Ingredients
Scale
- 9 cups rice or corn cereal squares (such as crispy rice cereal)
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips or vanilla baking melts
- ½ cup creamy nut-free spread or seed butter (optional, for richness)
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup candy-coated chocolates (spring/Easter colors)
- 1 cup mini pretzels (twists or sticks)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup pastel-colored sprinkles or sugar pearls
- Optional: edible glitter, jelly beans, crushed freeze-dried strawberries
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cereal Base
- Measure the cereal into a large mixing bowl.
- Make sure the bowl is big enough to stir and toss the mixture without spilling.
- Set aside the powdered sugar in a separate large bowl or zip-top bag for coating.
2. Melt the White Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add white chocolate chips (and nut-free spread if using).
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Be careful not to overheat, as white chocolate can burn easily.
3. Coat the Cereal
- Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture.
- Gently fold and stir with a spatula until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
- Work quickly before the chocolate begins to harden.
4. Add the Powdered Sugar
- Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or bowl with powdered sugar.
- Seal the bag and shake well until all pieces are coated in sugar.
- If using a bowl, toss gently with a spoon or your hands.
5. Mix in Easter Add-ins
- Spread the coated cereal onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle in candy-coated chocolates, pretzels, mini marshmallows, and sprinkles.
- Toss gently to combine without breaking the cereal pieces.
- Allow to cool and set completely before storing.
6. Serve or Package
- Scoop the Bunny Chow into bowls, jars, or treat bags.
- Decorate with additional sprinkles or ribbons for a festive touch.
- Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
