- ½ cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- ½ cup Easter candy (such as M&Ms, candy-coated chocolate eggs, or Jelly Beans – optional)

Instructions

Pop the Popcorn:
In a large pot or popcorn maker, pop the popcorn kernels according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Place the popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no unpopped kernels. -
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and completely melted. -
Add Vanilla and Mix:
Once the white chocolate mixture is melted, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (optional) for flavor. -
Coat the Popcorn:
Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the popcorn, gently stirring to coat all of the popcorn evenly with the white chocolate. -
Add the Funfetti Sprinkles:
While the popcorn is still sticky, immediately add the pastel-colored sprinkles, mini marshmallows (if using), and any Easter candy (optional). Stir to combine, ensuring everything sticks to the popcorn. -
Cool and Set:
Spread the popcorn mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Serve and Enjoy:
Once the popcorn is completely cooled and set, break it into pieces and serve. Enjoy your Bunny Bait Funfetti Popcorn!
