Easter is almost here which means it’s time for easy homemade Easter treats that are perfect for making with the kids! You know I’ll take any reason to get crafty or make easy recipes.
Easter is the perfect reason!
I’ll admit that I’m being sucked in by all things sweet this Easter. I’ve been inspired by all the cute chicks and bunnies I see floating around the stores. The kids love checking out all of the Easter themed candy so it was the perfect reason to make our own Easter Bunny Bait!
Easy Homemade Easter Treats
I’ve been sharing a lot of my ideas for Easter treats and crafts here. But I’ve also been pinning ideas like crazy on my Easter Pinterest board. I love making candy bark and snack mixes because they are such easy homemade Easter treats.
They’re perfect for giving as little gifts if package in a cute holiday bag or just enjoying together while you watch a fun Easter movie together.
What You Need to Make Bunny Bait
We’ve included some affiliate links in case you need to snag some supplies to make your own!
- 1 bag microwave Popcorn (about 6 cups popped)
- I cup Pretzels, broken up a bit
- 2 cups Rice Chex cereal

How to Make Easy Homemade Easter Treats
- Pop the popcorn according to the directions on the packaging.
- Pour into a large bowl and remove any unpopped kernels.
- Mix in pretzels, cereal, and M&Ms.
- Melt almond bark or candy melts in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until melted.
- Pour about half of the melted candy over your mixture and then toss gently to coat. Add additional melted candy and toss lightly once more.
- Spread the Bunny Bait mixture out on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper. Allow to cool and harden.
- Break into pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.
And that’s how easy it is to make your own homemade Easter treats! The kids can help as long as you’re there to supervise working with the melted candy as it can get pretty hot!
We enjoy making our own Bunny Bait and having a family movie night watching one of our favorite Easter movies!
