Wow! Doesn’t time fly. Easter comes round so fast! These Easter Bunny Biscuits are just so cute! My little nephew and niece smile whenever they see these at the table! Even my teens still love them! It’s that special combination of cinnamon they love with the currants. Now these Easter Bunny Biscuits don’t have to be bunnies. They could be Cinnamon and currant biscuits cut out in flowers, love hearts, easter egg shapes – use whatever cutters you have! But as it is Easter, it would be great if they are Easter themed!
