Bunny Bait Sweet Mix (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Mix

01 - 6 cups popped popcorn (plain or lightly salted)
02 - 2 cups mini pretzels
03 - 1 ½ cups Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal

→ Sweet Components

04 - 1 cup pastel-colored M&Ms or candy-coated chocolates
05 - ½ cup Easter sprinkles or colored nonpareils

→ Coating

06 - 340g (12 oz) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
07 - 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, helps melt chocolate smoothly)

# Instructions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine popcorn, pretzels, cereal, M&Ms, and half of the sprinkles. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
03 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips (and coconut oil if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth and pourable.
04 - Pour the melted white chocolate over the snack mix and fold gently with a spatula until everything is evenly coated.
05 - Transfer the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
06 - Quickly sprinkle the remaining decorative sprinkles on top before the chocolate begins to set.
07 - Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate has fully hardened.
08 - Break the hardened mixture into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container.

# Notes:

01 - This sweet-and-salty snack mix is perfect for Easter gatherings or spring celebrations.
02 - Can be stored at room temperature for up to one week if kept in a sealed container.
