Description

A fun and festive snack mix perfect for celebrations, featuring a colorful combination of cereals, pretzels, and chocolate.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups rice cereal
  • 2 cups pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup red and blue M&M’s
  • 1 cup popcorn (popped)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice cereal, pretzel sticks, M&M’s, popcorn, and mini marshmallows. Gently toss to mix the ingredients evenly.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the snack mix and gently stir to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the sea salt over the mixture and toss again to combine.
  5. Spread the snack mix onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it cool for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  6. Once cooled, break the snack mix into clusters and serve in a large bowl or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a chocolatey twist, add 1 cup of chocolate-covered pretzels to the mix.
  • To make it more festive, incorporate seasonal sprinkles or themed candies for different holidays.
