NIGHT OF THE LEPUS Makes 12 truffles
TRUFFLE INGREDIENTS: • 16 vanilla sandwich cookies, finely crushed • 3 oz. cream cheese, softened • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon • 1/8 teaspoon ginger • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg • 10 oz. white chocolate
BLOODY SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE: • Salted caramel ice cream topping • Red gel food colouring
ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES: • Bunny-shaped silicone mould • Red candy melts
BLOODTHIRSTY BUNNY TRUFFLES
1. Finely crush the vanilla sandwich cookies using a food processor.
2. Using a mixer, blend together the cookie crumbs, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and spices until combined. Chill until ready to use.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the salted caramel ice cream topping and a drop of red gel food colouring.
4. Temper the white chocolate, and coat the insides of the silicone mould. Chill until set, and repeat for 2 to 3 layers until a thin, uniform shell has formed. Spoon a small amount of the bloody caramel sauce into the bottom of each mould, and then top with the truffle mixture, leaving 1.8” space from the top.
5. Seal the truffles with the remaining tempered white chocolate and chill until fully set.
6. Once fully chilled, gently remove from the moulds and add “blood spatters” on the mouth of each bunny truffle with melted red candy melts.

N 1972’S NIGHT OF THE LEPUS, a hor- mone experiment gone awry causes cuddly rabbits to produce oversized, blood- thirsty spawn, wreaking havoc on an old Southwestern town. Using a combination of real rabbits in miniature models, gratuitous closeups of bunny teeth, and actors in corny rabbit suits, the mutant bunnies end up being more hilarious than scary.
Try these delicious bloodthirsty bunny truf- fles – a sweet and sinister addition to your Easter holiday. Hide them instead of eggs!
