DIY Easter Bunny Push-up Pops Party Centerpiece

As always, I love finding novel ways to use party printables, and   this is how these little Easter  B unny Push-up Pops came about. I had some  printable bunny cupcake wrappers left from my  Easter Kids' Egg Hunt Party photo shoot, and couldn't bear to throw them out, so I got my trusty puncher out and few supplies, and voila - Easy and super quick Easter Push-Pop Centerpiece that doubles as party favors holder. Life doesn't get sweet that that for a party nerd like me! :)

Recipe | Easter Chocolate Mousse in Chocolate Egg Shells

I recently saw  a recipe on Pinterest   with a dessert served inside an egg shell. Well, my being to total chocoholic that I am, I thought to myself  " wouldn't it be great if the shells were made of chocolate too?! " - 'Cause it's a know fact there's NO such thing as "too much chocolate"!  So I set off on a culinary experiment to make it as easy as possible to serve my chocolate mousse inside chocolate egg shells  - BUT without the fuss of making the shells from scratch! ;)

These Plush Flowers, believe it or not; are  made from paper napkins and super quick to make too! They are a variation on my plush fabric flowers that I shared here . Don't they just look so cute?!

I really wanted to use pastel colored plush flowers, but did not have the time nor disposition to get out my sewing kit, and wondered if the technique would work with paper. Well, it did - Just proves again how necessity (or laziness) really is the mother of all invention! ;) Get the full step-by-step below...
