Ingredients For Bunny Bait Recipe
- White chocolate candy melts – The melted chocolate coats the other ingredients, adding a creamy sweetness.
- Chex cereal – Gives the snack a perfect light crunch and works well with the chocolate coating. We used the corn variety, but you can use whatever type you have on hand.
- Pretzel snaps – The salty flavor balances the sweetness, and they add a bit more crunch to the mix. If you can't find square pretzels, traditional shaped mini pretzels will do.
- Honey Nut Cheerios – These add a subtle sweetness and another texture.
- Easter M&Ms – They add festive colors and chocolatey goodness to the mix.

How to Make Bunny Chex Mix Recipe
This recipe is simple and only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. Start by spreading the Chex cereal, pretzels, Easter M&Ms, and Honey Nut Cheerios out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Next, melt your white chocolate melting wafers according to the directions on your package. Stir the chocolate until it’s smooth, then drizzle it over the mix on your baking sheet.

Tips for Making Bunny Bait
Tip 1: Use quality white chocolate for the smoothest, creamiest coating. Cheaper chocolate can sometimes clump or burn while melting.
Tip 2: If you want to jazz things up even more, you can add sprinkles in Easter colors before the chocolate sets.
Tip 3: Make sure everything is spread out evenly on the baking sheet before adding the chocolate. This helps the chocolate coat everything more consistently.
FAQS For Recipe For Bunny Bait
To keep your Bunny Bait fresh and crunchy, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for about a week, though it's so yummy that it might not last that long! Avoid storing it in the fridge, as the pretzels and cereal can lose their crispness.
Sure! You can swap out the M&Ms for other candies or use different cereals if you’d like. Add some mini marshmallows or nuts for extra texture, or make it entirely nut-free if needed! It’s a flexible recipe, so feel free to make it your own.
Kids love helping with this recipe. They can mix the ingredients, sprinkle on the candy, or help drizzle the chocolate. Just supervise them if the melted chocolate is still warm.
Recipes to Make With Pretzels
Pretzels aren’t just for snacking - they’re one of my favorite versatile ingredients to have on hand. You can crush them for a salty-sweet crust, toss them into snack mixes, or use them as a crunchy topping that adds texture and fun. Here are some of my favorite ways to use pretzels:
- Red White and Blue Pretzel Salad
- Smoked Mustard Pretzels Recipe
- No Bake Berry Cheesecake With Pretzel Crust
