Why I Love This Bunny Butt Cookie Dip
There are so many reasons this recipe has become an Easter favorite in my house:

  • It’s a no-bake recipe that comes together in minutes.
  • The flavor is sweet, creamy, and perfectly balanced with vanilla and a hint of tang.
  • The cute bunny butt design is always a conversation starter and gets everyone excited to dig in.
  • It pairs perfectly with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, animal crackers, and fresh fruit.
  • You can make it ahead of time for stress-free entertaining.

Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 10-12 | Prep Time: 10 minutes)

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for added sweetness and texture)

For decoration and dipping:

  • Large marshmallows (for the bunny feet and tail)
  • Pink candy melts or pink frosting (for bunny paw details)
  • Assorted cookies (vanilla wafers, graham crackers, shortbread cookies)
  • Pretzels and fresh fruit slices for extra variety

How I Make Bunny Butt Cookie Dip (Step-by-Step)

  1. Beat the Cream Cheese and Butter
    In a large mixing bowl, I beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy. This step makes sure the dip is creamy and lump-free.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Flavor
    I mix in the powdered sugar, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract. I continue to beat until everything is smooth, light, and fluffy. If I’m in the mood for a little texture, I fold in white chocolate chips at the end.
  3. Chill the Dip
    I cover the bowl and let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors come together and gives the dip a thicker consistency that’s perfect for shaping and serving.
  4. Shape the Bunny Butt
    Once chilled, I spoon the dip onto a serving platter and shape it into a round bunny butt. I use large marshmallows for the bunny feet and tail — one for the tail and two flattened marshmallows for the feet.
  5. Decorate
    I use pink candy melts or a little pink frosting to pipe on the paw prints and pads on the marshmallow feet. It’s a small touch that makes the whole presentation so fun.
  6. Serve with Dippers
    I surround the bunny butt dip with an assortment of cookies, pretzels, and fresh fruit slices. Then I step back and watch everyone smile as they dig in!

My Tips for the Best Bunny Butt Cookie Dip

  • Make sure your cream cheese and butter are fully softened for a smooth, creamy dip.
  • Chill the dip before shaping — it holds together better and is easier to work with.
  • Don’t skip the marshmallow fluff; it gives the dip its signature sweetness and fluffiness.
  • Get creative with the dippers! I like to include graham crackers, strawberries, and shortbread cookies for a nice variety of flavors and textures.

Fun Variations I’ve Tried

  • Swirling in a little raspberry jam for a fruity twist.
  • Adding crushed Oreos for a cookies-and-cream version.
  • Using almond extract instead of vanilla for a different flavor profile.
  • Drizzling melted chocolate over the top just before serving for an extra treat.

What I Serve with Bunny Butt Cookie Dip

  • Graham crackers and vanilla wafers are my go-to dippers.
  • Pretzels add a nice salty contrast to the sweet dip.
  • Fresh strawberries and apple slices make it feel a little lighter and add a fresh, juicy bite.
  • On a dessert table with mini cupcakes, pastel candies, and lemon bars for the ultimate spring spread.
