Instructions
Preheat oven to 350
Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
Spray nonstick cooking spray into donut pan.
Sprinkle a portion of M&M'S® Milk Chocolate and M&M'S® White Chocolate into the batter, reserving the remainder for the additional donuts to bake if applicable.
Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven and place donuts on a cooling rack.
While cake donuts are cooling, arrange bunnies.
Bunny Assembly:
Take the pink Starburst® Jelly Beans, secure one to a small marshmallow, using frosting as the "glue." Repeat for 24 mini marshmallows
With the 12 remaining mini marshmallows, spread a thin layer of frosting on them, and dip into white coconut flakes to create a "fuzzy" bunny tail.
Then secure the "bunny tails" to the large marshmallows. Set "bunnies" aside.
Tint the remaining coconut and frosting with the green food coloring.
Donut Assembly:
Once donuts have cooled, spread green frosting on top of each donut. (Leaving a little to use to secure the bunny feet to the donut.)
Sprinkle green coconut on top of the frosting, gently pressing down to secure the "grass."
Using a dab of frosting, secure the bunny "feet" to the grass.
Place large marshmallow/bunny tail in the hole of the donut.
