Ingredients

  • 2 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cups Cheerios
  • 2 cups "Itty Bitty" mini pretzel twists
  • 2 cups butter popcorn popped
  • 20 oz white almond bark or vanilla flavored melting wafers*
  • 10 oz 1 1/2 cups Easter colored M&Ms
  • 2 tablespoons pastel colored or Easter sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzels, and popcorn.
  • Melt the almond bark in the microwave per the package instructions or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water on the stovetop. Stir frequently until the candy coating is completely melted and smooth.
  • Pour the melted almond bark over the cereal mixture. Stir the mixture with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until all the ingredients are evenly coated in the almond bark.
  • Pour the mixture onto the paper lined cookie sheet and spread it into a thin and even layer. Sprinkle on the M&Ms and sprinkles.
  • Move the baking sheet to the fridge and chill for 10-15 minutes until the candy coating is set. Once the mix has hardened, break the bunny bait into chunks and serve.

Notes

*You can use white chocolate chips if that's what you have on hand! Melt slowly over a double boiler to prevent burning.
