St Patrick’s Day Bark – A Rainbow Food with Lucky Charms!

This easy St Patrick’s Day bark is quick to come together and the kids LOVE to help. Let’s get started making this fun rainbow food idea!

St Patrick’s Day Bark

We have a rule here in the Ruffles and Rain Boots house – no sugary cereals for breakfast unless it’s Fridays. Why? Mom is usually interested in sipping on an extra cup of (hot) coffee instead of making breakfast.

This St Patrick’s day bark is a fun rainbow food idea, sure but let’s focus on what is important: it has Lucky Charms! It’s no secret Lucky Charms is one of the BEST cereals out there. It’s dessert in a bowl, friends. Marshmallows in bright fun colors and shapes?! Grab a handful (for fuel) and let’s get started.

Tips to Make Rainbow Bark

First, let me just say that it is perfectly normal to snack on Lucky Charms while making these. Perfectly normal. It’s a universal truth and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

• Enlist the help of the kids to pick out the Lucky Charms pieces they want.
• Sorting M&M’s is super fun but don’t stop there. Use Skittles if you have those on hand because really, the more the merrier!
• If you have little ones helping, hand them a butter knife and the rainbow candy. Letting them cut strips or even shapes is good practice.
• Work quickly, but savor the Lucky Charms. #lifelessons
