Ingredients
Scale
Snack Mix
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- 2 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1 cup Cheerios
- 2 cups Bugles chips
- 1 cup roasted peanuts
- 2 cups M&M candies
Coating
- 24 ounces white chocolate
- sprinkles (as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, add the mini pretzels, Bugles chips, Rice Chex cereal, Cheerios, roasted peanuts, and M&M candies. Toss everything together to combine the snack mix evenly.
- Melt the white chocolate: Set up a double boiler by filling a medium saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bringing it to a low boil. Place a heatproof glass bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water. Add the white chocolate chips to the bowl and stir continuously until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between sessions until fully melted.
- Coat the snack mix: Pour the melted white chocolate over the combined snack mix. Add sprinkles as desired. Carefully toss everything until all pieces are thoroughly coated with the white chocolate and sprinkles are evenly distributed.
- Set and break apart: Spread the coated mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow it to sit at room temperature until the white chocolate hardens completely. Once hardened, break the mixture into pieces for serving and snacking.
Notes
- You can customize the snack mix by adding other nuts or candy of your choice.
- If you prefer a different chocolate flavor, substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate chips.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- For quicker melting, using the microwave method is handy but watch closely to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Sprinkles add a festive touch but can be omitted if preferred.
