Step 1: Make the cereal mixture
1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat.

4. Let set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.

💡Tips:
- Grease your hands or spoon with butter or nonstick spray to make pressing the mixture easier.
- No bunny cookie cutter? Use an egg shape and draw on bunny features with melted chocolate or icing.
- Want colored bunnies? Tint the melted marshmallow mixture with food coloring before adding cereal.
- These treats can be made 1–2 days ahead — just store in an airtight container at room temp.
