Well, I have finally been hit with some St. Patrick's Day inspiration! It is March for Pete's sake, Keri. So, while you won't be seeing green (for that see Pistachio Fluff), I DO have some super fun rainbow stuff to share with you.  Like easy Rainbow Snack Mix! Perfect for kids, perfect for adults, sweet & salty and delicious!!
Easy Rainbow Snack Mix
It's so colorful and I love the additional of fluffy white marshmallow 'clouds'! Because marshmallows. YUM! The mix of sweet and salty is pretty perfect, too. Every now and then, a Goldfish pops up with that little hit of salt. And a Goldfish with a marshmallow? Money. Trust me!
Easy Rainbow Snack Mix
Ingredients
- Trix cereal
- Froot Loops cereal

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together equal parts of Trix cereal, Froot Loops cereal and Colors Goldfish crackers.

Notes
Soft squishy marshmallows will make crispy crunchy elements a little softer, so make sure to add them just prior to serving whenever possible.

, too.}
Wouldn't this be fun to pop in the kiddos' lunch box for the week of St. Patrick's Day? Man, why do I think of these things after my boys are past that fun age of surprise lunch box treats?! Oh well. There is no shame in my game ... I may or may not be taking a bag of this to work today 😉

How many servings does this make?
Keri says
Hi Charmaine - the recipe just uses equal parts of all of the ingredients. So if you use a cup of each (Trix, Froot Loops, Goldfish & marshmallows), you would end up with 4 cups of the rainbow snack mix. You can double or triple the recipe if needed. Enjoy!!
