Leprechauns are known for their love of gold, but what if we told you there’s a new type of bait that they just can’t resist?
Introducing the latest and greatest in leprechaun luring – Leprechaun Bait made green Muddy Buddies! Not only is it a fun and tasty snack, but it’s also a fun and festive addition to any St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Just leave a trail of this sweet and crunchy mix, and who knows – you might just catch a glimpse of a leprechaun in action.
Recipe Notes:
How can I store this leprechaun bait? I recommend storing it in a sealed container or gallon-size Ziplock
bags at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Lucky Charm Clusters is a limited-edition cereal (at Target) so if you cannot find it you can use the original Lucky Charms.
Here is a simple muddy buddies recipe that we use for the holidays but for this just use all green and omit the red food coloring.
- Use green food coloring to tint the melted chocolate or peanut butter a festive green color.
- Add green candies, like M&Ms or green sprinkles, to the mix.
- Incorporate green-colored ingredients like green pretzels or green-dyed coconut flakes.
- Add Chex mix in the ziploc bags or even fun buckets for a fun presentation. Print out the fun free printable to create a fun treat for classmates or friends.
