Tips for Making Bunny Bait Easter Snack Mix

When using parchment paper, crumble it up into a ball and then lay it out on the baking sheet. This will stop it from rolling up. I learned this tip from my friend Laura over at Lolo Home Kitchen!

To avoid burning your chocolate, make sure to heat it up in small increments and stir in between.

Storage for Bunny Bait

Store the snack mix in an airtight container. Keep at room temperature. This mix will be good for about 5 days.
