Bunny With a Mango Belly

#thc #healthykidstiffinboxrecipe #post 1 Legend says, the Easter bunny, brought baskets filled with coloured eggs, candy, and sometimes toys to the bones of children on the night before Easter, in much the same way as Santa Claus is said to deliver presents on Christmas Eve. Who wouldn’t want to partake of thick juicy mango pulp from a cut bunny bowl you would think? I served it to my grandson and he was so thrilled that next day he asked me to pack it in his tiffin as he wanted to show off to his friends. Kids are fussy with food and if you give them in different shapes they like to try it out. Bunny With a Mango Belly

Ingredient

regular sized bun

mini bun bowl

toothpicks

regular chocolate chips

1 cup

fresh mango pulp

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Cut the bread bowl so that you remove a small top section of the roll in a U shape. Leave a ledge for the smaller roll to sit on.If you do not have a small bun, then take a round cutter and make a small round in a big bun and keep aside. Dig out the insides of the bread. Make a ball of it for the Bunny’s tail.

* Step 2

Take the top of the bread bowl you removed and cut out 2 ears. You can trim the inside of the bunny ears so they are flatter. Take the knife and slice a small hole where you want the nose. Push the round or triangular piece of strawberry wafers as a nose in the bread. Poke a tiny hole for the eyes and then gently place the chocolate chip eyes in place. Take the round bunny head and place it on top of the bread bowl ledge and secure it in place with three toothpicks.

* Step 3

Slide the other two toothpicks into the bottom of the ears and then place them in the top of the roll for the bunny’s ears.Take a small piece of the bread you removed from inside the bowl and roll it into a ball and use it as the bunny’s tail.I didn’t have fresh coriander so I took some garden greens and laid it down on the plate to serve as some “Easter Grass” to add to the fun and festive look! And I added an extra bit of love to the bunny with a carrot heart and a coriander leaf.

* Step 4

Note:These can be made in advance as long as they are stored in an airtight container. Fill the bowl with mango juice or any soup of your choice. My grandson has a sweet tooth so I filled it with thick mango pulp which he could eat with a spoon. You could fill the bowl with your favourite veggie dip or hummus and add this to your veggie tray or biscuits on your table. Be innovative and come out with your own ideas.
