Description
A quick and festive no-bake treat made with crunchy Rice Chex coated in green icing, powdered sugar, and sprinkles, perfect for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex
- 16 ounces Wiltons Green Icing
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup Sugar Cookie Mix
- 1 package Gold Sprinkles
- 2 gallon baggies
Instructions
- Pour 6 cups of Rice Chex into a very large mixing bowl and leave it at the ready.
- In one of the gallon baggies combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 3/4 cup sugar cookie mix; seal the bag and set it aside for dusting later.
- Spoon 16 ounces of Wiltons green icing into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on medium power in 20-second bursts, stirring between each burst, until the icing becomes fluid but never allowed to boil or scorch.
- Pour the warm green icing over the cereal right away. Use a large spatula to fold gently, turning and scraping until each piece is mostly coated.
- Sprinkle in the gold sprinkles to taste and fold once more so they stick to the wet icing.
- Transfer coated cereal in manageable batches into the prepared powdered sugar + cookie mix bag. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until every piece is well dusted.
- Empty the coated cereal onto a baking pan lined with parchment in a single layer. Let it sit to dry for 15–20 minutes.
- While still slightly tacky, scatter a few extra sprinkles over the top for extra shine and visual appeal.
- After the mix is fully dry, break apart any clumps and portion into bowls or treat bags for serving.
