SAY HELLO TO SNACK TIME, LETS MAKE THE CHEX MIX!

First, line your counter with parchment paper. We will come back to this. In a large mixing bowl, add in Lucky Charms, Chex cereal, m&m’s, peanuts and pretzels. Mix it all together and set aside. In a medium sized, microwave safe bowl, add the shortening and almond bark.

Melt the shortening and almond bark in the microwave in 20sec increments. Stirring each time until smooth. Add a few drops of green food coloring to the almond bark if you want it to be festive for St. Patrick’s Day! The almond bark will continue cooking even outside of the microwave so keep an eye on it, you do not want it to burn.

Now it’s time to work fast! Pour the almond bark on top of the chex mix. Toss it all together until it is completely covered. Finally, pour the mixture onto the parchment paper, gently pat the clumps down and top with sprinkles. Let it cool for up to 30 minutes. Good luck trying to keep your paws off this lucky charms chex mix. It is delicious!
