What You’ll Need to Make Easter Bunny Circus Animal Cookies:

dipping cookies into pink candy melt

In a shallow bowl, melt the pink candy melts in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the candy is fully melted. Use the dipping fork to dip the cookies into the candy and gently tap off the excess.

Place the freshly dipped cookies on to a sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle with pastel nonpareils. Allow the melted candy to harden and firm (about 20-60 minutes depending on temperature and humidity) before handling. If you’re in a hurry, a brief trip into the refrigerator or freezer will make quick work of this step.
