This "Bunny Munch" is a fun Easter treat! Made with caramelized popcorn that's been drizzled with two kinds of chocolate and tossed with pastel candies, it's a fun salty & sweet snack!

⅓cuppastel M&Ms
Instructions
Preheat oven to 250F (120C) and line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease with butter. Pour popcorn evenly over the pan, scatter almonds evenly over the pan, and place in center rack of preheated oven to keep warm while you prepare candy coating.
10 cups popcorn, unpopped kernels removed, ¾ cup whole almonds
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugars, corn syrup, and salt. Measure out vanilla extract and baking soda and set aside, but do not pour in pot.
½ cup unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup light corn syrup, ½ teaspoon salt
Heat butter/sugar mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and baking soda until completely combined.
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Remove popcorn from oven and pour caramel evenly over the popcorn. Use a spatula to toss to coat the popcorn and almonds as well as you can to coat them (you will not be able to coat completely, aim for 75%).
Return popcorn to oven and bake on 250F (120C) for 45 minutes, using a spatula to stir every 15 minutes.
Once finished baking, remove from oven.
Melt chopped chocolate in separate bowls and drizzle over the popcorn.
2 oz white chocolate, 2 oz dark chocolate
Drop candy pieces evenly over the popcorn. Allow chocolate to harden, undisturbed, before enjoying.
½ cup Cadbury eggs, ⅓ cup pastel M&Ms
