Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- For a brighter green hue, mix a few drops of green food coloring into the melted white chocolate before coating the cereal.
- Let the kids get involved—they’ll have fun stirring and adding the sprinkles!
- Using parchment paper or a silicone mat makes cleanup easier and keeps the mixture from sticking.
