Using Dollar Tree foam bunnies I painted them with acrylic paint in Beachcomber Beige and Real Brown by Apple Barrel.
Both of the shades I used were glossy finish because I wanted them the bunnies to look like real chocolate. If you can't find the colors that you like in a gloss finish, just go over them with glossy Mod Podge after the paint had dried. Also, it's important not to use spray paint here. Spray paint has an additive that will cause foam to disintegrate, and your bunnies will be ruined!
Here are the white and dark chocolate bunnies, all nice and shiny!
I then used puffy paint to detail the ears and eyes.
After that it was as simple as grouping them into a jar with a bit of basket filler grass at the bottom. I chose to keep mine as chocolate candies, but you could also insert a stick and make lollipops if you wanted.
