In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, mini pretzels, honey roasted peanuts, and M&M's. Gently toss to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips. If using, also add the vegetable shortening to help the chocolate melt smoothly.
Microwave the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat and scorch the chocolate.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the dry mix in the large bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold and coat all the ingredients evenly with the melted chocolate.
Line a large baking sheet or countertop with parchment paper or wax paper. Spread the coated mixture out onto the prepared surface in an even layer to cool and solidify.
Allow the mix to set for 30 minutes, or until the white chocolate is firm to the touch.
Once set, break the party mix into smaller chunks or pieces and transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container.
Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
