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

Directions

In a large bowl, combine cereals, pretzels, M&M's and Lucky Charms marshmallows; set aside.
Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave 1 minute at 50% power; stir. Microwave in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is completely melted.
Add melted chocolate to dry ingredients; stir to thoroughly combine. Spread mixture into an even layer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with green and gold sanding sugar. Let sit until white chocolate hardens, 15-20 minutes. Break up the leprechaun bait into smaller pieces before serving.
