Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pretzel sticks, broken into small pieces
- 14 Oreo cookies, slightly broken into chunks
- 2 cups milk chocolate M&M’s (or seasonal pastel M&M’s for Easter)
- 16 ounces Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers (or any white chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons spring-themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Mix: In a large bowl, combine the broken pretzel sticks, Oreo chunks, and M&M’s. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate wafers according to the package instructions. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate—microwave in short intervals or use a double boiler for best results.
- Combine: Pour the melted white chocolate over the pretzel, Oreo, and M&M mixture. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread and Decorate: Pour the mixture onto a large piece of parchment paper or a baking sheet lined with parchment. Use a spatula to spread it out into an even layer. Immediately sprinkle the spring-themed sprinkles over the top.
- Set and Harden: Let the Bunny Chow Candy sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
- Break and Serve: Once hardened, break the candy into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for freshness.
Notes
- Party Favors: Divide the Bunny Chow Candy into individual Ziploc bags for easy party favors or lunchbox treats.
- Holiday Adaptations: Customize this recipe for any occasion! Use red and green M&M’s and sprinkles for Christmas, or pastel colors for Easter.
- M&M Varieties: Experiment with different M&M flavors like peanut, fudge brownie, or white chocolate for a unique twist.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place for up to a week. For longer storage, keep in the refrigerator.
