When it comes to Pillsbury ready made doughs, the possibilities for using them in bentos are endless. I made these bears and bunnies using Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits. To make them, flatten out a biscuit and spoon some of the filling into the center. Bring the edges to the center and crimp together. Roll gently into a ball and place the crimped side down on your prepared pan. I used a silpat, but parchment paper works just as well. From another biscuit take small pieces to roll into balls (for the bears) or oblong (for the bunnies) shapes for the ears. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 12 minutes until golden.
The filling contains rotisserie chicken, sun dried tomatoes, Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
Bears and bunnies before baking.
After baking and cooling, I stuck in jeweled picks for the bunnies’ noses and hat picks for the bear’s noses. If you don’t have picks, just use raisins, a chocolate chips, or something similar for the noses. Then I used the 1/2 inch sized sugar eyes and attached them with a tiny dab of peanut butter.
Darling! I cannot wait to get home and try some of these biscuit creations!
Thank you Shannon!
You’re on a roll with the Pillsbury dough!
Those bunnies and bears look so wide-awake it’s hilarious!
I wanna see you sculpt a rock star next….
Thanks Sheri! LOL, a rock star is way outta my league!
I’ve seen some amazing artisan bread creations that are pretty cool. 
I love this! Again, the Pillsbury thing. So far no luck in our local grocery stores. Might try another city but there are no Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits to be found here! The filling in this one is amazing.. These are almost too cute to bite into…
Thanks Chantal!
Do you guys have any kind of ready made dough? Even frozen bread or pizza dough would work, just need to adjust a little on the cooking times.
You make me want to bake! And I have a fear of dough! LOL
Super-duper ideas and so cute too!
Thanks Debra! I have a fear of baking in general but the ready made dough makes it a snap.

I love this one! So cute yet soooo yummy. Just because it’s ‘convenient’ doesn’t mean it have to look flat and round!
Thanks mils!
I have come to find out that ready made doughs are my best friend! 
Really love all these biscuit ideas! So cute. And, the hidden surprise is great.
Thanks Kit!
what a great idea to add ears to them! Next time I make my pizza manapua I’ll definitely try adding the ears!
oh…and I know you mentioned it in previous post…but where did you get the eyes from again?
Yay, I can’t wait to see how they turn out!
I’ll post today on where you can buy the eyes.
Super cute and a great way to use convenience foods in an unconventional way.
Thanks so much Sonoma bento.

Hi Kelly! Thanks so much for your kind and sweet comments. Your bears turned out absolutely perfect!
can you make these the night before and reheat?? or just pack cold ?
Yes, you can make them beforehand and they taste great reheated in a toaster type oven. Hope that helps.
