Step 1

Line a large baking sheet (18 x 13 or similar) with parchment paper, then set nearby.

Step 2

Place popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, then add M&M’s and pretzels on top.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, heat vanilla candy melts per package instructions until smooth.

Step 4

Pour melted vanilla candy over the popcorn mixture, then use a spatula to quickly (but gently!) toss and stir until the candy melts have coated all of the ingredients. Be careful not to stir too long; you don’t want the candy to harden yet.

Step 5

Transfer coated popcorn mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread out into an even layer.

Step 6

While candy melts are still wet, sprinkle with festive sprinkles as desired.

Step 7

If you’d like to add more color, heat some colorful candy melts and drizzle them on top of the bunny bait.

Step 8

Let bunny bait dry completely (about 1 hour), then use your hands to gently break it apart into snack-sized pieces.

Step 9

Bunny bait can be stored at room temperature in sealed bags or a container for up to 5 days.
