You’ll find sweet pear bunnies dressed in their finest!

Yield: 8 servings

8 lettuce leaves
8 chilled canned pear halves
16 raisins
8 red cinnamon candies
16 sliced almonds
1 cup cottage cheese

Place 1 lettuce leaf on each salad plate. Place 1 pear half, cut side down, on each lettuce leaf.

Arrange 2 raisins for eyes, 1 candy for nose and 2 almonds for ears on narrow end of each pear half to make rabbit face.

Place 2 tablespoons cottage cheese at opposite end of each pear half for tail.

Substitution: No cottage cheese? A regular-size marshmallow that’s cut in half looks just like a bunny’s tail

Meringue Nest

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • Shredded coconut
  • Candy eggs (jelly beans, chocolate, egg-shaped malt balls)

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (available at most grocery stores). (about 1 to 2 minutes).

  2. In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form.

  3. Then, slowly add the sugar, beating constantly until the mixture is glossy and stiff (another minute or so). Beat in the vanilla extract until just combined.

  4. Now you're ready to make the meringue nests. Spoon three mounds of the mixture onto each baking sheet. Use the bowl of the spoon to shape each mound into a 4-inch-wide circle with a 2-inch-deep depression in the center. Give your nests a lived-in look by sprinkling shredded coconut over each one.

  5. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the meringues are dry and the coconut has turned golden brown. Once cool, tuck one malted candy egg or jelly bean into the nest for each child in the family. Makes 6 nests.
