Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups corn chex cereal
- 2 cups lucky charms cereal
- 2 cups tiny pretzel twists
Wet Ingredients
- 10 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon rainbow jimmies sprinkles
- 1 tablespoon gold sanding sugar
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Combine cereals and pretzels: In a large bowl, add corn chex cereal, lucky charms cereal, and tiny pretzel twists. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly, then set aside.
- Melt white chocolate: Place the white chocolate melting wafers into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth without lumps.
- Coat the mixture: Pour the melted white chocolate evenly over the combined cereal and pretzel mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated with the chocolate.
- Spread and decorate: Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the top with rainbow jimmies and gold sanding sugar to add color and festive flair.
- Set the mixture: Allow the snack mix to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes, until the chocolate coating has fully solidified.
- Serve: Once set, break the mixture into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- If white chocolate melting wafers are unavailable, white chocolate chips can be substituted but may require careful melting to avoid burning.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure both cereals and pretzels are certified gluten-free.
- Store the Leprechaun Bait in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Feel free to swap the toppings for other colorful sprinkles to match different themes or celebrations.
