Easter Bunny Marshmallow Popcorn Bars



These ooey gooey Easter Bunny Marshmallow Popcorn Bars are simple and fun to make and put a festive spin on the traditional rice krispie treats!

Treasured traditions are what keep a family together. Easter is a perfect time to celebrate the joy of family, the beginning of spring and make lasting memories that build on your traditions.

In my home, we have many traditions and Easter is one of my favorite times of the year when we observe some of those traditions. With cute little bunnies, the traditional Easter basket, Easter egg coloring and cooking, I can’t help but love it. As a mother of all boys, I have to keep things interesting. We all know that growing boys love to eat. And man, do they love to eat! So I always try and have an Easter feast for the family which usually includes ham, deviled eggs, homemade mashed potatoes, casseroles, and sweet treats.

Each year, I also try to find a new Easter sweet treat to make. I like to dabble in new recipes every now and then and no matter how old the kids get, they just love sweet treats!

This year, I got a recipe for rice krispie treats bars from a friend and I thought it was perfect to make for Easter. It sounded really yummy but I wanted to give it my own twist and used popcorn instead instead of the rice krispies. Let’s face it, we all love popcorn… and who doesn’t like marshmallows?

I bought most of my ingredients at my local grocery store but if you shop on Amazon, they have a similar cute Easter and spring themed icing decorations and sprinkles like this Easter Bunny with Carrot Royal Icing, Spring Medley Sprinkles and Pink Candy Melts.

These popcorn bars are best eaten the same day they are made while the popcorn is still fresh and crunchy. If you want to store leftovers,  use an airtight container and store for up to 3 days, although I don’t guarantee the popcorn will stay crunchy.

If you like getting the whole family involved in making sweet treats around the kitchen, this is one great way to do that. The kids will enjoy making these sweet, ooey gooey sweet treats and will make for a great bonding time with the family!

These delicious and festive popcorn dessert bars will wow your guests at your next Easter or spring-themed get together or party! Planning a movie night at home anytime soon? These popcorn bars are  perfect as movie night munchies too!

I hope you enjoy these Easter Bunny Marshmallow Popcorn Bars as much as we do! Come back to this post and comment after you’ve made this recipe yourself.  I would love to see your own creation! 🙂
