Bunny Booty
Do you ever have those weeks where you wake up on Monday morning and wish it were Friday already???
I am having one of those days today.
I’m just not feeling this being grown up and going to work thing. I am so over it.
In an effort to try and keep myself at least a tad bit interested in this week, which I have to admit I am failing at miserably haha, I present to you Bunny Booty.
No, not THAT kind of Bunny Booty…
The sweet kind with popcorn and candy π
This is a recipe that I saw and that was SO cute that I just had to make it. It is really simple and takes literally less than 30 minutes to pull together (including the packaging).
I can’t take credit for this recipe because I did find it on another blog, you can click on “recipe” and it will take you to the original.
I just thought it was such a cute idea that I wanted to try it too!
The best part about this recipe is that you can make it your own. So many ways to make it just a little more your style.
Have fun!
Ingredients for Bunny Booty:
- 2 bags Newman’s own 94% fat free plain popcorn popped (no butter or salt added)
- 12 oz white candy melts (can find these at Michaels)
- 1/4 cup butter flavored Crisco
- 2 cups salted pretzels, lightly broken (any shape you like)
- 1-12oz bag of pastel colored M&Ms (you can find these ANYWHERE this time of year)
- Yellow and Purple Sprinkles
In a large bowl place your popcorn (without the kernels), broken pretzels, and M&Ms. Toss together lightly.
In a smaller bowl put your candy melts and the Crisco. Place in a microwave heating on high for 30-45 second intervals. Make sure you take out the candy melts to stir them each time your interval is over. You want to slowly heat the candy and you also do not want it scalding hot. Heat just until it is smooth.
Drizzle half of the melted candy over top of the popcorn mixture. Toss the mixture together lightly with a spatula. Add the remaining candy and mix together until everything is nice and evenly coated.
Lay out on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment (easier for clean up). Sprinkle with your yellow and purple sprinkles of choice until it looks how you want.
Let this mixture sit for about an 30-45 minutes until it is completely hardened.
Once it is hardened you can place in clear party bags and wrap with ribbon for Easter treats to give out. Depending on how much you fill each bag will determine how many bags you will need.
How easy is that? You could have your kids help with this OR feed it to your kids. Something I am sure they would enjoy for Easter.
You can even make these treats for any time of the year! We know that M&Ms have all sorts of colors. You could do Christmas, Halloween, or even St. Patty’s Day!

I can see why you wanted to make this! It is perfect for the Easter holiday and it is quite unusual. I like that it has sprinkles as well as the pastel candy. Thanks for posting this!
RavieNomNoms
It definitely is a little different from what you normally see for Easter treats! I always like making things that are a little out of the ordinary. I love the pastel candies too. They just make it for me. Just a touch of color! π
Jackie
Great. Now all I want to do is go buy a pet Bunny and then make this popcorn goodness π
RavieNomNoms

Me too! I cannot wait to have something sweet once Easter is over. I always give up sweets so making them has been tough!

RavieNomNoms
Haha Beyonce eh? Too funny
Kelly
Hee.hee, you had me going there with the bunny booty!! π Yup, the grown up thing can be tough; what a great way to perk things up with your sweet and savoury bunny treat! ;-).
RavieNomNoms
Yes for sure Kelly! Sometimes I wish I was younger so I didn’t have so much responsibility! Haha although it is nice paying for yourself, no parents to say no! Lol
Stephanie
These is such a cute little snack mix! So festive!
RavieNomNoms
Thanks Stephanie!
Abby
Yum! This looks super addicting and probably wouldn’t last long around here π Hope your week gets a little brighter!
RavieNomNoms
Thanks Abby! It definitely didn’t last long in my house!
Kristina
Hahah love the bunny booty, too cute! My aunt makes something kind of like this for Christmas and I seriously can never keep my hands out of it, the white chocolate with salty popcorn and pretzels is sooo addicting. I love your pastel M&Ms and the sprinkles, my little cousins are coming for Easter and they would LOVE this! P.S. I think I feel like that every Monday if that makes you feel any better π
RavieNomNoms
That is so cute! I wouldn’t be able to stop eating that either. Popcorn is so addicting for me. Unfortunately it is still Lent so I didn’t get to try these goodies, but it seemed to go over very very well! hehe
Thanks Kristina! Makes me feel better that I am not alone π
applec

What an awesome idea….love it! This looks delicious and dangerous. I love salty-sweet! There’s a chance I’d eat the whole batch in record time!

Yes, salt and sweet is definitely dangerous for sure. That is what always gets me!
