Bunny Bait: Ingredients & Substitutions
Clik here to view.

- White Chocolate. If using real white chocolate (no corn syrup – highly recommended for taste), the final product will have a yellowish tint – which can be remedied with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. If you choose to use white candy melts, the coating will be pure white. Use white chocolate chips, bars, or candy melts.
- Salted butter. unsalted works well too.
- Candy. Choose your favorite easter candies.
- Sprinkles. I love adding sprinkles to this bunny bait to make it extra festive.
- Powdered sugar. this is optional if you’d like to add a dusting of white.
