Bunny Butt Cheese Ball Cookie Dip is the cutest way to celebrate Easter! This no-bake sweet treat is made in minutes using cream cheese, Funfetti cake mix, sprinkles, white chocolate, and pink M&Ms.
Bunny Butt Cheese Ball Dessert Dip
Our adorable Bunny Butt Cheesecake Cheese Ball Cookie Dip is a quick and easy no bake Easter dessert spread that turns a traditional savory cream cheese ball into the cutest sweet treat.
This Easter dip is a simple combination of cream cheese, cake mix, vanilla, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles, separated into 3 sizes, rolled into balls, and formed into one large bunny butt with a tail and two feet.
Each cream cheese ball is rolled in shaved white chocolate to look like fluffy fur and then assembled as one big “booty,” a tail, and feet with pink M&M pads.
Surround your Easter bunny butt with an assortment of sweet and savory dipping snacks and serve it as a fun appetizer or dessert cheese ball dip, although no one will know if you eat it straight from the spoon!

Tips For Making Bunny Butt Cookie Dip
- I like to assemble the bunny butt right on the serving platter so that I won’t have to move it.
- Cover your dip with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator if you are not serving right away.
- You can use toothpicks to hold the tail and feet in place if they are not sticking to the body.
How to Heat Treat Cake Mix
When consuming raw cake mix it is always important to heat treat the flour. I highly recommend heat treating the cake mix prior to mixing it in the dip to properly kill any chance of bacteria. Please do not skip this step!
To heat treat the cake mix in the microwave, heat the cake mix in a microwave safe bowl for (2) 30-second intervals stirring in between. Allow the cake mix to come to room temperature before using.
To heat treat the cake mix in the oven, place cake mix on a large cookie sheet prepared with parchment paper. Evenly spread your cake mix out to cover the entire sheet. Cook cake mix at 350 degrees for 5 minutes and allow it to come to room temperature before use.
How to Store Bunny Butt Cookie Dip
- To Store: You can store the cheese ball covered in your refrigerator for a few days.
