St. Patrick’s Day S’more Snack Mix – Ooey gooey marshmallow covered popcorn with grahams and chocolate. What’s not to love?
Have you recovered from Valentine’s Day yet? My kids are still finishing off the last remains of their candy, and I have the decorations put away. Time to move on to the next holiday- St. Patrick’s Day!
I don’t do much decorating for St. Patty’s Day, but I do like to whip up some fun themed food. This S’more Snack Mix can be adapted for any holiday, but I used green M&M’s so it’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!!
It has a light coating of melted marshmallows that is just heavenly. But add in the graham cereal and chocolate, and you have a real treat! I’d eat this over an actual s’more any day. 🙂
I used air popped popcorn to make my snack mix, but I think microwave popcorn would be just as good. In fact, the salty/sweet combination would probably be fabulous!
My kids gobbled this stuff right up, and I bet yours will too! It might just become a yearly tradition at our house.

I always like popcorn best the day it is popped, but you can make this a day ahead if you prefer. 🙂

Where is the actual recipe or directions? I can’t find it on the web page. I see a lot of nice photos, but no recipe.

My site had a glitch, but the recipe is back. Sorry about that!

I thought the recipe and assembly went fine. I did add the m&m’s before the marshmallow mixture and increased marshmallows by about 1/2 cup and added another Tbsp of butter to the mixture.

How many servings does this make ? Would it be enough for 10 toddlers ?

We made this recipe for our St Patrick’s Day party, it was a hit!

This recipe was an expensive pinterest fail. The directions were sketchy at best and the marshmallow and butter syrup needed something else in it as it was melting together. It hardened too quickly and the m&ms would not incorporate and just fell to the bottom. It sounded like a good idea but it was a disaster.

Agreed! The m&ms needed to be added before the marshmallow mixture. They broke apart a bit; but at least they were more incorporated into the popcorn and grahams.

I would scarf this stuff down….and probably hide it from the kids!! 😉
