Description
A crunchy, colorful holiday snack mix featuring cereal, pretzels, and M&Ms coated in melted white chocolate and sprinkled with flaky salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12-ounce) box rice, wheat, or corn Chex cereal (or 10 to 11 cups combination)
- 2 cups mini pretzel twists
- 1 1/2 cups Christmas M&Ms (10 to 11 ounces)
- 1 1/2 pounds white chocolate bars or discs
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt
Instructions
- Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper, wax paper, or silicone baking mats.
- Place 12 ounces Chex cereal (10 to 11 cups), 2 cups mini pretzel twists, and 1 1/2 cups Christmas M&Ms in a large bowl and stir until combined.
- If using bars, coarsely chop 1 1/2 pounds white chocolate. Place the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Alternatively, melt over low heat in a bowl set over simmering water, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture and gently fold with a rubber spatula until everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mix to the prepared baking sheets and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt.
- Let the mix sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets, about 1 1/2 hours. Alternatively, refrigerate for about 45 minutes. Break the set mix into pieces by hand.
Notes
- If you use white chocolate chips instead of bars or discs, you may need to adjust the melting time slightly.
- This mix is excellent for filling gift bags or decorative jars for holiday sharing.
