Description

A festive and colorful snack mix that’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any time you need a little extra magic! This sweet and salty combination is coated in creamy white chocolate and sprinkled with golden and green sparkle, making it an irresistible treat.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups Rice Chex
  • 2 cups Lucky Charms cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups miniature pretzels
  • 1/2 cup green milk chocolate M&M’s
  • 1/2 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon green sanding sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon gold sanding sugar

Instructions

1. Mix the Magic
In a large bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Lucky Charms cereal, pretzels, M&M’s, and Lucky Charms marshmallows. Set aside.

2. Melt the Gold
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute at 50% power, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15- to 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.

3. Coat and Combine
Pour the melted chocolate over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.

4. Set the Trap
Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer. Sprinkle with green and gold sanding sugar for an extra sparkle.

5. Let the Magic Happen
Allow the chocolate to harden for 15-20 minutes. Once set, break into bite-sized pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Customize It: Swap out M&M’s for your favorite chocolate candy or add peanuts for extra crunch.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Make It Festive: Use different colored sanding sugar to match different holidays or celebrations.
