Lucky Charms St. Patrick’s Day Snack Mix


Lucky Charms Snack Mix at Sparkles of SunshineWhen I ran across a recipe for Lucky Rainbow Chex Mix last year, I just knew I had to give it a try. Lucky Charms are so delicious, so the thought of making a snack mix with them sounded like pure genius to me.  I made a batch for my husband to share with the guys at work, and it was a big hit.  I doubled the recipe and I couldn’t believe the entire huge bowl was eaten in just one day! We appropriately nicknamed it Leprechaun Crack because it is so addicting!  This year I decided to make a couple of changes because, well…who doesn’t love more sugar? Powdered sugar, to be exact!  Yes, it was a really big hit and the bowl was eaten in one day again.  I am so happy to share this tasty recipe with you today, but heed my warning.  Do not make this recipe if aren’t serious and consuming some major calories!

Lucky Charms Snack Mix for St. Patrick's Day at Sparkles of SunshineFor this Lucky Charms Snack Mix Recipe you will need the following:

  • 6 cups of Chex Rice Cereal (I used a generic brand)
  • 1 box of Lucky Charms Cereal
  • 24 oz. Vanilla Almond Bark
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • Green food coloring
  • Large Ziploc bag
  • Colored sprinkles (if desired)

Directions:

First, pour the Lucky Charms Cereal onto a large cookie sheet and pick out all of the marshmallows and set them aside.  There should be about 2 cups of them. Resist the temptation to devour them all in one sitting!
