Equipment

  • parchment paper
  • heavy duty sheet pan
  • sandwich bag or toothpick
  • dough knife or sharp knife

Ingredients

  • 1 17.5 ounce package large refrigerator cinnamon rolls
  • 1 16.3-ounce package large refrigerator biscuits
  • 10 candy eyes, chocolate chips, nuts, or candy coated chocolates
  • colored sprinkles
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • The cinnamon rolls will serve as the bunny face. Place these on the prepared baking sheets. The finished bunny cinnamon rolls will be quite large. You will likely only be able to fit two to three bunnies on each baking sheet.

  • Using a biscuit cutter, cut two ear shapes off the top and bottom of each biscuit. The remainder will be a bow tie shape. Dip the ears into pink colored sugar or sprinkles and the bow tie into whatever color sprinkles you like. Tuck these under the top and bottom of the cinnamon roll.

  • Bake the bunny cinnamon rolls 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a rack.
  • Transfer the frosting that came with the cinnamon rolls to a small sandwich bag and cut off the tip for a makeshift piping bag.
  • Once the rolls are cooled, use the frosting to adhere the candy eyes on the bunny faces and to draw a mouth and whiskers. (See note below if using an alternative ingredient for the eyes.)

Notes

Nutritional values are approximate and will vary depending on the ingredients used.
If you aren't using candy eyes, you can use chocolate chips, nuts, or candy-coated chocolates for eyes. 
For more homemade cinnamon roll bunnies: Make a batch of one of our fan favorite cinnamon rolls, reserving part of the dough to cut into ears and bowtie.
These recipes all work well for that:
To make ahead: I am partial to making homemade cinnamon rolls for these bunnies, so I freeze my cinnamon rolls and some extra dough a few weeks in advance to make it easy. The night before baking, I pull out the cinnamon rolls and dough to thaw and rise. In the morning, the kids can assemble their Cinnamon Roll Bunnies.
If you want to make these gluten-free, homemade is going to be the way to go.
  1. Try this gluten-free cinnamon roll recipe from Lynn's Kitchen Adventures.
  2. Be sure that any sprinkles or candies you use are gluten-free.
To make these vegan, you'll need to do a couple things:
  1. Make a homemade dough without eggs and using plant-based milk and butter OR pick up a few cans of Immaculate Baking refrigerated rolls and biscuits.
  2. Be sure that any sprinkles or candies you use are vegan. One clue will be that they use pure cane sugar.
