Tips and Variations:

  • Press the dough together when you form the ears; no gaps.
  • Do your best to seal the ear dough in the round cinnamon roll. I just used my finger to spread the dough and press it onto the roll. If you don’t, the ears will pop off when you serve them, which does not affect the deliciousness of it! 
  • You need to get the cinnamon rolls vs the ones that are biscuits with like a cracked cinnamon topping. 
  • To store these cinnamon roll bunnies, use an airtight container. 
  • Consider this fun holiday treat for Mother’s Day as well. So much joy! 
  • Consider this as an easy Mother’s day breakfast idea. Get the kids to make it. 
  • If you’d like to make homemade cinnamon rolls instead of using the storebought version, feel free. The shaping concept will be the same. 
  • You can consider sprinkling cinnamon sugar on top of the large bunny rolls if you’d like. Festive sprinkles ad chocolate chips are also an option for these sweet rolls. 
  • If you can’t find pink candy, you can also use a jelly bean.
  • Be sure to add these bunny head rolls to your Easter brunch spread. Your crowd will go wild. Pair with colorful hardboiled eggs, apple pie, or an easy fruit pizza. 

The perfect treat to serve to kids during the Easter holiday. Who wouldn’t enjoy little bunnies drizzled in delicious frosting? Such a cute Easter Breakfast ideas. These would also be great for baby showers.
