These cute little bunnies came to my attention first via a coupon flyer a couple of years ago. How could I resist them? This would be a great project to make with the kids or grandkids!

Ingredients

1 package Bridgford Parkerhouse Roll Dough, thawed
¼ cup melted butter mixed with 1 tablespoon honey
24 raisins
24 slivered almonds

Directions

Lightly grease sheet pans.

With lightly floured hands roll a piece of dough between palms of hands to a rope approx 12-16 inches long.

Continue with remaining pieces of dough. Place ropes of dough on lightly floured surface.

To assemble bunnies, coil one rope into a circle on prepared sheet pan.

Take second rope and cut off a 4 inch piece; set aside. Coil remaining 8 inch rope into another circle for the head, placing it above the first coil.

Divide the remaining 4 inch piece in half for ears. Attach to bunny head.

Continue with remaining pieces of dough, placing bunnies 3-4 inches apart on prepared pans. Brush with honey butter. Let rise until double in size.

Bake in a preheated 375º oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with additional honey butter. Let cool.

With a toothpick, poke holes for eyes, teeth and nose. Place raisins (cut in half) in holes for eyes, and one raisin for each nose. Insert 2 slivered almonds for bunny teeth.
