1/2 cup white frosting
1/2 cup green frosting
1/2 cup white candy melts or white chocolate chips divided
1 Tablespoons shortening if needed
4 cups Chex cereal Feel free to use either Rice Chex cereal or Corn Chex – both work!
1 cup powdered sugar
Mint M&Ms
Shamrock sprinkles

To Prep: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.
Combine white frosting and 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (or white candy melts) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20 second increments, stirring between, until melted and smooth. If needed, you can add a teaspoon of shortening or coconut oil to soften the mixture.
Fold 2 cups of Chex cereal into the bowl and stir until all cereal pieces are coated in the white chocolate frosting mixture.
Pour 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar into a large gallon zip-top bag, then scoop in the white candy-coated cereal. Seal the bag and shake well until all of the cereal is coated with sugar.
Open the bag and shake out the cereal onto your prepared baking sheet, then repeat the process with green frosting to make the same amount of green Chex mix.
