Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chocolate dark, milk, or semi-sweet, chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter optional
  • 1½ cups melted chocolate for coating
  • Pink candy melts for decoration
  • White candy melts for decoration
  • Mini marshmallows or fondant for bunny tails/ears
  • Edible eyes or sprinkles optional

Method
 

  1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just about to simmer (do not boil).
  2. Pour the hot cream over chopped chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
  3. Add vanilla extract and butter, and mix until glossy and fully combined.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
  5. Scoop small portions and roll into balls. Slightly shape if you want a bunny-style body.
  6. Place on a lined tray and chill again for 20–30 minutes.
  7. Melt coating chocolate using microwave or double boiler.
  8. Dip each truffle into melted chocolate, coat evenly, and place on parchment paper.
  9. While still soft, decorate with bunny tails, ears, and details using candy melts and toppings.
  10. Let set completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
  • If ganache is too soft, chill longer before shaping.
  • Work quickly while decorating so toppings stick properly.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for best taste.
