    This Pop Tart bunny house is perfect for spring! A fun centerpiece that kids can make using their favorite Easter candies. 

    You might also like our other Pop Tart house variations:  Pop Tart leprechaun house,  Pop Tart gingerbread house, or our Pop Tart haunted house!  Looking for another sweet Easter dessert? Here is a bunny cake that is easy for kids to help bake!

    We had so much fun in the fall making our Pop Tart haunted houses and Pop Tart gingerbread houses that I doubt it comes as any surprise that we’re back with an Easter version. The kids and I made sugar cookie bunny huts (houses) years ago and these look JUST LIKE THEM only in Pop Tart form. Pop Tarts are easy to work with, hold together beautifully, and come in so many fun flavor combinations! Pop Tarts are a lot easier to work with than graham crackers. Give them a try and you'll see!

    We don't eat our Pop Tart houses, but many people do, so find a flavor that you love and go from there! I wanted something pink so I used Strawberry Milkshake Pop Tarts. Did you even know those existed? The color is perfect for spring!

    Best Icing For Pop Tart Houses

    I like making a simple royal icing out of powdered sugar and water. It dries hard and works well. Here is my recipe:

    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 2-3 teaspoons water
    1. Mix sugar and water together until it reaches the consistency of craft glue. You don’t want it to be too runny.
    2. Spoon it into a baggie and cut off the corner of the baggie using a pair of scissors (you can also use a frosting piping bag).

    Note: You can also use a store-bought tub of vanilla icing/frosting. Works great, too!

    How To Assemble a Pop Tart Bunny House

    1. Squeeze icing onto 4 Pop Tarts and gently press them together to create the 4 walls  (you can also add icing to the bottom of each pop tart to better secure the bottom of the house to your plate/platter if you'd like).
    2. Then add more icing around the top edge and add a 5th Pop Tart for a roof.
    3. Let the whole house dry for 30 minutes before decorating.

    Note: You'll notice that we didn't cut our Pop Tarts with a sharp knife like we did for the haunted house and gingerbread version. Since we were going for more of a bunny hut theme this was easy and worked great. You can totally make an angled roof though by following our tutorial.

    Bunny House Candies

    I found so many fun Easter candies at Target and Walmart. This divided tray works great for making several houses at a time. I use it during every holiday season. Place it in the center of the table and cover it with the lid when you are done! I'm not a huge fan of Peeps, but bought some for my kids to use if they wanted. While I don't care for the flavor, they are very cute and a Peeps house is so festive for Easter!

    Use the rest of the royal icing in a baggie to decorate the house.

    More edible candy and decoration ideas: edible grass, jelly beans, mini marshmallows, bunny graham crackers, Peeps chicks, fruit snacks, Cadbury Mini Eggs, Necco Wafers, white chocolate chips, etc.

    Tip: To add heavier candies to the trim (see M&Ms in photo), add a bead of royal icing to the house and let it sit for a couple of minutes before adding candy. This allows the icing to begin to get tacky. Add the candy, then adjust as necessary if you see any drooping. The icing will harden and hold everything after 10 minutes or so.

    And just for kicks, here are our old school bunny houses that the kids made in in 2010 using square sugar cookies! 🙂 We used Easter grass as a decoration, but colored coconut or edible grass would have been cute!

    Ingredients

    • Easter candy, jelly beans, Easter peeps
    • sprinkles if desired

    • Let houses stand AT LEAST 30 minutes before decorating. If making these with kids, assemble the houses an hour or so ahead of time so that they are nice and sturdy.
    • Dip decorations into icing or pipe icing onto houses to decorate.

    Notes

    • Icing should be the consistency of craft glue.
    • To add heavier candies to the houses, like M&Ms, add a line of icing to the house and let the icing stand for a couple of minutes before placing the candy on it. This will allow the icing to dry a little and become tacky. 
    • You may need to hold the candy in place, or readjust the candy that starts to move as you wait for the icing to dry.
