1. 1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Bunny Dip: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Form this mixture into an oval shape on your serving board to create the “bunny’s head.” You can use a small spatula or your hands to gently mold it.

2. 2. Bake the Puff Pastry Bunny Ears: Preheat your oven to 400 F (200 C). Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Using a knife or a small bunny ear-shaped cookie cutter, cut out two ear shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the ears with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Let them cool slightly.

3. 3. Arrange the Cheeses: Around the cream cheese bunny head, artfully arrange your sliced or cubed cheddar, Colby Jack, and provolone cheeses. You can stack them, fan them out, or create small piles. The goal is to create a varied landscape of textures and colors.

4. 4. Add the Fruits: Place the green grapes, red grapes, halved strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries around the cheeses. Try to distribute the colors evenly for a vibrant look. You can create small clusters or trails of fruit.

5. 5. Incorporate the Vegetables and Dippers: Arrange the carrot sticks and cucumber slices near the cream cheese dip, making them easy to grab. Scatter the pretzel sticks, mini rice crackers, and pita chips in various spots on the board, ensuring there are plenty of options for dipping and scooping.

6. 6. Assemble the Bunny: Once the puff pastry ears have cooled, gently insert them into the top of the cream cheese “bunny head” to complete your bunny shape. You can use a small piece of carrot or a blueberry for the bunny’s eye and a small piece of strawberry or a raspberry for the nose.

7. 7. Garnish and Serve: Tuck fresh dill or parsley sprigs into any empty spaces on the board for a pop of green and a fresh aroma. Present your beautiful Easter Bunny Snack Board immediately for everyone to enjoy.
