How Do I Make Cocoa Rice Krispie Treats

Making Cocoa Rice Krispie Treats is just as easy as making any rice krispie treats. To make the chocolatey flavor use chocolate rice krispies or use cocoa pebbles.

After using the rabbit cookie cutter to create the bunny shapes, you will need a few things like large candy eyes and edible Easter grass to create the cute little face.

Using a disposable piping bag and piping tips makes attaching the decorations that much easier. Plus the kids love using piping bags to squeeze out the icing.
