What You Need

2-1/2 cups thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping, divided

1/4 cup flaked coconut

4 licorice twists

10 jelly beans

3 gumdrops

10 pieces string licorice (4 inch)

Make It

LEAVE 1 cake whole; cut remaining cake into 3 pieces as shown in diagram. Arrange on large cutting board or platter to resemble a bunny's head and bow tie, using small amount of Cool Whip to attach pieces to each other.

kraft kitchens tips

Variation

Prepare as directed, using tinted coconut. Just mix 1/2 tsp. water with a few drops food colouring. Add to coconut in resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Shake until coconut is evenly tinted. Sprinkle over centres of bunny's ears.

Make it Easy

Use a serrated knife to easily cut the cake without tearing it.

Note

Decorate cake with jelly beans just before serving to prevent colour from jelly beans melting into the Cool Whip.

I made this with Jello (gelatin) rather than cake and it turned out great!

shoestring licorice is hard to find so I just made coloured icing instead, and as a lighter dessert recipe change, I have used jello instead of cake, still yummy !
