Cereal Mixture

- 2 cups mini pretzel sticks Adding a delightful crunch and a hint of saltiness.
- 1.5 cups Cheerios These oat-based circles enrich the texture.
Chocolate Coating
- 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers The creamy coating that ties everything together.

Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzel sticks, and Cheerios. Gently mix these ingredients together.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using). Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well until smooth.

Adding Toppings
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle in the pastel M&M’s and spring sprinkles. Fold them gently into the mix.
- Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Cooling
- Let the Bunny Bait cool completely at room temperature or place it in the fridge for faster setting.
- Once set, break into clusters and serve.
