Share on social media

I couldn’t wait to share this Lucky Charms Snack Mix here on the blog. It turned out so cute, and so delicious, too! We love a good sweet and salty snack mix, and this Lucky Charms version puts a fun twist on chex mix! St. Patrick’s Day is March 17th, so add this lucky rainbow chex mix to your to-do list! It’s perfect for snacking, or makes a great addition to your school party, St. Patrick’s Day party, or family movie night. I recommend the Disney classic, Luck of the Irish.

Why we love this recipe-

• This St. Patrick’s Day Snack Mix is the perfect sweet treat for afterschool or lunch boxes.
• It’s easy enough that the kids can help make it, too! A fun way to spend a little extra time together making a fun treat.
• We love a good snack mix recipe for every holiday. This one is so festive!
• The combination of salty pretzels, crunchy chex, and sweet Lucky Charms marshmallows is so yummy in this holiday snack mix.

Lucky Charms Snack Mix Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups mini pretzels
• 1 1/2 cups Rice Chex Cereal
• 1/2 cup green M&M candies (we used the green mint M&M candies!)
• 2 cups Lucky Charms marshmallows (you don’t have to order anything special, just use the marshmallows from your box of Lucky Charms)
• 1 cup Lucky Charms cereal
• 12 oz. white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup green sprinkles

Directions:

Step 1: Line a large cookie sheet or baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2: Layer onto the parchment paper the pretzels, rice chex, M&Ms, Lucky Charms marshmallows, and Lucky Charms cereal.

Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips on 30 second intervals, stirring well in between, until chocolate is melted.

Step 4: Drizzle half of the white chocolate over the cereal mixture, then toss.

Step 5: Drizzle the remaining half of the chocolate over the mix, and toss again.

Step 6: Sprinkle with green sprinkles.

Step 7: Allow the mix to set, until chocolate solidifies. You can leave it right on the counter, or chill in the refrigerator.

Step 8: Break the mix until chunks, and serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to enjoy.

Substitutions & Tips:

• You can swap the white chocolate chips for white vanilla almond bark- it is easier to melt and work with, and tastes great, too.
• You can use any chex cereal that you prefer- corn chex is also a great option!
• Though not required, you can purchase just lucky charms marshmallows. And, there are new puffy mini marshmallows shaped like the Lucky Charms originals, as well.
