My family’s Sponge Cake is just barely sweet, light with little pockets of air throughout. Enjoy it on it’s own for snack, afternoon tea, or dessert, or sweeten it with fresh fruit and whipped cream.

Chex cereal, Cheerios and pretzels are tossed with kids’ favorites (M&Ms and marshmallows!) and covered with a vanilla candy coating and springtime sprinkles to create this Cottontail Chex Mix, a festive snack that’s hard to stop at just one handful.

Looking for a springtime sweet to brighten up a kid’s lunchbox? Or perhaps it’s something festive to enjoy as an after school snack or to serve while entertaining? This is it!
Just a handful of ingredients – many of which are probably already in your pantry if you have little ones in the house – and only a few minutes to assemble. The only special ingredient is seasonal sprinkles. The Chex Mix will need to set for about 30 minutes, but the hands-on time with this recipe is minimal.
My taste-testers loved this recipe. My son was pretty obsessed actually, melting down when I wouldn’t refill his bowl. I even caught my husband sneaking handfuls when he thought I wasn’t looking.
In case you haven’t been following along, I just wanted to remind you about a couple of fun #SpringSweetsWeek things.
Finally, be sure to check out the other recipes that went live this morning:
Chex cereal, Cheerios and pretzels are tossed with kids favorites (M&Ms and marshmallows!) and covered with a vanilla candy coating and springtime sprinkles to create this Cottontail Chex Mix, a festive snack that's hard to stop at just one handful.
Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper and set aside.
In a very large bowl (I actually used a stock pot because my bowls were not quite big enough), combine Chex, Cheerios, crushed pretzels, mini marshmallows and candy. Toss to mix.
Melt candy melts in the microwave according to instructions on package. Pour half over Chex mix and with a rubber spatula, start mixing in. When mixed in as best as possible, add remaining melted candy melts and mix to combine.
Turn out onto prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Scatter sprinkles evenly over top of the Chex Mix.
Allow the whole mixture to set for 30 minutes. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container if not enjoying immediately.
