Ingredients
Scale
- 18 oz white almond bark
- 6 oz white almond bark
- 8 cups rice chex cereal
- 3 cups rice chex cereal
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 5–10 drops green food coloring
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup gold sanding sugar
Instructions
- Line two large half-sheet pans with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
- Place 8 cups of Rice Chex cereal into a very large mixing bowl.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 18 ounces of chopped almond bark and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter. Microwave for 60 seconds, stir, and continue in 30-second bursts until smooth.
- Stir in green food coloring until the mixture reaches your desired ‘clover’ green shade.
- Pour the green mixture over the 8 cups of cereal. Fold gently until every piece is covered.
- Add the powdered sugar to the bowl and fold for 3-5 minutes until the green shows through and the pieces are dry and separated. Spread on the first sheet pan.
- Place 3 cups of Rice Chex in a separate mixing bowl.
- Melt the remaining 6 ounces of almond bark in the microwave until smooth.
- Pour the melted bark over the cereal and stir until coated. Spread onto the second sheet pan.
- Immediately sprinkle the gold sanding sugar over the wet white cereal, tossing gently to cover all sides.
- Let both pans sit for 30-60 minutes (or refrigerate for 15 minutes) until set. Break apart any clumps and combine the green and gold pieces in a large serving bowl.
Notes
Make sure to stir gently to avoid breaking the cereal pieces.
