Commonly Asked Questions
How long does Bunny Bait stay fresh?
Bunny Bait stays fresh for up to a week if stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also refrigerate it for extra freshness.
Can I use different types of cereal?
Absolutely! Feel free to swap out the cereal for your favorites. Rice or corn-based cereals work best for that light, crunchy texture.
What if I don’t have coconut oil?
You can skip the coconut oil, but it helps the white chocolate coat the mix more evenly. A tiny bit of vegetable oil works as a substitute.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can make Bunny Bait a few days in advance. Just store it in a sealed container to keep it crisp and delicious.
