Easter Snack Mix Ingredients
- Milk chocolate chips: Choose high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor for this snack mix. Use a brand that you like; brands like Ghirardelli or Guittard are great options. Milk chocolate is used in this recipe to keep with the traditional s’mores flavor, but you can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate (or a mix of the two) if you prefer. (This recipe is a great way to use up any leftover bags of chips you may have in your pantry.)
- Bunny graham crackers: These small, animal-shaped crackers are similar in texture and flavor to traditional graham crackers. Use bunny grahams for a spring-focused treat or teddy grahams for a snack mix during a different season.
- Spring M&M’s: These M&M’s come in pastel colors, perfect for spring. Use other-colored candies if you make this snack mix at other times.
Ingredients Continued
- Dehydrated marshmallows: These small, freeze-dried pieces of marshmallow have a crispy texture and deliver the marshmallow flavor without getting stale or hard like regular marshmallows. You can often find them in the grocery store near hot chocolate mixes or order them online!
- White chocolate chips: Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Vegetable oil: This is used to thin out the melted chocolate and make it easier to drizzle over the snack mix.
- Easter sprinkles: Optional, but they add a fun and festive touch to the snack mix. Here’s what we used in these pictures.
Recipe Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: While you can use any brand of ingredients you prefer, using high-quality chocolate chips and white chocolate chips will make a big difference in the taste of this snack mix.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate: When melting the chocolate, be sure to do it in 30-second intervals and stir well between each one. Overheating the chocolate can cause it to become clumpy or even burn.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone liner: This will prevent the snack mix from sticking to the baking sheet and make it easier to remove and break into clusters once it’s cool.
- Work quickly: Once you’ve spread the melted chocolate onto the baking sheet, work quickly to add the toppings before the chocolate sets. This will help ensure that the toppings stick to the chocolate.
- Press the toppings into the chocolate: Gently press the bunny grahams, M&M’s, and dehydrated marshmallows into the chocolate to ensure they stick to the chocolate. Otherwise, they’ll fall off when breaking the mix into clusters.
- Chill the snack mix: After drizzling the white chocolate and adding the Easter sprinkles, be sure to chill the snack mix until it’s completely hardened.
Storage
Easter Snack Mix Storage
Once you’ve broken the Easter Snack Mix into clusters, it’s important to store it properly to keep it fresh and keep it from melting. To do so, transfer the snack mix to an airtight container, like a plastic container or a resealable plastic bag. Make sure the container is sealed tightly to prevent air from getting in.
It’s important to store the snack mix in the fridge, as it has a tendency to melt and fall apart at room temperature. The snack mix will last for up to a week when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Easter Snack Mix
Spring has sprung! With Easter right around the corner, it's the perfect time to start planning your holiday treats. If you're looking for a fun and festive snack that's both delicious and adorable, then you'll love this Easter Snack Mix. This recipe is inspired by classic s'mores, with a combination of milk chocolate, bunny graham crackers, spring M&M's, and marshmallows. And the best part? It's topped off with a white chocolate drizzle and Easter sprinkles– the perfect finishing touch!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (12 oz.) milk chocolate chips (Note 1)
- 2½ cups Bunny (or Teddy) grahams (most of a 7 oz. pkg.)
- 1 cup Spring M&M's
- ½ cup dehydrated marshmallows, optional (Note 2)
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1½ teaspoons vegetable oil, separated
- Optional: Easter sprinkles
Instructions
- PREP BAKING SHEET: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, a silicone liner, or wax paper. Don't skip this!
- MELT CHOCOLATE: Add milk chocolate and 1 tsp. vegetable oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds on high, stir. Microwave in 10 second increments, stirring between each, until chocolate is just melted. Do not overheat chocolate.
- SPREAD CHOCOLATE: Spread ¾ of the melted chocolate (just eyeball it) onto the prepared sheet pan directly on the parchment paper. Spread with a silicone spatula in an even and smooth layer. It’s easiest to hold the paper down with one hand and pull the spatula down and away from the hand holding the paper. Spread to roughly 8×12 inches.
- SNACK MIX: Working quickly, top the chocolate with the bunny grahams, M&M's, and dehydrated marshmallows. Spread these ingredients evenly across the chocolate, pressing everything gently into one layer that touches the chocolate. Try to get all the toppings to stick to the chocolate or they'll fall off later.
- DRIZZLE: If your remaining chocolate in the bowl has cooled, microwave for another 10-20 seconds. Pour melted chocolate into a piping bag or a sandwich bag and snip a tiny bit of the corner off to create a piping bag. Drizzle generously over top snack mix.
- WHITE CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE: Melt white chocolate and remaining 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil in the microwave. Transfer melted chocolate into a piping bag or a sandwich bag and snip a tiny bit of the corner off to create a piping bag. Drizzle generously over the snack mix. Immediately sprinkle with Easter sprinkles, if desired.
- CHILL: Refrigerate until the mix has completely hardened. Break into clusters and enjoy! Return clusters to a bag or airtight container and store them in the fridge (it becomes melty/falls apart at room temperature).
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Chocolate: Choose high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor for this snack mix. Use a brand that you like; brands like Ghirardelli or Guittard are great options. Milk chocolate is used in this recipe to keep with the traditional s’mores flavor, but you can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate (or a mix of the two) if you prefer. (This recipe is a great way to use up any leftover bags of chips you may have in your pantry!)
Note 2: Dehydrated marshmallows: These small, freeze-dried pieces of marshmallow have a crispy texture and deliver the marshmallow flavor without getting stale or squishy like regular marshmallows. You can often find them in the grocery store near hot chocolate mixes or order them online! If you can’t find these, just leave them out. We didn’t like regular marshmallows in this mix.
