– Begin by popping 8 cups of popcorn using an air popper. Ensure that there are no unpopped kernels.

– Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl and set it aside.

– In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter.

– Once the butter has melted, add 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of light corn syrup, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the saucepan.

– Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.

– Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then remove it from the heat.

– Quickly stir in 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda until it is evenly incorporated into the mixture. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up.

– Pour the hot caramel sauce over the popped popcorn in the mixing bowl, ensuring that it is evenly coated.

– Immediately after coating the popcorn with the caramel sauce, add 1 cup of miniature marshmallows, 1 cup of mini chocolate eggs, and 1 cup of broken pretzel sticks to the bowl.

– Gently toss the mixture until the marshmallows, chocolate eggs, and pretzels are evenly distributed throughout the popcorn.

– Spread the Bunny Bait mixture out onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring that it is spread out in an even layer.

– Allow the mixture to cool and the caramel to set for about 15-20 minutes.

– Once the Bunny Bait has cooled and the caramel has set, break it into clusters and transfer it to a serving bowl or individual bags.
