For bunny pretzels, dip whole mini pretzels into melted white chocolate. Tap off excess and place on parchment paper.

Add a pink candy pearl or dot of red gel for the nose.
Drizzle pink melted candy for bunny ears.

Step 4: Let Them Set

Allow the pretzels to cool at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Arrange on a festive Easter platter or package in cute treat bags for gifts.
