1. In a large microwave safe bowl, heat margarine and marshmallows at HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth.
2. Add KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated. Cool slightly.
3. To make 7-inch high bunny, shape 3 1/2 cups cereal mixture for body and 2 cups for head. Join head and body with wooden picks to create bunny. Shape remaining mixture into ball for the “cottontail“. Roll in coconut and attach to the body with wooden pick. Make ears, whiskers and bowtie with fruit roll-up. Cut two slits in head to attach ears. Create eyes, nose and buttons with miniature marshmallows and gumdrop halves. Best if served the same day.
Microwave cooking times may vary.
CONVENTIONAL DIRECTIONS:
Melt margarine in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Follow steps 2 and 3 above.
NOTE: For best results, use fresh marshmallows. 1 (7-oz) jar marshmallow creme can be substituted for marshmallows. Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended. Store no more than two days in airtight container.
