With my son in the hospital for nearly three months now, I've been away from my kitchen for far too long. Today was the first day of Spring Break for my kids, so while my husband was taking a turn at the hospital with our son, I decided it was high time to cook up some kitchen fun with the rest of the kids! We found these cute little "Cinnabunnies" on Pinterest and couldn't wait to give them a try. They were easy peasy and although our bunny ears ended up looking a little more mouse-like than bunny-like, these little cuties were still great fun to make and yummy too! Next time we'll just make them with longer, floppier ears.

PS My son in in his third round of chemo and so far is responding well to treatment.

The ingredients (1 batch makes about 4 bunny rolls):
1 roll (12.4-oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (8-pack)
Raisins/craisins (for eyes and noses)
Sliced almonds (for teeth)
Pastel sprinkles, optional
Directions:
Place 4 cinnamon rolls onto greased cookie sheet.
(Obviously we were making a double batch in the picture).
Unroll the remaining four cinnamon rolls (we had to use a knife to cut along the lines to get them to unroll).
Cut each unrolled cinnamon roll in half and form into bunny ears (next time I'll make the ears longer and more flopped to the side than we did in these pictures). Place 2 dough ears onto each cinnamon roll, pinching the ear and the face together slightly to keep in place.
Using 3 raisins/craisins place eyes and a nose onto each bunny face. Finally add 2 sliced almonds for teeth.
While still warm, ice the ears with the enclosed icing container, then sprinkle with pastel colored sprinkles if desired.
Makes 4 bunny rolls.
Enjoy!
