Funfetti Popcorn {Bunny Bait}
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels, or 2 bags tender white popcorn
12 oz. melting white chocolate or almond bark
2 cups pretzels
2 cups Rice
1 12 oz. bag plain Milk Chocolate M&Ms
Multicolored Sprinkles – I used pastel colored ones.
Directions:
Pop popcorn. Add pretzels, rice Chex and popcorn to a cookie sheet with sides.
Melt white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl on HIGH power in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth. OR melt in double boiler. Drizzle half of melted chips over popcorn mixture, then stir, tossing gently a few times with a rubber spatula. Then drizzle remaining half of melted chocolate over popcorn, and gently stir mixture until evenly coated. Sprinkle with sprinkles. Add M&M’s. When cool, break into pieces and place in bags.
I doubled the recipe and was able to get 50 bags out of it! The kids all have enough to hand out to teacher and the neighbors for Easter. This is such an easy, cute and yummy treat!

Rice? You might want to alter your recipe to read Rice Chex. I was trying to figure out why you would use rice in your mix. Wondered if you were adding a secret hint of raw fiber in their diet? Cracked me up when I scrolled back up to your pictures.
Really cute and. Simple
