Do you do fun things for your kiddos during the holidays? I love making fun snacks and themed lunches for mine.

St. Patrick’s Day is a big deal for our family because I come from a large extended Irish-Catholic family that celebrated big every year with meals or corned beef and cabbage, and all the relatives meeting up.

There’s a pesky leprechaun that starts visiting our house on March first, making messes and leaving tricks for the kiddos. They spend the first two weeks of the month plotting and putting their heads together to create the best leprechaun traps they can, hoping to ensnare the trickster and steal his gold.

Unfortunately for them, he eludes capture every year, but leaves them goodies to make up for it.

This St. Patrick’s Day snack mix was a huge hit, and so super simple to make that it’s easy to whip up in a heartbeat. I’m thinking that the leprechaun can leave the kids the makings for it, and they can make it for me on St. Patrick’s Day in a few weeks.
