You can find the complete ingredients list and instructions in the printable version of this Bunny Tails recipe at the end of this post.

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 hole 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.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

Use gel food coloring in the glaze for a pastel twist.
Add a drop of almond extract to the glaze for extra flavor.
Make ahead and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Recipe Variations, Additions, and Substitutions

Swap the glaze for melted white chocolate for a richer treat.
Try toasted coconut for a different texture and taste.
Don’t like coconut? Roll the glazed donut holes in sprinkles instead!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I bake the donut holes instead of frying?

A: Yes! Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden, then proceed with glaze and coconut.

How do I store leftover Bunny Tails?

A: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They’re best enjoyed fresh!
