Chocolate and mint is one of my favorite flavor combinations! Well, let’s be honest here…chocolate pretty much pairs perfectly with everything! This Chocolate Mint Shamrock Mix makes a delicious St. Patrick’s Day snack mix. It takes just a few minutes to put together, no baking required and it’s great for a family movie night! What if you don’t like chocolate and mint together? No problem! Substitute the mint chocolate bar here with a plain chocolate bar (or semi-sweet chocolate chips) and the Mint Oreos for plain Oreos.

St. Patrick’s Day Snack Mix:

How does your family celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? Do you wear green? Eat a special Irish meal? Enjoy green drinks while watching movies? Build a leprechaun trap? Have Lucky Charms for breakfast? I am part Irish but I must admit that we don’t do much to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I’ll wear green but that’s about the extent of it. When it comes to this Chocolate Shamrock Snack Mix though, this is tasty enough to enjoy all year long!

Chocolate Mint St. Patrick's Day Snack Mix

Ingredients for Chocolate Shamrock Mix

  • 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cups mint chocolate bar, broken into pieces (about 4, 41g Aero Peppermint bars)
  • 1 cup broken Mint Oreo pieces
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • ½ cup green candy coated chocolates

The best part about the chocolate mint shamrock mix is that it requires no baking. Don’t get me wrong if you have followed my blog long enough you know I love to bake but something about fullfilling your sweet tooth without turning on the oven is even more rewarding.
