Bunny Bait Recipe
This Bunny Bait recipe is a fun and easy dessert for an Easter celebration! Loaded with crunchy cereal, almonds, pretzels, and coated with melted chocolate, Easter candy, mini marshmallows and fun sprinkles.
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups pretzels
- 2 cup regular Cheerios
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 11 ounce bag white chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract optional
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Mini Cadbury Eggs or any favorite Easter candy
- pastel or Easter themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Place Chex cereal, pretzels, Cheerios, almonds, in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine white chocolate and almond extract and melt in the microwave until smooth and stir. I like to heat the microwave in 20 second intervals to ensure the chocolate doesn't overheat.
- Pour white chocolate over cereal mixture and gently fold until coated. (If you want to make half of your mixture pink, save half of the melted chocolate and add about 3 drops of food coloring. Mix until light pink, then mix in cereal).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Pour the coated cereal and spread with a spatula. Sprinkle the top with mini marshmallows, candy eggs, and sprinkles.
- Let set together for 15-20 minutes so the cereal has time to set- some will clump together and that's perfect. Gently together and enjoy!
Notes
- This snack mix will last for up to 1-2 weeks when stored in an airtight container or large ziplock bag in a cool area (the kitchen counter is a perfect place!).
