Making the Bunny Butt 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

Can I Make this Dip Ahead of Time?
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 freshStoring:
Store bread pieces covered at room temperature Store vegetables covered and in the refrigerator Store dip covered and in the refrigerator for up to 2 days Leftovers - The bread bowl unfortunately will get soggy after the dip has been placed inside for a long period of time. I would scoop the dip out and store it in a container in the refrigeratorNutrition
