Rainbow Treat Bags Trail Mix
Rainbow Trail Mix with St. Patrick's day party favor topper.

These Rainbow Treat toppers are a fun and simple way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with family, friends, neighbors or coworkers. All you need is some candy or nuts or popcorn and little bags to make these fun little treat bags.

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!

Other additions include dried cranberries, cashews, raisins, pumpkin seeds and popcorn.

    I feel the same way. We are not even a little Irish but I love this holiday. I love the proximity to Daylight Savings and spring. New England has rough winters. Even when they're very mild, they're still rough because they're dark and cold.
    And I love corned beef and little traits like this.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
