Instructions to Make Bunny Tails

Making this Easter Bunny Tails recipe takes less than ten minutes. It’s as easy as cutting out 1-inch rounds from the biscuit dough, cooking them in veggie oil, then rolling them in a sweetened glaze and coconut shreds.

Step One: Preheat Oil

• Begin by pouring the vegetable oil into a sauce pan and place it on stove over medium-high heat.

Step Two: Cut Circles from Dough

• Remove the biscuits from the can and lay them on a cutting board.
• Using a 1-inch round cookie cutter, cut circles from each biscuit. I was able to get 4 circles from each biscuit.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have a cookie cutter, a bottle cap (such as one from a bottle of olive oil) would work as well.

Step Three: Cook

• Carefully place 4-6 of the donut rounds into the oil to cook. Once one side is golden brown, use tongs to flip and fry the other side. When both sides are golden brown, carefully remove from the oil and place on a plate to cool.

Step Four: Prepare Glaze and Coconut

• While donut rounds are cooling, prepare the glaze and coconut.
• To make the glaze, add the milk, vanilla and powdered sugar to a shallow bowl, and mix until combined.
• Then, in a second bowl, add the sweetened coconut shreds. Be sure to use a shallow bowl for the coconut so you can easily roll the glazed tails around until they are completely covered. I used a simple pasta bowl.

Step Five: Dip in Glaze Then Coconut

• Once the rounds are completely cooled and working with one donut round at a time, use a spoon to dip it into the glaze and cover it on all sides.
• Next, place the round in the bowl of coconut and roll it around until covered.

Step Six: Allow to Set

• Place the coconut-covered Easter Bunny Tails about 1-inch apart on a piece of parchment paper to set. This will take about 15 minutes.

And that’s it! Your fun and fuzzy Bunny Tails are finished and ready to eat! Aren’t they precious?!

Serve these easy Easter treats as a snack or place them in a snack bag along with a cute treat bag topper or gift tag and give them as a gift. Or enjoy these Bunny Tails yourself (I won’t tell, promise!) 😉
