This leprechaun snack mix is a sweet blend of white chocolate muddy buddies, rainbow marshmallows and green M&M candies. Kids absolutely adore this fun and festive snack! It does require a little work to separate out the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms cereal box and the green M&M’s from a mixed bag, but my girls had the best time doing the sorting for me.

If you don’t want to take the time to sort out the marshmallows and M&M’s, you can actually buy just the cereal marshmallows on Amazon, and many stores sell single colors of M&M’s, or you can use the mint variety which typically comes in shades of green.

Do you make a special St. Patrick’s Day recipe every year out of tradition? I’d love to hear about it in the comments below.

Leprechaun Snack Mix

Serves 8

  • 4 1/2 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup rainbow marshmallows such as Lucky Charms Marshmallows
  • 1 cup green M&M candies

Place the white chocolate chips and butter in a large bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until melted. Stir until smooth.

Pour the cereal into the white chocolate and gently stir to coat evenly.

Pour the cereal mixture into a gallon sized resealable bag. Add the powdered sugar to the bag and shake to coat. Spread the chex onto a sheet pf parchment paper and let dry.

In a large bowl, mix together the white chocolate chex, marshmallows and M&Ms. Serve

      We aren’t Irish, but our son’s favorite color is green. Green food coloring on his favorite foods is always a hit!

      My husband is Irish, so St. Patrick’s Day is our jam! This is an awesome round up of goodies to help celebrate the holiday. I think we’ll kick off the day with those rainbow doughnuts. So cute!

      There’s something amazing about St. Patrick’s Day themed meals. I’d be interested in the Guinness Pulled Pork, and that coffee and Bailey’s Cake!
