Ingredients

• 4 cups Rice cereal squares (e.g., Chex)
• 2 cups Mini pretzels
• 3 cups Popped popcorn
• 1 cup Salted peanuts (optional)
• 1 cup Mini marshmallows
• 1 cup Red and green chocolate candies (e.g., M&M's)
• 2 cups White chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or shortening

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice cereal squares, mini pretzels, popped popcorn, salted peanuts (if using), and mini marshmallows. Toss gently to mix evenly.

Step 2

Add the red and green chocolate candies to the bowl and mix again, ensuring they're distributed throughout the mix.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil or shortening. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Pour the melted white chocolate over the snack mix in the large bowl. Use a spatula to gently toss and coat all the ingredients with the melted chocolate.

Step 5

Spread the coated mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread it out evenly to allow the chocolate to set.

Step 6

Let the mix cool and set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 7

Once the mixture has hardened, break it into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Step 8

Serve and enjoy your Blizzard Mix as a festive treat or wintertime snack!
