Leprechaun Bait Recipe
Making something special for any holiday is a must in our book. That’s why we love this leprechaun bait recipe. The dessert snack mix is sweet and salty, super crunchy and the kids can help make it. The bits of green make it perfect for St. Patrick’s Day and everything is bite-sized for poppable snacking!
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn Chex or similar crispy cereal
- 2 cups Salty Butterscotch OMG! Pretzels
- 1-1/2 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 3/4 cups green M&M’s or other candy-coated chocolate, divided
- 1 (11-ounce) bag white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine Chex, Salty Butterscotch OMG! Pretzels, Lucky Charms and half of the green M&M’s.
- Add the white chocolate chips to a medium microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and microwave for another 25 seconds. Add in the coconut oil. Stir until melted and smooth. If necessary, return to the microwave a little longer in 10-second intervals.
- Pour the melted and smooth white chocolate over the snack mix.
- Gently stir until completely combined, then transfer to the prepared sheet pan and spread into an even layer.
- Add remaining M&M’s on top.
- Allow the leprechaun bait to harden at room temperature or place in the fridge until firm, about 10–20 minutes.
- Break into pieces and serve. PRO TIP: If you’re gifting this no-bake St. Patrick’s Day treat, put individual servings in cellophane bags and tie it up with green ribbon. Make it silly by adding a little riddle or rhyme “from the leprechaun” to the bags.
