Run-Away Rabbit Racecar Snack Cakes

Of all my recipes for Easter treats for kids, this one is probably my favorite. Why? Because they're even more fun to put together than they are to eat! If your kids are old enough, they can do the whole thing themselves. Got younger ones? They'll have a blast helping out.

There's also no cooking involved... it's all about assembling and decorating these adorable little Rabbit Racecars.

The ingredients list below is more of a suggestion than a real requirement. Get creative with the elements of your racecars, and have fun with it!

Ingredients (some or all of the following):
Swiss Roll Snack Cakes or Twinkies (for the car)
Marshmallow Bunny Peeps (the drivers!)
Gummy Life Savers or Sour Rings (wheels and steering wheels)
Mini sandwich cookies (wheels)
M&M's, Sprees, or Sweet Tarts (headlights)
Pez (license plates)
Halved gummy rings or cookies (seat back)
Chocolate or Vanilla Frosting (for the glue)

Instructions: 1. Get all your candies unwrapped and cover a flat surface with waxed paper to work on.

2. Place your frosting in a decorator's bag, or into a ziplock bag with just the very tip cut away so you can pipe out a small amount.

3. In the bottom of each bunny Peep, slice a small V so he'll sit up on the car without tipping over.

4. Using frosting as glue, stick the Peeps, wheels, seat backs, steering wheel, headlights, etc., where they should go on the car. Get creative!

5. Get lots of "little mechanics" to help put together these fun Easter treats for kids-- it's a lot of fun!
