Get ready for the cutest Easter dessert that will be ready in just minutes with only 3 ingredients! These Easter Bunny Pretzel Bites are so simple – just melt, place three pastel M&Ms, and you’re set!

Easiest (and Cutest!) Easter Treat!
I’ve made a lot of Easter dessert recipes over the years, but these bunny pretzel bites are a real keeper! They’re not only SO easy to make, making them perfect for easy recipes for kids, but they are soooo cute!
Why It’s Called Pretzel Bites
And they don’t call them pretzel bites for nothing! You just pop one in your mouth, which means it’s a less messy handheld treat that is perfect for parties.
Whether you’re making this Easter dessert for a party or just looking for easy recipes for kids, these Easter Bunny Pretzel Bites are IT! They’re one of the cutest, easiest Easter desserts around.
Just Call Me a Pretzel Bites Pro!
I have made so many mini pretzel bites over the years. From Easter Chick Pretzels, Spring Flower Pretzels, Shamrock Pretzel Pops, Valentine’s Flower Pretzels, 4th of July Flag Pretzels, and back-to-school apple pretzels, I’ve been around the block.
And because I have made so many mini pretzel desserts, I know exactly how long to bake them in my oven and how quickly to remove them. I have ALL the tips!
You have to add the M&M’s fast because the warm candy melts will harden quickly. I honestly don’t mind the rush because it kicks my tail (or should I say bunny tail J/K) into gear to start assembling my M&M’s quickly.
Skip that Viral Bunny M&M Cookie
Yup, I said it! 😉 Instead of struggling with the viral Easter bunny M&M cookies, try these Easter Bunny Pretzel Bites! Trust me, I even tried making those cookies myself, and the ears just don’t stick well in the dough, and the cookie dough is SO hot the M&M’s melt.
I posted my fail video on Instagram, and a lot of my followers said they were on the struggle bus too!
These bunny pretzel bites are the opposite! The candy melts act like the perfect “glue,” securely holding the M&Ms in place on the mini pretzels.
Seriously, this is one of the easiest easter desserts you’ll ever make – so easy, you’ll be saying, “this is almost TOO easy!”
How to Make Bunny Pretzel Bites
Simply top mini butter snap pretzels with candy melts, give them a quick bake to soften, and then arrange three pastel M&Ms into bunny shapes: one lying flat for the face and two on their side for the ears. Honestly… the hardest part about making these pretzel bites is NOT sneaking all the M&M’s because they’re just that good!
These Wilton Melting Chocolate White Candy Melts are my go-to, and they come in different colors! I use them for ALL my pretzel desserts that call for candy melts!
Perfect for Any Spring Occasion
These M&M Easter bunny pretzel bites are a guaranteed hit and an easy dessert recipe idea for Spring Desserts, Easter Treats, Kid-Friendly Baking Fun, and Classroom Parties.
Storage for Easter Bunny Pretzel Bites
Keep your mini Easter bunny pretzel bites fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a few days.
For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag and thaw at room temperature before serving. These pretzel bites are also great to make ahead.

I dont think candy melts taste good do you have a suggestion for a way to use white chocolate ?
You’re right, white chocolate does taste even better than candy melts. But you would be surprised, candy melts taste good too! I recently saw some flavored candy melts at Walmart— like fun flavors like banana, marshmallows, etc. You can always melt it and place it in a piping bag and immediately pipe on each pretzel. Because it will harden quickly, you will want to quickly add your M&M’s on top. In the spirit of being an easier dessert, I would still vote for team candy melts!
So cute! Where do you get the white chocolate melts?
SO glad you asked! These Wilton Melting Chocolate White Candy Melts are my absolute favorite go to from Walmart! https://walmrt.us/4i3O8bk
What kind of white chocolate did you use? It’s so hard to find white chocolate circles :/
