Notes
CUPCAKES: We like using vanilla cupcakes, but whatever type you like is fine for the recipe.
CANDY: You can use whatever type of candy for the inside. Chocolate, M&Ms, or jelly beans work well.
STORAGE: Unless you are eating them right away, keep your cute bunny cupcakes refrigerated until ready to serve. Refrigerate any leftovers for 3-5 days.
