In a large pot melt 4 tablespoons of butter or margarine over medium-low heat. Then stir in 8 ounces of mini marshmallows until they are melted.

Remove the melted marshmallows from the heat and stir in 6 cups of Lucky Charms cereal. Stir well and then spread into a lightly greased 9 x 13″ pan.

If you really like the cute marshmallows in the cereal you (or your kiddo) can pick some extra marshmallows out of the remaining cereal and sprinkle on top. I like to wet my fingers to make it easiest to smooth the mixture out. Cut into pieces of your desired size and enjoy.

Shamrock Cutouts – These are optional but they’ll certainly add to the festive theme. They’re just shamrock shaped cut outs with glitter but you can use them as decoration around the tray or on the table!

Decorative Bowls – It helps to have one or two St. Patrick’s Day themed bowls on the board that contain some of the treats, like the gold eggs or coins. Fill in the rest of the bowls with plain white, green, or gold bowls from your home.

Wooden Scoops – Small wooden scoops or cute spoons help dress up a board. I couldn’t find the exact scoop we used online, but most craft stores will sell them.

That’s where the artistic or creative part of a charcuterie board comes in. It’s really up to you how you want to arrange it so go for appealing as possible. I’d recommend starting with any bowls or containers, filling those up, and then adding in the other items.

I’m calling it a St. Patrick’s Day snack board, but it could be referred to in a few different ways. Some would call it a dessert board, or a dessert charcuterie board. It really doesn’t matter, call it what you want!

You’re bound to have leftover treats after building your board. We always keep some on hand to refill after guests have made their first pass over the board, but leftover treats can also be packaged up into small goodie bags for guests to take home if you don’t like a bunch of candies tempting you in the cupboard.

Charcuterie and snack boards are always fun at parties and for holidays. We filled this snack board with all the green, gold, and rainbow treats we could find!

We added the amounts we used here, but don’t bother measuring. Just fill your board until it’s very full and festive looking. Use more of your favorite ingredients and make sure to add lots of variety.

If you don’t have a board or sheet pan, you can easily use a roll of construction paper, which you can get in any color you choose. Tape the edges to your counter or table and then fill accordingly.
