Egg Hunt Easter Popcorn
This Easy Easter Popcorn is a light, fun, and festive Easter snack for kids. It’s quick to pull together, high in fibre thanks to the popcorn base, and lower in sugar than many Easter treats—perfect for last-minute plans or party prep.
I’m all for kids enjoying their Easter chocolate, but I also love finding ways to make those treats go a little further. Mixing mini eggs into a big bowl of popcorn turns just a few sweets into a playful, shareable snack that still feels special.
