Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Peanuts
- 1 cup Red and green chocolate-coated candies (e.g. M&Ms)
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Holiday-themed sprinkles
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and peanuts. Stir gently to mix evenly.
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula to gently toss the ingredients together, ensuring everything is coated evenly with the white chocolate.
Add the red and green chocolate-coated candies and half of the holiday-themed sprinkles. Stir lightly to distribute them throughout the mixture.
Spread the mixture out in an even layer on a large sheet of wax paper or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles evenly over the top of the mixture for extra holiday flair.
Allow the mixture to cool and set completely, about 20–30 minutes at room temperature, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once set, break the mixture into bite-sized chunks and transfer to a serving bowl or festive gift bags for sharing.
