Bunny Bait Trail Mix

If you’re looking for an Easter treat that’s not just a chocolate egg or jelly beans, this easy Bunny Bait snack mix is just what you need. Crunch, sweet and coated in a white chocolate drizzle, you’ll be shoveling this in by the handful.

We love to make Bunny Bait for an after school snack or classroom treat but this is so fun to make just to keep little hands busy on a lazy afternoon during spring break.

It comes together easily and is our favorite snack for busy days.

Snack mix is great to make in advance to have on hand and we love to put bowls out around the room when entertaining on Easter Day.

It’s a pretty healthy snack minus the mini marshmallows, M&M’s Speckled Eggs and white chocolate…..the bunny grahams and popcorn are pretty ok. Right? Right? 

Well, ok, it’s not THAT healthy but it’s not a Cadbury egg or a giant chocolate bunny that would cause the toddler class to bounce off the walls before crashing into a cranky mess due to the sugar overload. 

Ingredients You will Need

  • White Chocolate Candy Melts
  • Food Coloring (I like the Gel Food Coloring)

The Easter Bunny loves this Easter Trail Mix, too….it’s perfect to leave as a “Thank You” snack the night before Easter. It’s hard work hiding all those eggs and filling all of those baskets with chocolate eggs….he/she will definitely need an energizing snack! 

This is the one, cookies are far too fattening….let’s stick with the chocolate covered popcorn, cookies and candy. It’s a much better option. 🙂
