Homemade Leprechaun Bait Snack Mix
This sweet and salty snack mix is a festive favorite that everyone in the family will love to munch on.
recipesbynani.comLeprechaun Bait is such a fun treat to whip up for St. Patrick's Day. It combines crunchy cereal with salty pretzels and sweet chocolate for a flavor combination that is hard to resist.
My best tip for this recipe is to let the chocolate set completely on a flat tray before you try to break it into pieces. This ensures you get those nice chunky clusters in every single handful.
🧺 Ingredients
- 4 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 2 cups small pretzel twists
- 1 cup green and gold chocolate candies
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon green decorative sprinkles
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper so the mix does not stick.
- 2
In a large bowl, toss together the Lucky Charms cereal, pretzels, and chocolate candies.
- 3
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl using thirty second intervals, stirring well between each turn until it is smooth.
- 4
Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture and stir gently with a spatula until everything is evenly coated.
- 5
Spread the mixture out onto your prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- 6
Immediately sprinkle the green decorative accents over the top while the chocolate is still wet.
- 7
Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for about thirty minutes until the chocolate is firm, then break it into small pieces to serve.
💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week to keep the cereal crunchy. You can also package these in small cellophane bags tied with a ribbon for cute party favors.
