Serve or Package: Pour the trail mix into a large serving bowl or divide it into treat bags for gifting. Tie the bags with pastel ribbons for a cute Easter-themed presentation.

Variations

Healthier Option: Swap the candies for dried fruits like cranberries, apricots, or raisins. Use whole-grain crackers for a healthier twist.
Nut-Free Version: If you’re making this for a nut-free crowd, skip any candy-coated almonds or chocolate eggs that contain nuts.
Chocolate Lovers: Add white chocolate chips, mini chocolate eggs, or chocolate-covered pretzels for an extra indulgent treat.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free bunny-shaped crackers and pretzels to make the mix safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
