How to Make the Easter Bunny Cheese Ball

Make the Cheese Ball Mixture

When ready to serve, coat the cheeseball  mixtures in the shredded mozzarella cheese and transfer to your serving platter.

To decorate the bunny head

Cut two triangles the size of the ears out of the yellow bell pepper, then cut the remaining pepper in thin strips. Place the ear pieces on the ears of the cheese ball, then place the strips at the bottom to form the whiskers.

 

Cut the cherry tomato in half and place one half on top of the whiskers to make the bunny’s nose. Cut the black olive in half and place them in the center to make the bunny’s eyes.
