Jelly beans, chocolate eggs, marshmallows…the stores are filled with a variety of Easter treats. Have you started shopping for Easter yet? I did…but then I started snacking on it all. Oops. Oh well, I still have time to fit in a second round of Easter shopping before the end of the month. Next time I’ll have to try to hide the treats from myself. Ha! Does that actually work for anyone? Hiding treats from yourself? Like could you really forget that there was a big box of chocolates “hiding” up in your pantry? I can’t. Guess it’s time to work on my willpower. This Easter Bunny Bait snack mix certainly was a test for my willpower! It’s a delicious combination of sweet popcorn, Easter candies, pretzels and chocolate. Like a sweet & salty snack mix but with an Easter twist. It would make a great movie night snack mix.
Easter Bunny Bait:
I don’t include quantities in the recipe because you just add in as much as you want of each item. For the popcorn, you could go with regular plain popcorn but I prefer a caramel and chocolate mixture. For this recipe, I used the Smartfood brand – Milk Chocolate and Caramel Drizzle. Even just plain caramel popcorn here will work since you’ll be pouring chocolate over all of it later anyways.
- chocolate and caramel popcorn
- pretzel sticks
- Mini eggs
- jelly beans
- Whoppers Robins Eggs
- bunny (or plain mini) marshmallows
- Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- Put all ingredients (except melted chocolate) on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Spread all the ingredients out in a thin, single layer.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over top.
- Put in freezer to allow chocolate to harden (about 30-60 minutes) then remove from freezer, break into pieces and store in a food storage resealable bag.
