These Easter Bunny fruit snacks are an easy, adorable way to get kids excited about the holiday while adding fresh fruit to the menu.
Made using kiwi, grapes, mini chocolate buttons, candy eyes and a few sprinkles, these little kiwi bunnies come together in minutes and are almost too cute to eat.
I always like to make holidays feel special with themed treats—spooky snacks for Halloween and strawberry chocolate hearts for Valentine’s Day—so Easter naturally calls for bunny-inspired bites. My kids loved these right away.
Quick to assemble and a fun way to include fresh fruit on an otherwise candy-filled day, these bites are perfect for an Easter fruit tray. They pair well with cheese skewers or fruit carrots for a festive spread, or tuck them into lunchboxes for a cheerful, nutritious surprise.
Recipe Tip
I don’t peel the kiwis (the skin is edible), but if your children dislike the fuzzy texture, peel the kiwi before slicing it in half.
Easter Bunny Fruit Ingredients
- Kiwi: Choose firm kiwis and slice them crosswise. Trim the ends if needed so the halves sit flat.
- Grapes: Oblong grapes work best. Cut them lengthwise for ears and crosswise for the feet.
- Extras: Candy eyes, mini chocolate buttons for noses, and round white sprinkles for the feet.
How to Make Easter Bunny Fruit
- Prepare the fruit: Slice the kiwis in half crosswise. Trim the ends if necessary so each half lies flat. Halve the grapes lengthwise for ears and cut additional grapes crosswise for feet.
- Assemble the bunnies: Insert the top of a toothpick into the kiwi and secure two grape halves as ears. Alternatively, if you prefer not to use toothpicks, attach the grape ears with a dab of melted chocolate and let it set.
- Finish: Add candy eyes and press a mini chocolate button onto each kiwi for a nose. Top the grape feet with round white sprinkles and place them at the base of the kiwi.
Possible Variations
- Body: Substitute strawberries, blackberries or figs for the kiwi base.
- Ears: Use purple grapes, or shape ears from melted white or dark chocolate.
- Feet: Swap the grape slices for halved blueberries or small banana slices.
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within one day for best texture and freshness.
FAQs
Place the kiwi cut side down and attach the grape ears using a small amount of melted chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
They’re great on their own as an afternoon snack, or arranged on a festive platter with other fruit and snacks.
Remove candy toppings and toothpicks, then freeze the fruit for future smoothies.
