Sylas (he was 6 at the time of this post) added mini-chocolate chips to his trail mix, too. It went along perfectly, and while the colors weren’t St Patrick’s Day related, it was well worth it.

You can easily switch this up to fit your child’s taste. Other fun add-ins include Lucky Charms, green M&M’s, white chocolate chips, or anything else your kids love. The possibilities are endless, so you’re sure to love what you create!

If you’re feeling ambitious, you could even take your child to the store and let them choose what they want to add. Turning it into a mini shopping trip makes the trail mix a fun activity that can be eaten when it’s finished.

Leprechaun Lucky Trail Mix

Give the mix a classic St. Patrick’s Day twist by adding Lucky Charms cereal and a few extra marshmallow bits. You can also toss in green M&M’s and white chocolate chips to make it feel extra festive and colorful.

Rainbow Pot of Gold Mix

Turn your trail mix into a rainbow-themed treat by adding Skittles or rainbow candy pieces along with a few gold chocolate coins. Kids love the “rainbow leading to the pot of gold” idea, and it makes the snack feel even more magical.

Sweet & Salty St. Patrick’s Day Mix

If your family likes a little salty crunch, add mini pretzels, popcorn, or Chex cereal to the mix. Pair it with white chocolate chips or yogurt-covered raisins for a sweet-and-salty combination that’s always a hit.
