Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls 8-count each, with icing

  • Sprinkles or pastel decorations optional, for Easter flair

Method
 

Preheat Oven:
  1. Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  1. Place one whole cinnamon roll on the sheet — this will be the bunny’s head.

Bake:
  1. Bake 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls neatly when shaping ears.
If ears start separating while baking, pinch them back together before decorating.
Add shredded coconut dyed green with food coloring around the bunnies to look like “grass” for presentation.
For homemade flair, make your own cream cheese glaze and drizzle instead of canned icing.

What if I don’t have canned cinnamon rolls?
