Leprechaun Bait with White Chocolate
If your family likes white chocolate, you can put a melted spin on this snack mix. Melt one package of white chocolate candy in a separate bowl. After your dry ingredients are mixed well, add the melted chocolate and toss to evenly coat. Spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet until the chocolate hardens.
This is similar to one of our favorite holiday treats from the Celebration menu plan – White Chocolate Snack Mix!

This was a fun recipe. They now make the lucky charms marshmallows in a separate bag at the grocery stores now so was super yummy.

So glad you enjoyed the recipe! The marshmallows are the best part. I would probably eat the entire bag by myself!
