Separate marshmallows out of Lucky Charms cereal and set aside.
Place cereal portion of Lucky Charms in a large bowl with Chex cereal, and pretzels.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat vanilla almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring often, until smooth.
Pour melted bark over cereal mixture. Toss to evenly coat cereal and pretzels.
Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Immediately sprinkle marshmallows and sprinkles evenly over top.
Allow mixture to cool completely and break into pieces.

Use Parchment Paper for Easy Cleanup – Spreading the mix on a parchment-lined baking sheet prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

High Quality Ingredients: For ingredients like your bark, opting for a higher quality version can leave you with better results, as it may melt smoother and coat your ingredients better.

Melt in Intervals: To prevent your melted bark from burning, it’s important to melt in 30-second intervals and stir often until it’s fully melted.

Be Quick: After your bark is done melting, try to be quick to mix it in with your ingredients. You’ll want to combine it before it hardens.

Short on Time? You can place your finished snack mix in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes to cool and set the coating if you're in a time crunch!

Mix Gently: Be gentle when mixing in your melted bark, as to not crush your ingredients!

Same-Sized Pieces: Try to keep your ingredients in uniform-sized pieces so no one ingredient overpowers the others.
