Easter Dessert ~ bunny truffles

Cute as a bunny 

 Sweet as can be

 Made for my honey 

And perfect for thee 

 Thee means you!  (had to google that one) (ok....never said I was a poet)  :)

 Need an easy, cute and delicious little sweet dessert for Easter?  These truffle bites fit the bill.  They are perfect for your Easter table and present as a darling little gift to someone special.  I found the colorful chinese take out boxes pictured below at the dollar store for mine.  And this recipe makes a lot too. 

 Simple ingredients are: 

•  1 - 8 oz. size package of cream cheese.  (I used 1/3 less fat variety) 
• 1 tsp. almond extract (I used 2 because I love almond)
•  4-5 cups confectioner's sugar
•  sweetened shredded coconut

Cream softened cream cheese and almond extract until fluffy.  Add 4 cups sugar, 1 cup at a time.  Then add the 5th cup of conf. sugar a little at a time until you can roll a small amount of dough in your hand and it holds together in a small bite size ball.  Roll in the coconut and store in closed container in the refrigerator.  It's still so cold here I have mine stored on the side porch (yikes).  :)  These are so cute and kids, young and old, will love them.

Remember the grass I showed you in an earlier post that I grew in my big papier mache bunny?  I plan to plunk a pretty pedestal cake platter, full of bunny tails, right in the middle of it for my brunch Easter table.

 Happy tails to you this week!   xoxoxo
