Easter Snack Mix
Celebrate spring with this fun and festive Easter Snack Mix! Inspired by s’mores, it’s packed with bunny grahams, chocolate, marshmallows, and pastel M&M’s, all drizzled with white chocolate and Easter sprinkles.
Servings: 8 servings
Cost: $7.12
Equipment
- Parchment paper or a silicone baking mat or wax paper
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips 12 ounces, see note 1
- 2-1/2 cups Bunny grahams or Teddy grahams, most of a 7-ounce package
- 1 cup Spring M&M’s
- 1/2 cup dehydrated marshmallows optional, see note 2
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil divided
- Easter sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper, a silicone liner, or wax paper. Don’t skip this!
- 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 3/4 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 8x12 inches.
- Working quickly, top the chocolate with the bunny grahams, M&M’s, and dehydrated marshmallows. Spread them 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.
- 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 the snack mix.
- 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.
- 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).
Notes
Note 1: Choose high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor (such as Ghirardelli or Guittard). I use milk chocolate 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.
Note 2: Dehydrated marshmallows have a crispy texture and deliver the marshmallow flavor without getting stale or squishy like regular marshmallows. You can often find them near hot chocolate mixes or order them online! If you can’t find these, just leave them out. I didn’t like regular marshmallows in this mix.
Storage: Store Easter Snack Mix in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
