Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice cereal squares (e.g., Rice Chex)
- 3 cups Corn cereal squares (e.g., Corn Chex)
- 2 cups Pretzel twists
- 1.5 cups Mini salted crackers
- 1 cup Dry roasted peanuts
- 1.5 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 cup Red and green candy-coated chocolates
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (red, green, or festive holiday mix)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice cereal squares, corn cereal squares, pretzel twists, mini salted crackers, and dry roasted peanuts. Gently stir to mix everything together evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment, until completely melted and smooth. (This should take approximately 1-2 minutes.)
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dry mixture in the large bowl. Use a silicone spatula to gently toss and coat the mix, ensuring each piece is evenly covered with the white chocolate.
Spread the coated mixture onto a large parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer.
While the mixture is still wet, sprinkle the red and green candy-coated chocolates and festive sprinkles evenly across the mix for a pop of holiday color.
Allow the mixture to cool and harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate is set, gently break the mix apart into bite-sized clusters.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
