You can customize the bunny bait recipe in so many ways, swapping out ingredients. Then, you can serve it in a large bowl at your Easter brunch or dinner – or do what I did and divide it into food-safe cello bags, tie it with a bow, and give it as an Easter treat to family and friends!

Ingredients

The ingredients for this bunny bait recipe are easy to grab at the grocery. I ordered ahead as a Target drive-up order – so convenient! I even bought the popcorn pre-popped, to make this recipe extra simple and fast.

The recipe made about 6 cups total, which evenly separated into 3 cello bags.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (except sprinkles).

Then, in a microwave-safe dish, break up the chocolate bar into small chunks and slowly melt. I started with 30 seconds and then stirred. After that, I alternated 15 seconds with stirring until the chocolate was melted. Do what works best for your microwave – you might need more or less time.

Next, pour melted chocolate over dry ingredients and fold until well-coated.

Then, spread out the coated ingredients onto a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Lastly, evenly distribute sprinkles on top.

Let set for about 45 minutes. Once set, break up into pieces and either serve in a bowl or package to gift!

Easter Gift: Bunny Bait Packaging

To package this cute Easter trail mix snack, I used food-safe cello bags, sized to 6″x10″. They come with gold twist ties, which I used first. Then around them, I tied a bow out of this beautiful cotton ribbon. I love the creamy color and frayed edges. You could easily tie a tag to it as well to make it even more personalized.
