Overdosing on Chocolate Bunnies


**Thank you East-ah Bunnie**  (for the 4 pounds of chocolate that you left in your wake!) So, what to do with all of that leftover candy?   Yes, in my household (so far) there is leftover candy (grandma gave BabyK a bunny the same size as her- and I think weighs as much too!)
  • 1 Peep + a choice bunny part + 2 crunchy graham crackers = mmmm s'mores!
  • Put in a resealable bag and crush and add to brownies, cake batter, or cookie dough as an extra "homemade" touch
  • Got milk?  Pour melted bunny into your milk for yummy choc-milk or hot cocoa, or even your morning java jolt
  • Random mini bunnies make for a great cordial- cut of the tip of the ear(s), pour in a shot of your fave liquor and make a toast to EB Bunny
  • Melt down the chocolate in a double boiler and use for:
    • chocolate covered strawberries (they're in season right now!)
    • chocolate covered Peeps (umm, I like those nasty marshmallow-y things!)
    • chocolate covered pretzels (heck, sprinkle these with any other leftover candy- perfect salty/ sweet snack!)
    • dip plastic spoons into melted chocolate, wrap with plastic and save for your morning mochas! 
    • 're-purpose' your chocolate and pour into plastic candy molds and 're-gift!'
    • Fondue- who says you can't have chocolate for dinner (forget the cheese!)
    • ice cream topping
    • ... need I go on?  What DOESN'T chocolate go yummy with?
I was thinking that I should do an entry for the leftover eggs, but that's so not as much fun!  Besides, the picture of the cute baby and two dozen eggs isn't as cute as the one above!

Enjoy your chocolate!
