Bunny Bait Snack Mix

Are you ready for the easiest (yummy) Easter basket treat ever?!

I needed something that was cute, wouldn’t break easy (mailing in packages), could feed an army, and last a few days without losing it’s flavor.

This is what I came up with. This takes about 10 minutes to put together. Longer if you’re coming up with cute tags to attach to your “bunny bait”, but don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. You can find the printable tags below!

Throw everything together in a giant bowl.

Don’t try to skimp on your bowl here, otherwise you’ll have Cheerios all over your kitchen floor – which may or may not differ from a normal day.

Melt CandiQuik and pour over the mixture. I used a spatula to fold together until the mixture was evenly coated.

Spread mixture out onto a large piece of wax paper (I used two pieces of wax paper, side by side). This prevents you from having one ginormous piece of Cheerio Crispy Treat.

Once the mixture is completely dry (5-10 minutes), scoop into cute little treat bags, tie off with a ribbon and treat tag! Voila.

Homemade Cadbury Eggs

Pin It

Don’t you love this small treat trend?

Two bites, or even one.

Less guilt.

Win.

Then we won’t feel so bad for eating one five of them, right!?

I recently had a friend come up to me and tell me “Cadbury eggs would be awesome!!!”

(wink, wink, hint, hint, nudge, nudge)

So here I am. 27 hours later. Posting about chocolate eggs bursting with a fondant-like filling.

I just had to, for Easter, ya know!?

Even better, I bet you have all this stuff in your pantry.

*Crossing fingers!*

Bunny Cake Bites

Almost too cute to eat. Almost.

These would definitely be too cute to eat – if they weren’t filled with cake, frosting, and all the other necessities your (ok, my) body needs.

For your next Playdate. Birthday. Or how cute would these be in an Easter basket!?

I highly recommend:
