Popcorn Easter Bunny Snack Bars Recipe

Popcorn Easter Bunny Snack Bars Recipe

Popcorn Easter Bunny Snack Bars RecipeThese Popcorn Easter Bunny Snack Bars would be the perfect homemade treat to add to those Easter baskets this year. They’re easy to make and each batch of the recipe will yield approximately 16 bars. The recipe is courtesy of our friends at Popcorn.org.

Tips from me: If you don’t want to make them in bar shape you could try using metal cookie cutters and doing Easter Egg and Bunny shapes too! Instead of storing them in an airtight container wrap them in pastel colored plastic wrap, or buy food-safe snack bags that are imprinted with an Easter design. You can typically pick up the bags on Amazon or a party supply store.

Popcorn Easter Bunny Snack Bars Recipe

2 tbsp butter
3 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows, divided
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 cups popped popcorn
1 1/2 cups candy-coated miniature eggs
2 tbsp pastel-colored sprinkles

Melt butter in large saucepan set over medium-low heat; stir in 3 cups marshmallows, and vanilla until melted. Remove from heat. Immediately stir in popcorn until well coated.

Press into parchment paper–lined and greased 13- x 9-inch baking pan; smooth top with greased spatula. Immediately sprinkle with remaining marshmallows, miniature eggs and sprinkles; press toppings lightly to adhere to popcorn layer. Let stand for about 30 minutes or until set.

Cut into bars. Store in airtight container.

Dollar Tree Tumbling Tower Blocks Easter Bunny Refrigerator Magnet

Dollar Tree Tumbling Tower Blocks Easter Bunny Refrigerator Magnet

These Easter Bunny refrigerator magnets are made with almost all supplies purchased at the Dollar Tree. The one shown in my photograph was made by my 13 year old granddaughter who did a great job! You can make several of them in one weekend. Below you’ll find a list of supplies and the how-to’s.

Dollar Tree Tumbling Tower Blocks Easter Bunny Refrigerator Magnet

Dollar Tree Shopping List – Tumbling Tower Wood Blocks (kid’s game aisle), white acrylic craft paint, black acrylic craft paint, pink acrylic craft paint, paint brushes, roll of burlap ribbon and a roll of pink satin ribbon.

If you want to make these refrigerator magnets with a group of younger children assemble the 3 blocks together and glue with Gorilla Glue ahead of time. You can pre-make the ears too. Then let the kids paint and assemble the magnet. You need to use commerical-grade craft magnets because of it’s weight once completed. You don’t want it sliding down every time the refrigerator door is open and closed.

Dollar Tree Tumbling Tower Blocks Easter Bunny Refrigerator Magnet

3 Tumbling Tower Wood Blocks
Acrylic Craft Paint – White, Black and Pink
Paint Brushes, Water Dish, Paper Towels
Roll of Burlap Ribbon
Roll of Pink Satin Ribbon
Gorilla Glue (use with adult supervision)
Hot Glue Gun and Glue Stick
Scissors
1 Piece Metal Florist Wire
Commerical-Grade Craft Magnets

Glue the 3 wood blocks together using Gorilla Glue. Let dry for 1-2 hours. Don’t use hot glue because it doesn’t hold as well. While it’s drying you can work on the bunny’s ears.

Cut tear-drop shaped ears from the burlap ribbon. Cut pieces from the pink satin ribbon to fit inside. You’ll need 2 pieces of metal florist wire slightly smaller than the burlap ribbon ears in length. Use hot glue to adhere the florist wire between the burlap and satin ribbon on each ear. This will help the ears to stand up and to be poseable. Let dry.

Paint the wood block with 2-3 coats of white acrylic craft paint allowing for 30 minutes of drying time between coats. Once the paint is dry add the 2 oval-shaped black eyes, pink heart-shaped nose, the black whiskers and mouth. Let dry for 30 minutes. Dot on the white paint for the inner eyes. Let dry until the paint is no longer tacky.

Use a hot glue gun (with adult supervision) to glue the pre-made ears to the top of the block. We slightly folded under a tiny bit on the bottom of each ear so that they would stand up. Cut a piece of pink satin ribbon and glue that around the neckline of the rabbit. Cut another piece of pink satin ribbon and tie it into a bow. Glue that into place.

Flip the entire thing over and use Gorilla Glue or a hot glue gun to glue on 2-4 commerical grade craft magnets. Let dry thoroughly. We can typically use 2 or 3 magnets for the majority of our Tumbling Blocks magnets.
