Tips and Tricks for Making Easter Trail Mix
There are a few flavors available of Annie’s Bunny Cookies. I used the snickerdoodle flavor and it was amazing. Of course, any of the other flavors would work as well.
The smaller items will want to settle down further into the mix. If you are displaying it, save some of the colorful candies and sprinkle them on top for a cuter display. If putting these in snack bags, you’ll simply want to make sure it’s distributed evenly between them.
The great thing about this snack is that you can adjust it to fit your preferences. For example, you can swap out the chocolate chips for just plain white chocolate chips or swap the dried cherries for raisins. It’s totally up to you. Have fun with it!
How to Store Easter Trail Mix
Keep in a cool, dry place so the chocolate doesn’t melt. Seal it in an airtight bag or container and it will keep for around 2-4 weeks.
