Ingredients
Scale
Base Mix
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups mini pretzel twists
Chocolate Coating
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla or white chocolate baking chips
Add-ins and Toppings
- 2 cups pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates
- 1/2 cup pastel marshmallows or mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup Easter sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prepare for spreading the mix later.
- Combine base ingredients: Place the Rice Chex cereal and mini pretzel twists in a large heat-safe bowl and gently toss to mix them evenly.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the vanilla or white chocolate baking chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the mix: Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal and pretzel mix and gently stir with a spatula to evenly coat all pieces.
- Add candy and marshmallows: Immediately fold in the pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates and marshmallows carefully to avoid melting the candies.
- Spread and decorate: Spread the coated mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle the Easter sprinkles over the warm mixture while still soft.
- Set and serve: Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate sets. Once hardened, break into pieces and serve for a fun seasonal snack.
Notes
- Customize by adding popcorn, peanuts, or pastel M&M-style candies for extra texture and flavor.
- Store leftover Easter Bunny Bait in an airtight container at room temperature to keep it fresh for up to one week.
