Here at Delish, we love celebrating special occasions with easy-to-make holiday treats, and our Easter bunny twists are no exception. Made with store-bought puff pastry and a quick cinnamon sugar filling, these adorable bunny-shaped pastries will delight everyone at the Easter dessert buffet. Oh, and did we mention the cream cheese frosting bunny tails?

These twists are quick to assemble, but if you want yours to bake up into perfectly shaped Easter bunnies, there are a few key points to keep in mind.

Keep the puff pastry cold. For best results, thaw the pastry in the refrigerator overnight so it’s cold but not still frozen when you’re ready to roll out. Fill and shape the bunnies as quickly as possible, then chill them again before baking.
Use a ruler. It sounds ridiculous, but measuring the puff pastry squares will ensure they’re exactly the same size so they stack neatly on top of each other. A ruler will also help you cut the stacked pastry squares into identically even strips.
Brush the seams with water. The edges of the puff pastry square don’t get buttered or sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, but they still won’t stick together without help. Brushing these edges with cold water will ensure they don’t split apart in the oven, turning your neat bunny ears into weirdly wild tree branches.
Give the twists their space. Puff pastry does, well, puff in the oven, so it’s essential that the twists have room to grow. You should be able to fit 8 shaped twists on a 16"-by-12" sheet pan. If your pan is smaller or you don’t have two pans, bake in batches rather than trying to crowd too many twists together.
Guys, this little Easter treat is so easy to make and turns out so cute! I discovered frozen puff pastry sheets a few months ago when I made the raspberry Nutella puff heart for Valentine’s Day, and it’s fun to play with! It took me a couple of trial runs to figure out how to make these little bunnies out of puff pastry. My kids were hoping for even more attempts since they got to sample each version.
I finally figured out that I could cut the pastry into strips and twist them twice to get a cute little bunny shape. Then I added a dot of frosting for a fluffy white tail and we were in business!
These bunnies are just lightly sweet from the cinnamon sugar, and the puff pastry bakes up nice and flakey. The bite with the frosting tail is the yummiest, so you may want to serve these with a small dish of extra frosting so people can add a little more if they like.
Crumbly and sweet, these Easter Bunny Cinnamon Puff Pastry Twists, are a perfect brunch treat for this holiday. They’re simple to prepare and make an adorable statement for any spread.
Brunch brings up memories of late breezy weekend mornings filled with friends gathering over bottomless drinks and plates full of delicious food. Whether I’m dining out or entertaining at home it’s one of my favorite meals to enjoy.

I find Easter brunch to be one of the brunch main events where you can go all out with no excuse needed.
These Easter bunny sweets are made of puff pastry coated in a buttery cinnamon sugar spread and twisted into a bunny-like shape. Each pastry is topped off with a bit of frosting for a cute tail.

They’re best served slightly warm. With their crispy and croissant-like taste, they make a wonderful and fun addition to any Easter brunch.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED
You’ll only need 5 ingredients to make these adorable Easter bunny cinnamon puff pastry twists. There’s also no need to make your own frosting unless of course, you want to. For this recipe, I purchased the frosting from the baking aisle of the grocery store. I grabbed the frosting tips sitting right next to the tubes as well.
