Leprechaun Bait Snack Mix is a sweet and salty snack mix made with Chex and Lucky Charms cereals, pretzels, peanuts, M&M's candies and then topped of with white chocolate. You are guaranteed to catch ALL of the leprechauns with this recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (66g) Corn or Rice Chex Cereal
- 2 cups (72g) Lucky Charms Cereal
- 1 1/2 cups (50g) pretzels (I used small twists but sticks also work well.)
- 1 cup (125g) salted peanuts
- 1 cup (160g) white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
- 1 cup (170g) M&M’s candies
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with parchment or waxed paper. If you don't have either, you can spray the dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In an extra large bowl or pot, mix together cereals, pretzels, peanuts and half of the M&M’s candies. You will be adding the rest of the M&M's at the end.
- Add white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening to a glass bowl or measuring cup. Microwave chips and shortening in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted.
- Pour melted white chocolate into the cereal mixture and mix until everything looks evenly coated.
- Pour the snack mix evenly into the baking dish and cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the other half of the M&M’s over the snack mix.
- Break the mix apart, serve and enjoy!
