Bunny Bait Easter Snack Mix! This colorful, festive Easter treat made with a mix of sweet and salty nibbles is great for packaging & gifting.
I am up to my {bunny} ears in projects, orders, and baking today, but I wanted to leave you with a super quick "recipe" for something that you must make for the special little ones that will be gathering around your Easter table this weekend.
As I mentioned yesterday, my original plans for Easter treats kinda fell apart through, so I went on my very own Easter hunt of sorts for an alternative plan.
Ever the treasure trove of creative ideas, Pinterest came through for me once again when I found this idea for "Bunny Bait" {I would credit the original, but I've seen so many versions I have no idea where it started!}.
It was the perfect solution for whipping up a speedy treat to take to the kiddies at work. {Thank goodness, because I literally had half an hour to make something!}
The combo of popcorn, pretzels, M&M's, mini marshmallows, Easter sprinkles, and white chocolate coating makes a sweet and salty snack that will please kids, adults, and cotton-tailed visitors alike.
Package the mix in a cute little bag, print out an adorable tag, tie on some pretty ribbon, and just like that you've got a fun little gift to add to any Easter basket!
You can add or omit any ingredient you want to this customizable mix {I was thinking next time I'd try out a healthier version}, and make it your own.
As a little bonus, I'm sharing the labels I made on Publisher for you to download & print onto some cardstock! {You're welcome, cheaters!} 😉

Bunny Bait Easter Snack Mix
Ingredients
- 3 cups popped popcorn

- Place popcorn on a large parchment-lined baking pan.
- Drizzle melted candy coating over popcorn.
- Toss M&M's, pretzels, marshmallows, and sprinkles together on sheet tray or in bowl and sprinkle over top.
- Toss the mixture together carefully, making sure to coat all pieces. (I like to use a sheet pan with a lid so I can cover and shake the mixture.)
- Refrigerate the pan for 10-15 minutes to allow the candy coating to set.
- Break apart any large clumps and scoop into desired packaging.
