Easter Bunny Bait Candy Recipe

Bunny bait snack mix in an Easter jelly bean tin.

My intention here was to make something similar to “puppy chow”, but with light colors for Easter. Of course, I started over-thinking it at first. I tried to microwave some white chocolate chips which was a huge fail. Long story short, keeping it simple was key!

Everything I used was purchased during my last trip to Target. The dollar bins got me (they always do) and I found these cute tins and some Easter grass. Then I bought some Rice Chex, Pink Candy Melts (Wilton brand) and a variety of Easter-themed candies.

The candies are totally up to you, but I bought white chocolate M&M’s, Hershey’s white chocolate eggs and Cadbury Royal Dark Chocolate Eggs.

This recipe reminds me of my childhood. My friend used to tell me that “Little People” lived in our air vents. We would leave treats and pieces of cheese for these tiny house guests. Of course, no matter how hard I tried to get a glimpse of these elusive friends, I never succeeded.

Little People are ninja swift and prefer to remain out of sight. The cheese was always eaten, so that was proof enough of their existence to me. 😉 Obviously, it wasn’t our family dog eating the cheese; that would just be rude.

Bunny Bait is fun to make with the kids. Since you cannot go wrong with the mixture, let kids add their favorite candies. You can switch up the color of candy melts and candies for each holiday.

Make Reindeer Food around Christmas, Leprechaun Bait for St. Patrick’s Day, Cupid’s Candy for Valentine’s day, and whatever else you can dream up.

Bunny Bait is great to use for filling plastic eggs and putting into Easter baskets. You can leave some sit in decorative dishes if you have guests coming over. Or, if you go somewhere for Easter, bring some Bunny Bait along with you for the host.
