Turn off oven and leave to cool completely with the door ajar.
Bake for 1hr 30min until firm and the meringue peels cleanly from the parchment. Pipe short carrot tops, roughly 2cm long, overlapping the orange meringue slightly. Starting at the wider top, pipe in a decreasing horizontal zigzag, overlapping the lines slightly, to make triangular-shaped carrots. Spoon the green meringue into another piping bag fitted with a clean 1cm star nozzle. For the carrots, spoon orange meringue into a fresh piping bag fitted with a clean 1cm star nozzle. Working one bunny at a time pipe the ears, using the drawn shapes as a guide, and then pipe the circle, starting in the centre and working your way out in a spiral, making sure ears and circle overlap slightly. For the bunnies, carefully spoon the blue, pink and yellow meringues into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm star nozzle, keeping the colours as separate as possible. Dye each bowl of meringue using food pastes/gels, adding the colouring a small dab at a time, to the desired shade. Divide meringue equally between 5 small bowls. Gradually add caster sugar, a spoonful at a time, whisking to stiff peaks after each addition the mixture should be thick and glossy.
In a large bowl, using a handheld electric whisk, beat egg whites to stiff peaks.Lay a cake pop stick on each shape so just half the stick overlaps the silhouette – you will pipe over these. Leave at least 5cm between the tops of the carrots and the bunny shapes. On the same paper, draw 3 tapered triangles roughly 5cm wide at the top and 4cm in length. Draw 2 curved ears on top of each circle, roughly 4cm long.
I love these wooden sticks because they’re a little more sturdy and also reusable, but you could also use the standard cardboard sticks as well. Draw 3 x 6cm-diameter circles on the parchment, spaced well apart. If you’d like to make your Easter Rice Krispies Treats into bunny pops like we did, be sure to grab some lollipop sticks as you’re shopping for supplies. Line a large baking tray with baking parchment.
