Two cereals, a white chocolate coating and a handful of pastel candy. The cereal goes into a bowl, the melted chocolate goes over it, and a gentle fold coats everything without crushing it.
Spread on a lined sheet, the mix gets its bunny marshmallows and sprinkles immediately, while the coating is still tacky enough to hold them, then it sets and breaks apart.
Ingredient Notes
- Two cereals
- Four cups of toasted oat rings and four of puffed rice or corn, for two textures in the same handful.
- White chocolate
- Twelve ounces of melting wafers or white baking chocolate for the coating.
- Bunny-shaped marshmallow candies
- A cup and a half, added after spreading so they sit on the surface.
How to Make It
Sheet lined, cereals combined
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and combine the toasted oat cereal and puffed cereal in a large bowl.
White chocolate melted and poured
Melt the white chocolate gently until smooth, then pour it over the cereal.
Folded until lightly coated
Fold until the cereal is lightly and evenly coated.
Spread and topped straight away
Spread the mixture on the prepared sheet and immediately scatter over the bunny-shaped marshmallow candies and pastel sprinkles.
Set, then broken apart
Let the mix stand until the coating is fully set, then break apart any large clusters and serve.
What Fills the Ten Cups
Two cereals in equal measure, then coating and candy over the top.
- Toasted oat cereal rings4 cups
- Puffed rice or corn cereal4 cups
- Bunny-shaped marshmallow candies1 1/2 cups
- Pastel sprinkles2 tbsp
Twelve ounces of melted white chocolate coats all of it.
Success Tips
- Use a bowl larger than you think the cereal needs; folding is much gentler when the mix is not at the rim.
- Scatter the marshmallow candies within a minute of spreading, before the white coating loses its tack.
- Let the sheet stand at room temperature rather than chilling it, so the coating sets without sweating.
Why This Recipe Works
- Folding rather than stirring keeps the puffed cereal whole instead of snapping it into crumbs.
- A light coating, not a heavy one, lets the mix break into loose clusters rather than one solid sheet.
- Adding the candies while the coating is wet is what keeps them attached once it hardens.
Serving Ideas
Tip the broken clusters into a wide bowl so the pastel bunnies stay visible on top.
Storage and Reheating
Refrigerate
Keep the mix covered, dry and at room temperature; humidity softens both the coating and the cereal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a bark?
No. It is a tossed cereal mix broken into clusters, not a set chocolate slab.
