I am also sharing my rainbow trail mix recipe for a fun celebration or lunch box treat. Cute for friends and coworkers too, because we all need a little more love and happiness!

Why This Recipe

Festive. I am always looking for ways to celebrate the small moments in life and this is a fun and quick way to bring a smile to someone's face. It really brings me joy when I can make someone's day a little better.

Quick and Easy. I also love that these do not make much time to put together. I filled them with trail mix, but you can also fill them with candies, popcorn or shamrock cookies!

Fun. St. Patrick's Day is something I look forward to because the first day of spring is just a few days away! Spring makes me think of longer days, wearing shorts and dresses and enjoying the flowers, although sometimes they do make my hay fever flare up, but it is worth it.

Ingredients

• nuts
• colorful candies
• gold wrapped candies

 Substitutions and Variations

The great part is  you can substitute the nuts with popcorn and can also use chocolate gold coins to make this a fun and festive treat. It one of the simple ways to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!
