Cinnamon Sugar Crescent Roll Bunnies

This cinnamon sugar crescent roll bunny recipe is perfect to make with your kids to get them involved in Easter celebrations. These baked pull-apart bunnies are prepped in 10 minutes and baked in 12 minutes. They are finished and ready to eat in 30 minutes flat. You can take them to an Easter celebration or serve them for dessert after a special dinner. 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into two rectangles.

Pinch the seams together and lightly roll out the dough.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Brush the dough with butter.

Sprinkle the half the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the dough.

Lightly press the sugar into the dough with your hand.

Use a knife to cut the rectangle into three long strips.

To make the bunny shape, fold one strip in half lengthwise, then bend the strip at the middle.

Twist the two pieces together from the bend, halfway up the length of the strip.

Flatten the remaining pieces and pinch the ends together to form a point to make the bunny ears.

Continue twisting each strip of dough and place the crescent roll bunnies on the lined baking sheet.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the dough is lightly browned.

Immediately after removing the bunnies from the oven, press a marshmallow into the bottom of the twist for the bunny’s tail.

How to serve:

Serve these cinnamon sugar crescent roll bunnies with vanilla ice cream or other desserts like Cherry Cheesecake Poke Cake, Lemon Pudding Pie, No Bake Vanilla Pudding Pie, or Cherry Cheesecake Crescent Roll.  

How to store:

Save any leftover bunnies in an airtight container on the counter for up to three days. You can reheat them in the microwave, oven, or air fryer. Use the oven or air fryer to make them crispier. If you use the microwave, they’ll be softer and become hard if you let them cool down. 

You can also save them in a freezer bag in the freezer for up to three months. Be sure to label them with the name and date so you remember what you’ve saved when you pull them out later.

Can I make crescent rolls cinnamon sugar pizza? 

If you’d rather make these crescent rolls into a pizza, you definitely can. Sprinkle marshmallows over the top if you still want to use them in this dessert.
