Ingredients

2 cups Rice Chex

2 cups Lucky Charms cereal

1-1/2 cups miniature pretzels

1/2 cup green milk chocolate M&M's

1/2 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows

12 ounces white chocolate chips

1/2 teaspoon green sanding sugar

1/2 teaspoon gold sanding sugar

Instructions

1 Combine the dry ingredients

2 In a large bowl, combine the Chex, Lucky Charms, miniature pretzels, M&M's and extra Lucky Charms marshmallows. Set aside.

3 Melt the white chocolate

4 Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them in the microwave. Start with one minute at 50% power, then stir. Continue cooking in 15- to 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.

5 Stir to combine

6 Add the melted chocolate to the dry ingredients and stir to combine thoroughly.

7 Spread into an even layer and let harden

8 Spread the mixture into an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle with green and gold sanding sugar. Let it sit until the white chocolate hardens, 15 to 20 minutes. Then, break the leprechaun bait into smaller pieces before serving. Editor's Tip: Once the white chocolate has been stirred in, work quickly to spread the mixture on the baking sheet. It begins to harden fairly quickly.
