# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
02 - In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix gently until just combined without overmixing.
05 - Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
06 - Beat softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
07 - Spread the chocolate buttercream evenly over the cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs on top to simulate soil.
08 - Place one large marshmallow on each cupcake as the bunny bottom. Attach a white chocolate chip tail to each marshmallow with a small amount of frosting.
09 - Slice mini marshmallows diagonally to form feet shapes. Use pink decorating gel to add paw details, then adhere two feet to each bunny bottom.
10 - Arrange all decorated cupcakes on a tray to resemble bunnies burrowing into their burrows.
