Bunny Bait

This delicious Bunny Bait snack mix is the perfect Easter and spring time treat! Sweet, a little salty and down right addictive!

 

Fun themed treats for Easter and spring time are always a hit, especially at get togethers. This Bunny Bait is one you can throw together in about 10 minutes, and everyone will go crazy for it. So it is a great last minute addition to your holiday or just to have as a treat throughout the week.

For St. Patrick’s Day we made Leprechaun Bait, so I decided we needed a twist on it for Easter. This has a couple different mix-ins, so it is super versatile to make with whatever you have on hand!

Why You’ll Love This Bunny Bait

• Fast – Ready in about 10 minutes, you can’t get better that for a treat!
• Easy – Super simple to make, just melting chocolate is all it takes!
• Festive – the pastel M&M’s make it perfect for Easter and spring.
• Versatile – mix in whatever you love! Super easy to mix in nuts, dried fruit, different cereal etc. Whatever you like works great.

What You’ll Need

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the FULL PRINTABLE recipe card.

• Chex Cereal – use whatever you like! Corn or Rice Chex are my favorite, but Crispix cereal is a great option as well.
• Cheerios – I use original Cheerios, but Honey Nut is a delicious option.
• Yogurt Covered Pretzels – break into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat
• Peanuts
• Peanut Butter Chips – butterscotch is tasty as well!
• White Almond Bark – or use any white melting chocolate that you have
• Easter/Pastel M&M’s
• Sprinkles – optional but adds festiveness

How To Make Bunny Bait

• Melt – In a microwave safe bowl heat the almond bark or white chocolate for 1 minute. Stir and heat for an additional 20 seconds. Stir until smooth.
• Mix – In a large bowl mix together the Chex cereal, Cheerios, peanuts and half of the M&M’s. Pour over the melted chocolate and mix until everything is well coated.
• Set Up – Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet and sprinkle over the M&M’s, peanut butter chips, yogurt covered pretzels and top with sprinkles. Let mixture set up for 1-2 hours for the chocolate to harden.

Recipe Tips & Variations

• I like to use almond bark or the white chocolate bars that are meant for melting. I think they melt easier and much smoother. Plus almond bark is just more budget friendly when you need a large amount of it.
• Get creative with your mix-ins! I used Chex cereal and Cheerios, but you really can use anything you like. Any variety of Chex cereal, Crispix, Captn’ Crunch, Life cereal, Golden Grahams etc. Whatever you have, whatever flavor you like works great!
• Sweet & Salty is a great combo you can play up even more. Swap the yogurt pretzels for normal pretzels for a little more of the salty twist.

Storing Bunny Bait

This will last for about a week if you store it in an airtight container. No need to refrigerate, just store at room temperature.

Freezing – this is one of those that does hold up to the freezer. You can store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
