Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Chex cereal any variety
  • 1 cup pretzel sticks
  • 1 ½ cups Lucky Charms cereal
  • ⅔ cup green M&M’s
  • ½ cup Lucky Charms marshmallows picked from the box or purchased separately
  • 8 oz white chocolate almond bark

Method
 

  1. Melt the Magic – In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate almond bark for 1 minute. Stir well, then heat in 20-second intervals until completely melted and smooth.
  2. Mix the Goodies – In a large bowl, combine Chex cereal, pretzels, Lucky Charms cereal, and half of the M&M’s.
  3. Coat with Sweetness – Pour the melted chocolate over the mix and stir until everything is well coated.
  4. Set the Spell – Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the remaining M&M’s and Lucky Charms marshmallows on top before the chocolate sets.
  5. Let It Harden – Allow the mixture to set for about 1 hour until the chocolate is firm.
  6. Break and Enjoy – Once hardened, break into bite-sized pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week to keep it fresh.
  • Try using dark chocolate or colored candy melts for a fun twist.
  • Great for gifting—just package in festive bags or jars for a holiday treat.
