Bunny
Pears are a quick, healthy Easter snack made with a
pear half and simple toppings. Kids can assemble the
bunny face using raisins (or mini chocolate chips), a
red candy nose, and ears made from nuts or pear
slices. Finish with a cottage cheese “tail” for a cute
spring-themed food craft.

bunny pear
Ingredients
- 1 pear half
- 2 raisins or mini
chocolate chips (for eyes)
- 1 red candy (for nose)
- 2 almonds or cashews
(for ears)
- Pear slices (nut-free
ear option)
- Cottage cheese (for
tail)
Instructions
- Place a pear half on a plate with the narrow end
pointing up.
- Press two raisins (or mini chocolate chips) into
the pear for eyes.
- Add one red candy for the nose.
- Press two almonds or cashews into the top for ears
(or use thin pear slices for a nut-free option).
- Spoon a small dollop of cottage cheese near the
bottom as the bunny tail.
- Serve right away.
Kid-Friendly Tips
- Let kids build their own bunny faces—great for
snack time or an Easter party.
- Use a toothpick (adult help) to make tiny starter
holes for raisins so they press in easily.
- For younger kids, prep all toppings in small bowls
like a “bunny building bar.”
Fun Variations
- Nut-Free: Use pear slices or
apple slices for ears.
- Extra Color: Add shredded coconut
“grass” or a few blueberries on the plate.
- Different Fruit: Try using a
banana half or apple slice for a new bunny base.
Notes
If making ahead, brush the pear
lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning. Assemble
close to serving time for the freshest look.
