Instructions

Let’s dive into the easy steps to create this sweet masterpiece!

1. Prepare Your Mixing Bowl

Grab a large mixing bowl—something big enough to hold all your ingredients. You’ll need space to toss everything together without making a mess.

2. Combine the Dry Ingredients

In your mixing bowl, add the Chex cereal, pretzels, and peanut butter M&Ms. Give everything a gentle stir to combine, making sure the cereal and pretzels are evenly spread out.

3. Melt the White Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s smooth and melted. The white chocolate will be the glue that holds this whole snack together!

4. Coat the Mix

Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal, pretzels, and peanut butter M&Ms. Gently stir to coat everything in that sweet, creamy chocolate.

5. Add the Fun Stuff

Once everything is coated, toss in the mini marshmallows and candy-coated chocolate eggs. These little bursts of color and sweetness will make your Bunny Bait extra fun and festive!

6. Let It Set

Spread the Bunny Bait mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it sit for a bit to allow the chocolate to firm up. This will help prevent any sticky mess.

7. Serve and Enjoy!

Once it’s all set, grab a handful (or two—or three) and enjoy this sweet, salty, crunchy goodness. Trust me, it’s so good, you’ll be tempted to go back for more!
