Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 2 cups vanilla candy melts (Wilton, Almond Bark or CandiQuik are great)
  • 8 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped)
  • 12 ounces pastel M&M's
  • 1 1/2 cups pretzels (each piece broken in half)
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles (any festive style)
  • 1 cup colorful candy melts (optional)

Instruction

  • Line a large baking sheet (18 x 13 or similar) with parchment paper, then set nearby.
  • Place popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, then add M&M’s and pretzels on top.
  • In a medium bowl, heat vanilla candy melts per package instructions until smooth.
  • Pour melted vanilla candy over the popcorn mixture, then use a spatula to quickly (but gently!) toss and stir until the candy melts have coated all of the ingredients. Be careful not to stir too long; you don’t want the candy to harden yet.
  • Transfer coated popcorn mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread out into an even layer.
  • While candy melts are still wet, sprinkle with festive sprinkles as desired.
  • If you’d like to add more color, heat some colorful candy melts and drizzle them on top of the bunny bait.
  • Let bunny bait dry completely (about 1 hour), then use your hands to gently break it apart into snack-sized pieces.
  • Bunny bait can be stored at room temperature in sealed bags or a container for up to 5 days.
