Instructions

Line two large half-sheet pans with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
Pour 8 cups of Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 18 ounces of almond bark and 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter. Heat for 60 seconds, stir, and continue to heat in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Mix in green food coloring until reaching your desired clover green shade.
Pour the green mixture over the Rice Chex and fold gently until all pieces are coated.
Add 1 cup of powdered sugar and gently fold for 3-5 minutes until the pieces appear dry and are separated. Spread onto one of the prepared sheet pans.
In another bowl, pour 3 cups of Rice Chex cereal.
Melt the remaining 6 ounces of almond bark in the microwave until smooth, then pour it over the 3 cups of Rice Chex, stirring until coated. Spread onto the second sheet pan.
Immediately sprinkle the gold sanding sugar over the coated cereal, tossing gently to cover all sides.
Allow both pans to set for 30-60 minutes (or refrigerate for 15 minutes) until hardened. Break apart any clumps and mix the green and gold pieces in a large serving bowl.

Notes

Ensure to mix the colors thoroughly for an even coating.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
Adjust the amount of green food coloring based on preference for color intensity.
