Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1.5 cups Honey-roasted peanuts
- 1 cup Holiday-colored candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&Ms)
- 1.5 cups White chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups Festive sprinkles
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, mini pretzels, and honey-roasted peanuts. Stir gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave on medium power for 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth (approximately 1.5 - 2 minutes total).
Immediately pour the melted white chocolate over the snack mix. Use a large spatula to gently toss the mix, ensuring each piece is lightly coated with the melted chocolate.
Add the holiday-colored candy-coated chocolates and sprinkles to the mixture. Stir gently to distribute them throughout the mix.
Spread the snack mix onto a large sheet of wax or parchment paper in an even layer. Let it sit at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chocolate sets and hardens.
Once the snack mix has hardened, break it into small clusters or chunks as desired. Transfer to an airtight container or resealable bags for storage.
Serve immediately or package in decorative holiday bags or tins for gifting. Enjoy!
