With Easter just around the corner, this Bunny Bait is a fun and easy activity for the kids to help out with. It comes together super quick and the best part is you can easily swap out out any ingredients with what you have in your pantry.

This classic sweet and savory treat usually involves some butter, cereal, melted chocolate and a few fun mix-ins.

We usually try to make this snack mix a touch healthier by using [amazon_textlink asin=’B00DS842HS’ text=’coconut oil’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’lifmadswe09-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’77b23a9a-3e8d-11e8-b42a-713df7af35d0′] instead of butter and swapping out the white chocolate with peanut or almond butter. For a nut-free version, you can try sunflower or pumpkin seed butter.

All you have to do is add all the ingredients into a [amazon_textlink asin=’B07429FYHG’ text=’resealable bag’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’lifmadswe09-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’8291bcab-3e8d-11e8-a4ee-9df31f88a558′] and shake! So simple and super fun for the kids.
