This adorable bunny bait trail mix is a crunchy, no-bake Easter snack that everyone goes crazy for! It’s one of our favorite things to make during Easter and doesn’t last more than a day.

No-bake and no-cook: You just melt the chocolate in the microwave, then toss everything together.

Versatile: Add food coloring for different holidays, use different candies, or add peanut butter.

Convenient: It’s made with pantry staples only.

Great to make-ahead: The snack mix stays nice and crunchy for days if you’re prepping in advance.

This white chocolate Easter dessert comes together with simple ingredients for the perfect sweet-crunchy bite! Scroll to the recipe card at the end of this post for the full recipe with ingredient amounts.

• Chex cereal: I love Rice Chex or any plain variety for a light base. If we're all out, even honey nut Cheerios will do.
• Popped popcorn: Adds crunch. Lightly salted popcorn is great to balance the sweetness too.
• Bunny Grahams: I love Auntie Anne’s, but use your favorite brand. Chopped graham crackers work as well.
• Easter M&Ms: These are seasonal, pastel m&m candies you can probably find at your local grocery store.
• Vanilla candy melts: They add creaminess and help create small clusters. Feel free to use white chocolate chips.
• Easter sprinkles: I use regular, pastel-colored sprinkles if I’m all out of specialty ones.
• Sweetened coconut shreds: Raw shredded coconut is more on-theme, but toasted shredded coconut is full of aroma and crunch. Use whichever you prefer.

This chocolatey, Easter bunny bait recipe is a quick, no-bake snack that might just bring the Easter bunny to your kitchen this year! Here’s a quick rundown of the recipe:

1. Step 1: Melt the white candy melts according to package directions until smooth.

2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the Chex cereal, popcorn, Bunny Grahams, and M&Ms. Toss gently until evenly mixed.

3. Step 3: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the snack mix and use a spatula to fold it in, coating the ingredients lightly and unevenly.

4. Step 4: Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle with Easter sprinkles and coconut. Let sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully hardened. Break into clusters and serve.

This colorful Easter trail mix is super fun to customize depending on what candies you’ve got on hand and what time of year it is! Try these yummy twists:

More candy: Reduce the M&M’s by half, and add ½ cup jelly beans or Cadbury mini eggs. You can even do ¼ cup of each.

Swap the chocolate: If you’re not a fan of white chocolate, feel free to use milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips instead of vanilla candy melts.

Add peanut butter: Stir 2-3 tablespoons smooth or crunchy peanut butter into the melted chocolate for a nutty twist.

Make it sweet-salty: Toss ¼-1/2 cup mini pretzels or chopped pretzel sticks with the rest of the cereal mixture for a salty crunch.

St. Patrick’s day mix: Mix 1-2 drops green food coloring into the melted chocolate until smooth. Use green mini M&M’s and golden sprinkles for a leprechaun-inspired treat.

Valentine’s Day mix: Mix 1-2 drops pink or red food coloring into the melted chocolate until smooth. Use Valentine’s M&M’s and red sprinkles.

This Chex bunny bait with M&M’s, bunny grahams, and popcorn is best the day it’s made! Here’s how to store it for later:

Counter

In an airtight container or Ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 5 days. Keep away from direct heat and sunlight to prevent the chocolate from melting.

Refrigerator

For up to 7 days in an airtight container. Bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.

These simple tips and tricks will make your Easter bunny bait perfect every single time:

Use the microwave method: You can melt most chocolate chips and candy melts using my microwave method. Place them in a heat-safe bowl and microwave in 15-20-second intervals, stirring between each one until smooth.

Allow the chocolate to cool: Don’t pour the chocolate over the cereal mixture immediately after melting because the M&m’s can bleed their color and it won’t look as pretty. Always let the melted chocolate cool for at least 2-3 minutes before pouring it in.

Break it by hand: Doing so creates rustic, fun clusters. My daughter loves helping with this!

Toss gently: Mix everything until just coated. Keeping it a little uneven gives better texture and prevents crushing the popcorn.

Here’s what other Easter snack-makers are asking about this candy-filled bunny chow!

Yes! You can add up to ½ cup if you reduce the M&M’s by half.

Sure! It keeps for 5 days in airtight container at room temperature.

Absolutely! Milk, semi-sweet, and dark chocolate a great swaps.

Store it in a cool, dry place and seal the container tightly to keep moisture away.
