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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and peanuts. Stir gently to mix evenly.
Step 2
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the red and green chocolate-coated candies and half of the holiday-themed sprinkles. Stir lightly to distribute them throughout the mixture.
Step 5
Spread the mixture out in an even layer on a large sheet of wax paper or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles evenly over the top of the mixture for extra holiday flair.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to cool and set completely, about 20–30 minutes at room temperature, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Step 8
Once set, break the mixture into bite-sized chunks and transfer to a serving bowl or festive gift bags for sharing.
