Ingredients

Scale

Dry Mix

  • 3 cups Rice Chex
  • 3 cups Corn Chex
  • 2 cups Honey Nut Cheerios
  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 1 cup plain M&Ms
  • 1 cup peanut M&Ms
  • 1 cup salted peanuts

White Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently mix together Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Honey Nut Cheerios, mini pretzels, plain M&Ms, peanut M&Ms, and salted peanuts until evenly distributed.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
  3. Coat the Mix: Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal and nut mixture. Quickly toss and stir to evenly coat all pieces before the chocolate firms up.
  4. Set the Mixture: Spread the coated mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let it set at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.
  5. Serve and Store: Once the mixture is firm, break it into chunks and transfer to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage.

Notes

  • Stir the white chocolate frequently during microwaving to prevent burning or scorching.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone mat on the baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • For a seasonal twist, substitute festive-colored M&Ms or add chopped cookies for extra texture and flavor.
