So if you're ready to learn, here's how you can create them.

Next, melt the black chocolate. Dip the bunny at an angle on both sides to form a v shape.
Take the piping bag or Ziploc bag and fill it with a little bit of black chocolate and cut a very small hole on the side of the bag. Begin piping a button and bow tie to the bunny. Let them harden.
