What is Bunny Bait Snack Mix? It’s basically a super sweet Chex mix recipe for Easter!
Kids Love Making this Easter Snack Mix!
I don’t know about your kids, but mine LOVE to help me in the kitchen. At the first sight of me stepping up to the kitchen counter to make something, my little ones come running.
They grab their step stools, make all of us throw on aprons, and ask to help. I love making fun & easy recipes like this Bunny Bait Snack Mix with them–in fact, this recipe is so easy that my 3-year-old made the majority of it–no, really!
Aside from pouring and mixing the melted chocolate, my daughter pretty much did everything else. I love cooking with my cutie. It’s fun “Mommy & Mia” time that we both look forward to it and it builds precious memories. PLUS she’s learning some pretty awesome cooking skills along the way. 🙂
How even little ones can help make this recipe
Mia loved breaking apart the pretzels, dumping all the ingredients into our big bowl, and especially adding the sprinkles and coconut. This is such a fun snack mix to make for Easter! Isn’t holiday baking so fun?
I love how easy this snack mix recipe is that it gives us time to really celebrate Easter-time. No more time spent stressing over time spent in the kitchen baking. So grab your kids this Easter season and get them in the kitchen with you to make this snack mix. You and your kids will LOVE it.

I made the mistake of showing the kids this Bunny Bait and told them we could make it for Easter, however when the day came and went, we ended up not having much time. They’ve been bugging ever since. Well, my 10 year old has. Sooooo….We’re going to make it this weekend. I’m excited because I definitely have a sweet and since we’ve switched to clean eating…we don’t get to eat sweets a lot. Thanks for Sharing!
