I know I am almost a week late with an Easter post but this guy was too cute not to post about! Hopefully you can remember it for next year. Everyone loved it!

Bunny Bread
Adapted from: recipezar.com

2 loaves of bread dough
2 raisins
2 sliced almonds
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp honey
Spinach Artichoke dip
Assorted fresh vegetables

Cut a fourth off of one loaf of dough; shape into a pear to form head. For body, flatten remaining portion into a 7x6" oval; place on a greased baking sheet. Place the head above the body. Make narrow cuts, about 3/4" deep, on each side of head for whiskers.

Cut second loaf into 4 equal portions. For ears, shape 2 portions into 16" ropes; fold in half. Arrange ears with open ends touching head. Cut a third portion of dough in half; shape into a 3 1/2" oval for back paws. Cut two 1" slits on top edge for toes. Position on each side of body at bottom.

Divide fourth portion of dough into 3 pieces. Shape two pieces into 2 1/2" balls for front paws; shape the remaining piece into two 1" balls for cheeks and one 1/2" ball for nose. Place paws on each side of body at top of body. Place cheeks and nose on face. Add raisins for eyes and almond for teeth. (You can secure cheeks and nose with pieces of toothpick to hold in place.) You can also use a halved white jelly bean instead of the almonds if desired.

Brush dough with butter and honey mixture. Cover and let rise for about 30-35 minutes or til doubled.

Bake at 350º for 30 minutes til golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Place bread on a 16x13" tray. Cut a 5x4" oval in center of body. Hollow out bread leaving a shell. Fill hole in the belly with dip and surround entire bunny with fresh veggies for dipping.

My sister brought dessert, brownies decorated with an evil lamb. This just cracks me up!

My mom also made her 'damn' lamb mold. This is a tradition in our home, just as it is in many. However, my mom HATES to make it, something always goes wrong, yet for as long as I can remember her mom made it and then passed it on to her. One day I am sure the 'damn' lamb mold will be mine. This year my mom made it sticking out its tongue, this is probably why the brownie lamb is so mad!
