Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Pretzel sticks
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1.5 cups Red and green candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M's)
- 1 cup Salted peanuts
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Holiday-themed sprinkles
Instructions
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, pretzel sticks, mini marshmallows, candy-coated chocolates, and salted peanuts. Gently toss to mix evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the white chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the snack mix in the bowl. Using a spatula, gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the white chocolate.
Spread the coated mix evenly over the prepared baking sheets, spreading it out so it forms a thin layer and doesn't clump together.
Immediately sprinkle the holiday-themed sprinkles over the top of the mixture while the chocolate is still wet to ensure they stick.
Allow the mix to cool and harden completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes. You can place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once set, break the mix into bite-sized clusters and transfer to an airtight container or festive gift bags for sharing.
