs for Easter.

There are SO MANY cute Easter things to make. The inspiration on the internet is ENDLESS.

What is a butter bunny? A butter bunny is molded butter that looks like an Easter bunny.

I did see some butter bunnies you can buy but didn't see how to make them so that's what this post is for.

These little butter bunnies will look so cute on an Easter table, don't you think? Totally unexpected, too. That's the fun part. The unexpected. People will look at them and say, "what's that?". And you can say, "Oh, it's just some butter bunnies I made." Lol.

Butter bunnies... who knew?

Target used to sell butter bunnies, but they're not available this year that I can see, anyway.

When I started thinking about making them I looked for just the right silicone mold. I found one that I thought would work. I wanted a 3D bunny not a flat one. If you want a flat one there are multiple molds that would work also. It could be cute flat, too.

This is the back. Hard to believe it turns into a bunny from this side.

There really isn't a recipe for this.

1. leave butter at room temperature for 4 hours.

2. Put in microwave for 20 seconds at a time until butter is mushy.

3. Remove paper from butter and insert into mold.

4. Let harden for several hours or overnight.

5. Carefully remove the silicone from bunny.

6. Put a dot of red food coloring on a paper plate and with a fine little

brush lightly brush on some red in the bunny's ears. Just a touch will do.

TAKE NOTE:

When putting butter in bunny mold make sure that there are no air bubbles and make sure to fill the bunny's nose completely. Some of my bunnies didn't have full noses. Lol.

I guess you could color in the eye, too, if you wanted. I was afraid I'd ruin it but it might be great ..

I didn't think I had a butter knife but when I searched in the drawer I found one! Yay. It makes the picture look more like butter with a butter knife.

Of course, flowers and doilies help to make everything prettier...

Here's the bunny butt. I was wondering about putting a cute tail on the bunny like a sprig of cauliflower but I think he's just right as he is. You, of course, can take it from here and embellish the butter bunny as much as you like.

Now if you want to serve your guests a real treat, Theresa, from Shoestring Elegance shows us how to...

That is too cute, I'd hate to chop off his head to butter my bread but I guess I could start from his bottom and work my way up! A bit like a gingerbread man!! I guess any moulds could make butter shapes, what a wonderful world of ideas you've just opened up, thanks!
