Ingredients Needed

Here’s the list of all the simple snack mix ingredients:

CADBURY MINI EGGS: The mini Cadbury eggs are a favorite chocolate candy that adds to this sweet snack mix.

NEAPOLITAN BUNNY GRAHAMS: So I used the Annie’s brand on the Easter bunny graham crackers as they are colorful, have great flavors and are organic!

MINI PRETZELS: Mini pretzels or pretzel sticks work for great for this Bunny bait Easter trail mix. It helps add a salty component to balance all the sweetness.

DRIED CHERRIES: I love dried fruit for snack mixes. It compliments the nuts and the chocolate.

CHOCOLATE COVERED ALMONTDS: I took this Easter bunny bait mix to another level and used dark chocolate almonds. Talk about delicious addition.

SALTED ALMONDS: The salted almonds add a really nice crunch to the mix. Plus a great source of nutrients.

HONEY ROASTED PEANUTS: If you like peanuts, reach for a container of honey roasted for the perfect addition to the mix.

SHREDDED COCONUT (optional): We used shredded coconut for the final ingredient in the mix.

Storing

You can store your Easter trail mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one month. This is a snack mix that lasts quite awhile.

You can easily store it in a large jar that seals well so everyone can snack on through out the month. I keep it out on the kitchen counter so everyone can grab and go. Feel free to make an extra large batch to keep out as easy treats.

Can I Make Easter Trail Mix in Advance?

Go ahead and make this special treat a few days in advance. Just keep it in an airtight container so that it doesn’t go stale. Then just give it a light stir and dish it up in a serving bowl to add to your Easter spread.

 

Easter Trail Mix has always been a huge hit at our Easter holiday events. Whether it’s an Easter brunch, a casual family gathering or a church pot luck, this delicious Easter snack mix is well loved.
