Pretzel Bunnies and Ducks

These pretzel Bunnies and Ducks are a cute and super easy Easter treat idea.

Pretzel Bunnies and Ducks

For the pretzel ducks, you need:
Yellow chocolate melts
Pretzels
Orange decorating gel
Black decorating gel

Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 2 minutes at a really low setting.   And then repeat as necessary until it’s melted and smooth.

Start by dropping a small amount of yellow chocolate onto the pretzel:

Lift up your spoon from the chocolate where the “wing” would go.  You can see that lifting the spoon gives it some height and texture so it actually looks like a wing. Add a small dot of the black decorating gel for the eye.
Use the orange decorating gel to draw a beak over the top little jut out of the pretzel.

Now for the pretzel bunnies.  You’ll need:
Pretzels
White chocolate melts
Black decorating gel
Pink decorating gel

Again, melt a small amount of the chocolate in the microwave on low power. Microwave it until it’s smooth and melted. Add a small amount of chocolate to the inside of the pretzels.  This time lift your spoon at the ears or the cheeks.  You don’t really need the texture for this one, but you have to lift the spoon somewhere.  You can see in the photo below that I lifted the spoon at the ears for the two outer pretzels and attempted cheeks for the middle pretzel.  You can decide which works best. Draw the ears and nose in pink, and draw the eyes and whiskers in black.
