Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 cups each of Rice Chex cereal and Frosted Cheerios. Use a wooden spoon to gently mix the cereals, ensuring an even distribution. Set the bowl aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, place 1 pound of vanilla almond bark. Microwave it for 1 minute, then stir. Continue heating in 15-30 second increments until melted and smooth.
  3. Pour the melted almond bark over the cereal mixture. With a spatula, gently fold the cereals into the chocolate, ensuring every piece is evenly coated.
  4. Fold in the colorful Easter M&Ms and Cadbury Mini Eggs. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to break the candies.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly onto a large piece of wax paper. Allow to cool at room temperature until fully set, about 1 hour.
  6. Once set, break the mixture into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a serving bowl or package for gifts.
