Easter Bunny Spinach Dip
This Bunny Butt Shaped Bread Bowl is perfect for your Easter Celebration. It’s so cute on the holiday table.
This Spinach Dip Appetizer tastes great with sliced bread, crackers, and vegetables for dipping.
Spinach dip reminds me of the type of appetizer that I grew up with. My mom always hosted holidays and family potlucks, so I was lucky enough to have a variety of home-cooked appetizers like this delicious Taco Dip, a Cream Cheese Fruit Dip, or this recipe for a Hot Pizza Dip Appetizer
Of course, Easter isn’t complete with some type of deviled egg, like this Creamy Dijon Deviled egg, or this Spicy Jalapeno Deviled Egg

Make Ahead and Storage
Yes. You can make spinach dip a couple of days in advance. In fact, the spinach dip needs a couple of hours of refrigeration for the best results. Store in a closed container in the refrigerator.
If you are placing the dip into a bread bowl, I would wait to cut the bread bowl just before serving so your bread is nice and fresh
Sliced bread, carrots, cucumber, and bell pepper are great options. Crackers are another great side to dip into spinach dip.
Here’s What You’ll Need to Make this Bunny Butt Spinach Dip
Ingredients
- Frozen spinach dip – This will need to be thawed
- Vegetable Dip Mix – You can generally find this mix in the soup aisle. Lipton and Knorr both make it, and you can probably find a generic version, as well
- sour cream – use the original full-fat version for this dip to get the creamy texture you want
- mayonnaise – don’t worry, you won’t taste the flavor of mayo in your dip. The veggie mix will be the star of this dip
- chives – this is optional, but I believe it adds a great flavor
- water chestnuts – you can omit this, but it does provide a fun crunch
- bread bowl – I used a sourdough bread bowl, but you can usually find some Hawaiin Sweet Bread Bowls near the deli
- mini cucumbers
- mini carrots
How to make this Spinach Dip Easter Appetizer
- Thaw and drain the spinach until all the juice is squeezed out

To Assemble the bunny butt bread bowl
- Use a long serrated knife to cut the top off of the bread bowl
- Scoop out the bread inside the bowl, making a cavity to place the dip into
- Use kitchen shears to cut a bunny tail from some of the bread you just pulled out
- Using the top that you cut off of the bread bowl, shape 2 bunny feet
- Slice cucumbers and mini carrots to make the paw print
- Using a toothpick, insert the bunny tail into the top of the bread bowl
- Place the feet on either side of the tail, with the white bread turned outward
- Using sour cream or some of the dip as glue, place your cucumber and carrot slices onto the feet to resemble a bunny foot
