Easter bunny cookies are the perfect no-bake dessert for Easter! These are super easy to make and everyone will love the combination of sweet and salty.
When I was asked to use the all new Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Minis and/or Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Smooth & Crunchy Egg in a recipe, I couldn’t resist the opportunity!
The combination of creamy milk chocolate, smooth peanut butter and crunchy Butterfinger bits really satisfied my love for the peanut butter/chocolate combination, and they make the sweetest bunny face cookies!
Perfect for recipes, adding to an Easter basket, or a sweet snack, these festive soon-to-be favorites are perfect for the whole family. Plus, you can feel better about sharing with your loved ones as both items contain no artificial flavors or colors!

How to Make a No-Bake Butterfinger Dessert
This would be a really fun activity to do with kids. Let them get creative with the different faces they create. You could even use different color candy coating and icing.
Easter Bunny Cookies Ingredients
- Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Minis (Contains no artificial colors and flavors. Added colors from natural sources)
- Round Butter Crackers
- Regular-sized Marshmallows for the bunny ears
- Vanilla candy coating to coat the cookie
- Candy eyes
- Pink food writing marker for creating the ears
- Pink icing in a writer for the bunny nose
- Black icing in a writer for the bunny mouth
I used round butter crackers for the shape and regular-sized marshmallows for the ears. You will need one Butterfinger candy and two crackers per bunny face cookie.
Instructions for Easter Bunny Cookies
Set out a parchment paper lined baking sheet and set aside.
Create a “sandwich” by crushing one Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Minis and put it in between two crackers as shown below.
Melt white candy coating as per directions on the package. Cover the sandwiched Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Minis completely with the coating.
Be careful transferring the cookie sandwich between the coating and parchment paper to avoid breaking. After they dry, they will be much easier to handle.
Set the cookies on the parchment paper to finish the rest of the head and face of the bunny cookie. It’s important that the coating doesn’t dry completely before adding the eyes and ears, so work quickly!
Add the candy eyes in the top third portion of the cookie.
Use a sliver of a marshmallow for the ears, and draw on the pink of the inner ear with a food marker. I snipped off a small part from the side of the marshmallow with kitchen shears.
While the coating is still wet, attach the marshmallows to the top of the Easter bunny cookies. If the coating has dried,use a bit of additional melted candy coating to hold. Once the candy coating is dry to the touch, add on the noses with the pink icing writer.
Use the black to draw on the mouths as shown below. Allow everything to dry completely before transferring.
Add your Easter bunny cookies to a platter and serve at your Easter celebration!
Here we filled the platter with additional Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Minis so everyone could sample the cookies as well as the pastel blue and gold individually wrapped foil cups. I even set out a few Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Smooth & Crunchy Eggs on the table.
Here, the creamy milk chocolate, smooth peanut butter and crunchy Butterfinger bits are molded into a festive egg shape that will add a bold surprise to any Easter basket.

Once cool, use a pencil to draw large hearts on the wax paper envelopes, and then cut out hearts. (I was surprised how easy it is to cut the wax paper with melted crayon inside.) Initially, I was going to trace prefect’s hearts, but I decided to freehand them and let my daughter cut them out.
