Fondued bunnies...

Hi y'all! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Our's was good but low-key. It's the first time, since my daughter's divorce, that we didn't have the older grands for Easter & it was a bit of an adjustment. Thank goodness Noah is old enough to hunt eggs. ;o) Because of my back & shoulder problems, we agreed to let my son & his wife host Easter so I don't have pics of the Easter table to share (we kept it really simple & ordered pizza for everybody) but so many of you commented on my last post about the fondued chocolate bunnies we did one year, that I thought I'd share pics of that table w/ y'all.

As I mentioned in my previous post, one year (was '07) I used real chocolate bunnies in my Easter decor & then fondued them after Easter. Here's how they looked adorning my mantel. I jazzed them up some w/ some pearl chokers, rhinestone button eyes & butterfly pins.

The one on the left is real, the one on the right is faux.

Another real chocolate bunny. Wish I had taken close-ups so you could see how cute the jeweled details are but my photography skills were really, really bad then & my camera wasn't much better.

And here's our chocolate dinner we had after the holiday. We stuck w/ the theme for the whole dinner & had Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter and Bittersweet Chocolate w/ chocolate martinis & I can't remember what all else. I remember the martinis & the ravioli though because they were both excellent...try the recipe!

I used a pink satin bedspread as a tablecloth & ran a velvet, chocolate brown runner down teh center (to be honest, it's placemats disguised as a runner...I'll employ just about anything that has the right colors).

LOVE the vintage sheet music cover I framed...most of my covers are older but this one is from teh 50's.

This poor bunny is fixin' to be dessert...he even looks wild eyed & frightened, doesn't he? LOL Of course we removed the rhinestone eyes before melting him though.

For dipping, we served angel food bits, strawberrys, marshmallows & orange slices...was a fun, delicious table theme!

It just occured to me that I didn't host Easter last year either. I certainly hope my kids don't think a precedent as been set! Cause we're back to the elaborate dinner w/ the fou'ed fou'ed up table next year y'all!!!!
