Ingredients You Need
- Pretzels – For the best results, we highly recommend using square pretzel snaps.
- Candy Melts – Use white chocolate candy melts to act as a “glue” holding the M&Ms to the pretzels. If preferred, white chocolate almond bark will also work.
- M&Ms – We opt for pastel-colored M&Ms to keep these bunny pretzels super festive, but any color will work.
- Food Marker – Find food markers online, in the baking section of your local grocery store, or at select craft stores.
How to Make No-Bake Easter Bunny Pretzels
- Arrange nine to ten pretzel snaps on a wax paper-lined microwave-safe plate.
- Top each pretzel with one white candy melt.
- Melt the candy in the microwave until is soft and partially melted. It shouldn’t be so melted that the chocolate is dripping through the pretzel!
- Press a whole M&M on top of each candy melt. Then, add two halves to make ears.
- Set the pretzels aside on a plate or parchment paper-lined baking sheet to cool and set. Then, use the marker to draw eyes and a nose. Alternatively, you can use black food coloring gel to create black dots for the face.
- Serve, and enjoy your Easter pretzels!
Note: You can absolutely make more than ten bites. However, you want to work in batches, because the candy melts harden quickly!
How to Store
Once set, you can transfer leftover Easter bunny treats to an airtight container. They will stay safe at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes
You can make lots of these bunny treats with one bag each of pretzels, candy melts, and M&Ms. However, work in batches of 10 or less, because the candy melts set up quickly. If some of the candy melts do set up before you are able to add the M&Ms simply microwave again.
