18 - 1/2 cup chocolate cookie crumbs (for dirt)
19 - 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips (for bunny tails)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
02 - In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Stir until just incorporated.
04 - Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
05 - Beat softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla, and milk. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
06 - Spread chocolate buttercream over cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle with chocolate cookie crumbs to mimic soil.
07 - Place a large marshmallow on each cupcake as the bunny bottom. Affix a white chocolate chip as the tail using a small amount of frosting.
08 - Slice mini marshmallows diagonally to form feet shapes. Use pink decorating gel to draw paw details. Attach two feet to each bunny bottom.
09 - Position all decorated cupcakes on a tray to resemble bunnies peeking from their burrows.
