    I have always really loved Easter because our family is so big and there are so many children. We still do Easter egg hunts and make the kids Easter baskets.

    It is just so much fun! This Kid's Trail Mix Recipe for Easter is really fun and incredibly easy to make, making it the perfect easy dessert for your family’s Easter dinner celebration. You can even have the kids make it while you are getting Easter dinner ready, because it is so easy to make.

    Why Make This Kid's Trail Mix Recipe for Easter?

    Let's get real, Easter is kinda cancelled on a big scale. Easter is going to be super tough this year, what with the Corona Virus STAY HOME order in effect…while my parents live only ½ a mile away, and I can easily go see them, we can’t gather in crowds larger than 10, and our family is over 10 without even counting all of the grand kids or spouses, let alone cousins or grandparents.

    Let the kids make this DIY Easter Bunny Banner!

    How will you spend the Easter holiday during the Corona Virus outbreak?

    We will likely all spend Easter alone in our own homes, except maybe for me and one of my sisters who doesn’t have any children – I MAY go to my parents. I don't even know if that is safe, as my parents are older...

    Everything is just so uncertain right now, with the main priority of course being that everyone to avoid each another and remaining healthy. What better time than now for us all to hunker down in our kitchens and try something new to make the holiday a little more exciting?

    Microwave your candy melts for 60 seconds at 50% power, then knead the bag well. If there are still chunks of of the candy, microwave it again at 30 second increments at 50% power until it is completely smooth. Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle the melted candy onto the tray of popcorn.

    Repeat with each of the remaining colors of candy melts, one at a time.

    Sprinkle with sprinkles. Set the candy coated popcorn mixture aside to harden. You can put it in the fridge, but it really isn't necessary - it will harden enough on its own with the room temperature air in your kitchen! It doesn't need cold. 

    Add all of your pretzels, candies and grahams into a mixing bowl and mix it all up well.

    I know that many people still like to print out recipes and keep them in a recipe binder, or simply have the printed recipe sitting in front of them when it comes time to cook! 

    Sometimes it is just easier to go off a recipe when it is printed right in front of you. Who wants to swipe their screen on their phone or tablet when their hands are greasy? So I love offering this option as well!
