Leprechaun Bait

This sweet treat is perfect for serving with other St. Patrick’s Day desserts. And if you plan to go all-in on a St. Paddy’s Day feast, don’t forget the Irish beef stew, soda bread or the Irish-American favorite, corned beef and cabbage.

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

Directions

In a large bowl, combine cereals, pretzels, M&M's and Lucky Charms marshmallows; set aside.
Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave 1 minute at 50% power; stir. Microwave in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is completely melted.
Add melted chocolate to dry ingredients; stir to thoroughly combine. Spread mixture into an even layer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with green and gold sanding sugar. Let sit until white chocolate hardens, 15-20 minutes. Break up the leprechaun bait into smaller pieces before serving.
