Create chocolate bunny Easter napkin rings from clay for a yummy looking table setting.
Chocolate bunnies are nostalgic for me. The Easter bunny hid our baskets and we had to hunt for them. Sometimes it was very difficult and we needed clues. The hunt was part of the fun. And there was always a tasty reward at the end. It simply was not Easter until I’d bitten the ears off my bunny. Do you eat the ears off first or the tail?
