Instructions
- Prepare Pans: Line two large half-sheet pans with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
- Prepare Green Cereal: In a large mixing bowl, add 8 cups of Rice Chex cereal.

- Color the Coating: Mix in green food coloring until you achieve the desired clover green shade.
- Coat Green Pieces: Pour the green mixture over the 8 cups of cereal. Fold gently until completely covered.

- Coat Gold Pieces: Pour the melted bark over the cereal and stir until well coated. Spread onto the second sheet pan.
- Add Gold Sparkle: Sprinkle the gold sanding sugar immediately over the wet white cereal, tossing gently to cover all sides.
- Cool and Mix: Allow both pans to sit for 30-60 minutes (or refrigerate for 15 minutes) until set. Break apart any clumps and combine the green and gold pieces in a large serving bowl.
