I always have so much fun when it comes to creating treats, crafts, and fun activities around the holidays that come throughout the year for my kids. These Lucky Charm Treat Bars are no different! When I saw the Limited Edition St. Patrick’s Day Lucky Charms cereal in the store I knew I needed to make something fun with them with my girls. This delicious white chocolate dipped treat is so easy to make that your kids can help too.
We got extra creative using green food coloring and green sprinkles to make these the perfect color St. Pattys day dessert bars. The rule is to wear green on St. Patricks Day so you don’t get pinched and I think eating something green adds extra protection from those pesky little Leprechaun pinches. By the time these bars cool and harden you’ll definitely be saying “They’re after my Lucky Charms!”
