    Maltesers MaltEaster Bunnies are hands down my favourite Easter chocolate treat – a big call I know!  These Malteaster Bunny Cupcakes are a great way of combining my love for these chocolate treats with another one of my big loves – cake!

    Maltesers Bunny Cupcakes

    Not that I really need much of an excuse to make cupcakes, but these Malteaster Bunny Cupcakes are a fun Easter project to make with the kids (especially when they are bored!!) and my boys had a great time decorating their ‘special cakes’ – although they may have eaten a few too many of the easter eggs!

    Maltesers Bunny Cupcakes

    We decided to keep things simple with our decorations and just used a few M&M’s Speckled Easter Eggs to decorate them (also another one of my favourites!) but you can go as all out as you like with your decorations, personally I also LOVE these Malteser Bunny Chocolate Cupcakes from Bake Play Smile, how could anyone resist a cupcake topped with Maltesers?!

        Oh thanks so much! The majority of the stuff I make gets sent to my husbands work, otherwise the boys and I would just eat it all!
