Before we jump in to this leprechaun chow recipe, let me explain why I really think this is the “best leprechaun bait” recipe:

1. Chex Mix over Chex Cereal – Chex mix provides more crunch and flavor than Chex cereal which is exactly what we want in our snack mix recipe.
2. Easter M&Ms over Mint M&Ms – Mint flavor has a time and a place.  For me, leprechaun bait isn’t the time or the place. Plus, the pretty colors that make up Easter M&Ms complement the Lucky Charms marshmallows perfectly.
