Keto Chocolate Easter Bunnies
Jump to...
Introduction
These come out of a candy mold in pastel green, pink and blue, and they take two ingredients and a couple of hours in the freezer. That is the whole recipe.
The basket bunny most of us grew up with was hollow and filled mostly with disappointment. This is the one you make instead — which is enough if you are just feeling nostalgic about the shape, and matters more if you are filling a kid’s Easter basket and would rather the bunny in it were not made of sugar.
Which Chocolate
We used keto-friendly white chocolate for one reason: it takes color. If you want pastel bunnies, that is the one to start from.
If you are not coloring them, ChocZero’s milk chocolate or dark chips use the same basic method. They melt smooth, which is what matters when the whole recipe is melted chocolate.
You Do Need the Mold
There is no working around this one: the bunny shape comes from a candy mold, and how many bunnies you get depends on how big yours is.
If you are coloring them, divide the melted chocolate between bowls before the coloring goes in — one bowl per color.
Make it an oil-based candy coloring rather than the ordinary liquid or gel kind. Melted chocolate and water do not mix: a water-based coloring can seize the whole bowl into a stiff paste, and there is no bringing it back.
Then the mold goes into the freezer for one to two hours to set before serving.

Ingredients
All Ingredients
- ½ cup choczero chocolate chips, white chocolate
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- food coloring, a drop or two per color — oil-based candy coloring, not the water-based kind (optional)
Directions
-
Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl. Heat at 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and the ingredients are combined.
-
-
Pour the chocolate mixture into separate bowls, and mix each with a drop or two of food coloring if desired.
Use an oil-based candy coloring rather than the ordinary liquid or gel kind. Melted chocolate and water do not mix, and a water-based coloring can seize the bowl into a stiff paste.

-
Spoon the chocolate mixture into the candy mold until full, and place the mold in the freezer for 1-2 hours to set before serving.

Notes
You will need an Easter bunny candy mold. How many bunnies you get depends on the size of yours; four is what the mold we use holds.
Keep them cold. The coconut oil that thins the chocolate enough to spoon into the mold is also what makes a finished bunny soften in a warm room, so store them in the refrigerator and bring them out when you are handing them round.
Keeping Them
What sets these is the chocolate cooling, which is what the freezer is doing. The coconut oil thins the melted chocolate enough to spoon into a small mold, and it is also why a finished bunny softens in a warm room sooner than a shop-bought one would. Keep them cold until you are handing them out.
No keeping window is given here.

Correction — October 5, 2026: The coconut oil is not what sets these — the chocolate sets as it cools, and the oil is why they soften in a warm room. The coloring now says to use an oil-based candy coloring, because a water-based one seizes melted chocolate.
