Description
Easter Bunny Chow is the ultimate spring snack! A colorful twist on the classic “Muddy Buddies,” this no-bake treat is made with crunchy cereal coated in melted white chocolate and powdered sugar, then mixed with festive Easter candies and sprinkles.
Ingredients
6 cups Rice or Corn Chex cereal
1½ cups white chocolate chips or pastel candy melts
½ cup peanut butter (or almond butter) – optional
2 tablespoons butter
1½ cups powdered sugar
1 cup pastel M&Ms or candy-coated chocolates
1 cup mini marshmallows
½ cup Easter sprinkles
Optional: ½ cup pretzel sticks, broken in half
Optional: ½ cup shredded coconut (tinted green)
Instructions
Prep: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure out cereal and place in a large mixing bowl.
Melt: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, peanut butter (if using), and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Mix: Pour the melted mixture over the cereal. Gently fold until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
Coat: Add powdered sugar to a large Ziploc bag. Pour in coated cereal, seal the bag, and shake until fully covered.
Combine: Transfer the mix back to the bowl. Add in M&Ms, marshmallows, sprinkles, and any other mix-ins. Gently stir to combine.
Cool: Spread the mixture on the parchment-lined tray to cool and set for 10–15 minutes.
Serve or store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
Use a rubber spatula to fold in melted chocolate without breaking the cereal.
Add coconut oil (1 tsp) if your candy melts are too thick.
Customize colors and candies for different holidays or themes.
