Yummy (And Easy) Chicks and Bunnies for Easter!

I saw this great idea from The Popcorn Factory as a yummy and totally adorable Easter Treat.
But, rather than pay and arm and a leg for it, I decided to try and make my own! And If I do say so myself, they turned out great!

To make my bunnies and chicks I drew them on some wax paper to be my templates.
I flipped it over of course so I don't get Sharpie in my chocolate, then I used a piping bag full of melted and tinted white chocolate and just made my little animals. It was totally easy.
While they sat and hardened I made some rice crispy treats.
Once it was all cool and hard I covered the rice crispy treats with more melted chocolate. before the chocolate hardens I lightly pressed each chick and bunny on to my treats. I put them on smooth side up so no one will ever see all the imperfections on the bottom..

The next step is to decorate. . . I used half a mini marshmallow for each bunny tail, I used a toothpick with milk chocolate to make my chicks eyes. Another piping bag with some orange chocolate made my little chicks beaks and feet.
Let it all cool, cut, and enjoy!

Aren't they cute?!
And they taste as good as they look!
