I made this for my employees last year and they all LOVED it! They have asked for it every since! It is a great mix of everyone's favotite snacks! Very festive for St. Patrick's Day too! I'll be making it again this year!

I’m planning the St. Patrick’s Day party for my daughter’s class. I can’t wait to make these..they will be a hit with the kids! I found some cello candy bags from Box and Wrap that have shamrocks on the bags….so cute. It’s the extra special touches that make the party great. Thanks so much for the recipe.

I made this for my staff on St. Patrick's Day & they loved it! I went & got the ingredients on my lunch break & made it before my break was over! Very fast & easy! I could not find Chex at the local dollar store, so I used toasted oats. It was still really good!
