Easter Bunny Reese’s Race Cars Ingredients
- 12 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- 24 chocolate-covered pretzels
- 24 candy eyes
- 1 cup colorful candy coating, melted
- 1/4 cup royal icing or melted chocolate (for assembly)
Instructions
- Prepare Workspace: Clear your counter space and gather all ingredients needed to assemble the race cars to make the process smooth and organized.
- Set Car Base: Place each mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup upside down; this will serve as the base body of each race car.
- Attach Wheels: Using the royal icing or melted chocolate as glue, attach two chocolate-covered pretzels on each side of the Reese’s cup to form the car’s wheels. Allow the glue to set briefly to hold them in place.
- Add Eyes: Secure two candy eyes on the top front part of each Reese’s cup using icing to create the ‘bunny’ face element of the race cars.
- Decorate with Candy Coating: Drizzle or dip each assembled race car in the melted colorful candy coating for a festive and colorful finishing touch.
- Set to Harden: Allow the decorated race cars to sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes, letting the candy coating and icing fully set before serving or handling.
Notes
- The royal icing or melted chocolate acts as a strong edible adhesive for easy assembly.
- To melt candy coating smoothly, use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently.
- Feel free to customize colors of candy coating depending on your Easter theme.
- These treats are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
- Adult supervision recommended when handling melted candy coating.
