At the grocery store the other day I noticed that bunny-shaped foods seemed to be multiplying like rabbits. With my kids out of the house, I don’t have a huge demand for bunny-shaped anything, but when I saw the Reese’s Puffs bunnies, I could resist no longer, and bought a box. What the heck, I thought, and threw in a bag of bunny-shaped marshmallows and a box of cheddar bunnies. ‘Cause, you know, bunnies. These are the foundation of my Bunny Snack Mix, a riff on the snack mix I used to make by the bucketload for my kids’ parties. I made some for my son, who scarfed it down and told me it was “familiar.” I found lots of other Easter snack mixes on the interwebs, but too many of them were drizzled with those awful colored candy melts. Don’t do that — it’s not fair to the bunnies.
Bunny Snack Mix is easy to make. You’ll need a big bowl. Make that a huge bowl. And a spoon. And maybe a little self-restraint.
Start by adding a 13-ounce box of Reese’s Puffs bunnies:
Next add 2 cups of Annie’s White Cheddar Bunnies:
Now add 2 cups of Jet-Puffed Bunny Mallows:
Ready to keep going, or do you need a break? Continuing on with the Easter theme, add an 11.4-ounce bag of pastel M&Ms:
Finish up by adding 1 cup yogurt raisins, and 1 cup salted peanuts. Mix well. Ta da! I packaged some up in mason jars and delivered to 3 of my favorite kids that aren’t my own.
