When you put the cookies in the oven they are round balls but as they bake they flaten the way they are in the picture. The are a little rounded on top.

You could use "Rolo's" as the chewy caramel.

I think omething is missing here in the directions. Step 1 says to make cookie balls, is that for the head of the bunny? Because the picture doesn't look like the cookies are balls, right?

I think round chewy carmels come in different flavors.. Is this using the milk chocolate flavor?

Suggested to my kids that we make these. Shrieks of laughter at making "roadkill rabbits" for Easter. It's wonderful to see them so happy. And we WON'T be making these labor intensive cookies!
