Easter Bunny Cupcakes

     The Easter Bunny needs all the energy he can muster, especially on Easter morning.  It takes a lot of strength to fly around the world delivering candy to everyone's backyard.  That's why he tanks up on his favorite food, Easter Bunny Cupcakes, right before he hits the road...or should I say sky...oh wait, maybe that's only Santa Claus,...I digress.  Each of the 9 Cupcakes are only 194 calories, 28.3g carbs, 2.3g fiber, 21.3g sugar alcohol, 4.7g net carbs, 4.8g protein and 16.1g fat.  If it does all kinds of wonders for this furry creature, imagine what it would do for you, you might not grow a tail, but it's possible you will feel like the Easter Energizer Bunny!
