Ingredients
You only need four simple ingredients to make these sweet little bunny biscuits-and no mixer required.
- Canned biscuit dough - Grands Flaky Layers work great. You'll need an even number of biscuits, since each bunny uses one whole biscuit for the face and one biscuit (cut in half) for the ears. For example, 8 biscuits make 4 bunnies.
- Easter M&Ms - Pastel colors bring that classic springtime look.
- Mini chocolate chips - Perfect for tiny bunny eyes.
- Almond slivers - These make adorable whiskers or even little ears if you want to switch it up.

Substitutions & Variations
Make it your own-whether you need a swap or want to try a savory version for brunch.
- If you're skipping nuts, just leave out the almonds and use pretzel sticks or even crispy chow mein noodles for the whiskers instead.
- No M&Ms or chocolate chips on hand? Raisins, dried cranberries, or blueberries make adorable stand-ins for bunny noses and eyes.
- Not into sweets? Turn these into a fun brunch item by skipping the candy and using olive slices for eyes, a cherry tomato nose, and some shredded carrots or chives for whiskers.
- Add a little brightness with orange zest-infused honey butter or a splash of almond extract to give the biscuits a springy, Southern flair.
How to Make Easter Bunny Biscuits
These come together in minutes and are almost too cute to eat (almost!).
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Open the can of biscuits. Set aside half for the faces. Cut the remaining half in half-these become the bunny's ears.
Step 3: Gently press two ear pieces onto the top of each whole biscuit to form bunny shapes.
Step 4: In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, cinnamon, and honey to make cinnamon honey butter. Brush each bunny with the cinnamon honey butter.
Step 5: Decorate each bunny face with 2 mini chocolate chips for eyes, 1 Easter M&M for the nose, and 2-3 almond slivers on each side of the nose for whiskers. Make sure to gently press decorations into the dough so they stay put while baking.
Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 7: Let cool slightly before serving!
🐰 Let your kids help with the decorating-it's fun and gets them involved in what they eat!
Tips for Best Results
Here are a few easy tips to help your Easter Bunny Biscuits turn out perfectly every time.
- Press the decorations gently into the dough so they stay in place while the biscuits puff up in the oven.
- Brushing with cinnamon honey butter adds a warm, sweet flavor that makes these biscuits a delicious dessert.
- Be sure to pull the biscuits when they're golden brown to avoid overbaking and melting the chocolate too much.
- Stack the finished biscuits on a tiered cake stand with muffins and fruit for a festive Easter brunch setup.
- Serve them with deviled eggs, yogurt banana splits, or scrambled eggs for a fun sweet-and-savory breakfast plate.
- For a festive treat, wrap them in clear cellophane treat bags to tuck into Easter baskets, lunchboxes, or gift them to neighbors.
Storage
These bunny biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but they're easy to store or prep ahead if needed.
- Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds or warm them in the air fryer at 300ºF for 2-3 minutes.
- Freezing: If you want to freeze them, bake the biscuits first but wait to decorate-then thaw and add the faces when you're ready to serve.
- Make ahead: For parties or Easter baskets, you can bake and decorate the day before, then store them in a single layer to keep the toppings from getting smudged.
FAQ
No problem! These biscuits are super flexible. If you're out of M&Ms or chocolate chips, try using raisins, dried cranberries, blueberries, or even mini marshmallows. The important part is having fun with it.
For a brunch-friendly twist, skip the sweet decorations and use sliced olives for eyes, a cherry tomato or red pepper nose, and shredded carrots or chives for whiskers. They're just as cute and pair perfectly with eggs or fresh fruit.
Yes, each bunny needs one full biscuit for the face and half of another biscuit (cut in two) for the ears. Just be sure to start with an even number of biscuits so you can build matching sets.
