Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Honey-roasted peanuts
- 1.5 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1.5 cups Chocolate candies (e.g., M&M's)
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, honey-roasted peanuts, mini marshmallows, and chocolate candies. Gently toss to combine.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture in the large bowl. Using a spatula, carefully fold the mixture to coat evenly with the white chocolate.
If desired, sprinkle the mixture with colorful sprinkles for an extra fun touch.
Spread the mixture out in an even layer on a large sheet of parchment paper or a baking sheet. Let it sit for 30 minutes to allow the white chocolate to set and harden.
Once the white chocolate is firm, break the snack mix into bite-sized pieces.
Store the Kiddie Crunch Snack Mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
