Description

Irresistible bunny bait sparkles with pastel chocolate candies and sweet marshmallow magic, creating a playful Easter treat. Crisp rice cereal and colorful sprinkles make this snack impossible to resist when spring celebrations call.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 12 cups peanuts (salted or unsalted)
  • 2 cups Easter M&Ms

Dry Cereal and Crunchy Elements:

  • 2 cups rice chex cereal
  • 2 cups plain cheerios
  • 2 cups mini pretzels

Coating Ingredient:

  • 1 (24-ounce) package white almond bark

Instructions

  1. In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly amalgamate Rice Chex, Cheerios, pretzels, Easter M&Ms, and peanuts, ensuring uniform distribution of ingredients.
  2. Transform almond bark into smooth liquid through gentle heating, selecting either stovetop or microwave method with consistent stirring.
  3. Meticulously drench the cereal medley with molten white almond bark, rotating and folding until every morsel receives a creamy coating.
  4. Distribute the glazed mixture across parchment paper, creating an even layer that allows complete crystallization and textural transformation.
  5. After approximately 60 minutes of resting, fragment the solidified confection into irregular, bite-sized clusters ready for consumption.

Notes

  • Customize the mix by swapping out ingredients to suit dietary needs or preferences, like using gluten-free cereal or nut-free alternatives.
  • Control the melting process carefully to prevent almond bark from burning or seizing, which can ruin the entire batch’s texture and flavor.
  • Work quickly when coating the dry ingredients to ensure even distribution before the melted almond bark starts to cool and harden.
  • Store the snack in an airtight container at room temperature for maximum crunch and freshness, keeping it away from direct sunlight or heat.
