St. Patrick's Day Trail Mix

St. Patrick's Day means bakers go all out on the green food.😀

 Today (St. Patty's Day) I'm bringing you a suuuuper easy "trail mix" that's great for a last minute treat. Only four ingredients:

Candy melts
Pretzel sticks
Mini marshmallows &
Lucky Charms!

This is really addicting too - it's crunchy, soft, and sweet at the same time. 

It seriously couldn't get easier. I mixed two cups of each ingredient together in a large bowl. Then it's time for the chocolate! There are green candy melts at craft stores, but at the grocery store I could only find white ones. So once I had melted it, I added in some Wilton Leaf Green gel food coloring to make it festive. 💚

Once it was all combined, I put it in the fridge to harden, but not for too long because the marshmallows would go stale. You could just leave it out at room temperature, but I'm impatient. 😂

Happy St. Patrick's Day!🍀

St. Patrick's Day Trail Mix

Ingredients

• 2 cups of pretzels that are broken in half (easier to work with)
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 2 cups Lucky Charms
• 1.5 cups candy melts, white or green
• Green gel food coloring (optional)

Directions

1. Toss your pretzels, marshmallows, and Lucky Charms together in a large bowl and set aside.
2. In a microwave safe dish, melt your candy melts - the 1.5 cups solid will reduce to about 1 cup liquid (that's what we want)! Melt in 30 second intervals, stirring between. Mine took about two rounds plus an extra fifteen seconds.
3. If you want, mix in some green gel food coloring until the color is evenly distributed in the chocolate.
4. Pour the chocolate over the mix in the bowl, then mix with a spoon until it's all chocolate-coated.
5. Cover and put in the fridge for about fifteen minutes, or just let it sit out at room temperature to harden.
6. Enjoy!
