"Bunny Bait" Snack Mix

 

This is the ultimate Easter treat! It’s sweet, crunchy, colorful, and festive. This is so much fun to make with kids (or on your own!) and is the perfect addition to Easter baskets! What I really love about these mixes is that you can completely customize it! You can add as much or as little of an ingredient as you want, or you can omit a certain ingredient, or swap one out. What’s really convenient about this mix is that you only have to make one ingredient – the Muddy Buddies – and don’t worry, they’re fool proof! Aside from the muddy Buddies you can literally just toss all the other ingredients into a bowl, gently toss to combine, and serve! That’s it! You can store the Bunny Bait in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. 

Ingredients:

 

White Chocolate Muddy Buddies:

5 cups Rice Chex Cereal

12oz White Chocolate Chips

12oz Powdered Sugar

Pastel colored sprinkles (any kind you like)

 

Add-ins:

16oz Planter’s Honey Roasted Peanuts

(2) 10 oz bags Pastel colored M & M’s

6 oz bag Boom Chicka Pop Kettle Corn 

7.5 oz box Annie’s Birthday Cake Bunny Grahams

 

Instructions:

 

1. Line a sheet pan with parchment and set aside. Place the Chex into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Over a double boiler melt the white chocolate. 

 
2. Once melted, pour the chocolate a little at a time over the Chex mix. Very gently mix the Chex mix, adding more chocolate until all is used and the Chex mix is coated evenly. 
 
3. Working quickly, evenly pour the sprinkles over the Chex and gently stir to coat the Chex completely. You can pour as little or as many sprinkles as you like. 
 
4. In the mixing bowl, or in a Ziploc bag, cover the Chex with powdered sugar a little at a time, tossing to coat
 
5. Using a slotted spoon or a “spider” style strainer, scoop the Chex mix out and gently shake to remove excess sugar. Transfer the Chex to the sheet pan and allow the muddy buddies to air dry for a few hours. 
 
6. Toss the remaining ingredients for the mix together and once dried and set, add the Muddy Buddies and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or transfer to individual treat bags, or an airtight container and store at room temperature for 2-3 days.
