Ingredients

13 oz can cinnamon rolls *
Candy for the eyes and nose*
1 cup Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open cinnamon rolls and place 4 on the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out so there is plenty of room.
13 oz can cinnamon rolls *
Carefully unroll each remaining cinnamon roll and then shape that strip of dough into ears at the “top” of each cinnamon roll on the baking sheet. I like to put the cut ends of each strip together at the top cinnamon roll and then shape dough into ears. Make sure to gently press the ears onto the "top" of the bunny head so it will bake together and not detach after baking.
Bake the cinnamon roll bunnies for 12-15 minutes. Just until golden brown. Check the bunnies halfway through baking, if they seem to be misshapen, carefully remove them from the oven, gently reshape them with a wooden spoon or spatula, then finish baking.
Frost each bunny then add candy for the eyes, nose*, and teeth! You can use the frosting that comes with the cinnamon rolls or use extra cream cheese frosting for a nice thick layer.

Tips and Tricks

*Different types of store-bought cinnamon rolls: If you happen to get cinnamon rolls that don't unroll that's ok! Just see pics in the post above for how to shape those. You can also use Grand-sized cinnamon rolls for extra-large bunnies.
*You can also use different colored frosting to make these extra detailed!
*I loved using leftover heart candies from Valentine’s Day for the cutest nose shape!
Leftovers: Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Make-Ahead: Make these Easter cinnamon rolls the day before, decorate them, and store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
