Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients and Workspace: Begin by gathering all the ingredients and preparing your workspace to ensure a smooth assembly process.
- Set Up Mixing Bowl: Place a medium-sized mixing bowl on the countertop, ensuring there is enough room for all ingredients.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Add Peanut Butter: Stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined with the melted white chocolate.
- Incorporate Honey: Add honey to the mixture, stirring thoroughly to blend all flavors together evenly.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Pour in vanilla extract and stir again to evenly distribute the flavor within the mixture.
- Prepare Pretzels and Add: Break pretzels into smaller pieces, then gently fold them into the chocolate mixture to coat them evenly.
- Add Coconut and Marshmallows: Mix in shredded coconut and mini marshmallows carefully to ensure even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Fold in Candy Coated Chocolates: Carefully fold in the pastel candy-coated chocolate pieces, taking care not to break them.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to form the snacks upon.
- Form Snack Portions: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out small amounts of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet.
- Shape Snacks: Gently press each portion to form small mounds or rounded shapes for an Easter egg appearance.
- Allow to Set: Let the snacks set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for quicker firming.
- Transfer and Store: Once firm, remove the snacks from the baking sheet and place them on a serving platter or store in an airtight container.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately or keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For faster setting, refrigerate the snacks for 10-15 minutes instead of letting them set at room temperature.
- Be gentle when folding in candy-coated chocolates to avoid breaking them.
- If you prefer a nuttier flavor, consider using crunchy peanut butter.
- These snacks are best consumed within 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container but avoid humid environments to prevent melting or sogginess.
