Our Thermomix Chocolate Bunny Cupcakes are the cutest Easter treat!
As soon as I spot Malteaster Bunnies in the shops I just can’t help myself and have to buy them! They are seriously my FAVOURITE Easter chocolate, most likely this is because I’m also a HUGE fan of Maltesers too!!
These Thermomix Chocolate Bunny Cupcakes combine my love of Malteaster bunnies with our favourite Chocolate Cupcake recipe and the result is something really cute and delicious. These cupcakes make a great Easter activity for the kids (just make sure they don’t try to eat all of the Malteaster bunnies like mine do!) and they are just perfect for your Easter celebrations.
Our Tips for making our Thermomix Chocolate Bunny Cupcakes include:
- The time it takes to grate the chocolate/melt the butter can vary depending on the temperature of your ingredients.
- We used a pack of mini Malteaster Bunnies for this recipe, however you can also use the larger ones which are sold individually as well.
- You can use either milk or dark chocolate for the frosting.
- The chocolate cupcakes can be frozen before they are iced and decorate.

Recipe Notes
These Cupcakes are best stored in an airtight container in a cool place.
You can freeze the un-iced cupcakes for up to 4 weeks.
The time it takes to grate your chocolate will depend on the temperature, chocolate which has been stored in the fridge will take longer to grate.
You can use either dark or milk chocolate for the chocolate frosting.
Enjoy!
