In the center of a large serving platter or 16-in. x 12-in. baking sheet covered with freezer paper, layer green apples in an 8-in. circle to make bunny's head.

For eyes, place kiwi slices on top half of head about 1 in. apart.

For each ear, place two whole bananas together with only tips touching. Place red apples in center of ears with peel showing.

For bow tie, form a 3-in. circle with oranges centered under head and two 4-in. triangles on each side of circle. Place grapes on oranges to make polka dots.

Just before serving cut licorice into seven 3-in. strips and seven 1-1/2-in. strips. place three 3-in. strips on each side of cherry for whiskers. Bend the remaining 3-in. strip into a semicircle and place 1-1/2 in. below nose for mouth. Connect nose to mouth with one 1-1/2-in. strip. For eyelashes, place three 1-1/2-in. strip. For eyelashes, place three 1-1/2-in. strips above each eye. Carefully slice bananas into 1-in. chunks.
