Instructions
Preparation:
1: Melt the White Chocolate & Peanut Butter
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter.

3: Toss in Powdered Sugar
- Transfer the coated cereal into a large Ziploc bag (or use a mixing bowl with a lid).
- Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake well until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Spread the cereal mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool for 10–15 minutes.
4: Add the Easter Mix-Ins
- Once the coated cereal has cooled completely, transfer it to a large serving bowl.
- Stir in the pastel M&M’s, mini marshmallows, Easter sprinkles, and any optional add-ins like pretzels, Cadbury eggs, or shredded coconut.
