Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Pretzel twists or sticks
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1.5 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 cup Candy canes, crushed
- 0.5 cup Holiday-colored M&Ms
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil or coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, pretzel twists, and mini marshmallows. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and vegetable or coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal-pretzel mixture. Gently fold with a silicone spatula to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Add the crushed candy canes to the mixture and gently stir to distribute evenly.
Spread the mixture out onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the holiday-colored M&Ms over the top.
Allow the mix to cool and harden completely, about 20-30 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Break the mix into bite-sized pieces and serve, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
