Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 12 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- 24 chocolate-covered pretzels
- 24 candy eyes
- 1 cup colorful candy coating, melted
- 1/4 cup royal icing or melted chocolate (for assembly)
Instructions
- Prepare Workspace. Clear your counter space and gather all the ingredients to ensure a smooth assembly process.
- Base Setup. Place each mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup upside down on the work surface to serve as the base of each race car.
- Attach Wheels. Use royal icing or melted chocolate as an adhesive to attach two chocolate-covered pretzels on each side of the Reese’s base, forming the wheels of the car.
- Add Eyes. Secure candy eyes on top of each Reese’s using a dab of royal icing or melted chocolate to create the bunny’s eyes on the race cars.
- Decorate with Candy Coating. Drizzle or dip the assembled race cars in melted colorful candy coating to add a bright and festive touch.
- Set to Harden. Allow the race cars to cool and set at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to ensure everything is firmly in place.
Notes
- Make sure the royal icing or melted chocolate is slightly cooled before assembly to avoid melting the candy coating.
- These treats are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
- For added creativity, consider using different colored candy coatings or additional edible decorations.
- Handle the candy eyes gently to prevent smudging or damage.
- If you want firmer wheels, allow the pretzels to dry completely before assembly.
