Ingredients

• 3 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
• 1 ½ – 2 cups Cheerios
• 1-2 cups pretzel sticks, broken in half
• 1 cup Easter M&M’s, with extra for topping
• 10 ounces Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers

Mix the Ingredients Together

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, add 3 cups of Chex cereal, 1½ to 2 cups of Cheerios, and 1-2 cups of broken pretzel sticks. Gently stir the ingredients together until they are evenly mixed. This step is critical; you want every bite to burst with flavors and textures!

Add the M&M’s

Toss in 1 cup of Easter M&M’s into the mixture. Make sure the candies are distributed well throughout for a colorful and delicious crunch in every bite! You might even want to save a few for topping later; it adds a festive touch.

Melt the Chocolate

Microwave the White Chocolate

Place 10 ounces of Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate frequently and continue melting in 30-second increments, being careful not to overcook it, or it may burn. The goal is a smooth, dreamy chocolate that’ll coat all your crunchy goodies.

Coat the Mix with Chocolate

Pour and Stir

Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, pour it over the Chex mix. Use a spatula or spoon to stir the mixture gently until every bit of the cereal and pretzels is well-coated. The chocolate should cling to everything nicely, creating a sweet embrace around your snack!

Set and Store

Transfer to Wax Paper

Pour the chocolate-coated mix onto a piece of wax or parchment paper, spreading it out evenly. For an extra pop of color, sprinkle additional M&M’s on top while the chocolate is still warm. This little detail makes Bunny Bait look even more inviting!

Allow to Harden

Let it set until it hardens completely, which takes about 15 minutes. Afterward, break it into pieces and store it in a zip-top bag or covered container. It’s so hard to resist snacking on it right away, but trust me; letting it cool makes the flavors even better.

Serving Suggestions

Bunny Bait makes a great centerpiece for Easter egg hunts and springtime picnics. Serve it in festive bowls, or create individual snack bags for guests to take home! You could even pair it with some fun drinks for a vibrant spring refreshment table.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the chocolate is fully melted but not overheated to avoid a grainy texture. Keep an eye on it as it warms!
• Feel free to customize the mix with your favorite snacks, like nuts or dried fruit. The creative potential is endless!
