Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pretzels
  • 2 cups plain Cheerios
  • 3 cups Chex cereal rice or corn
  • 1 cup Christmas M and M’s
  • 10 ounces white chocolate wafers or chips


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzels, and Christmas M and M’s.
  2. Place the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.
  3. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then continue melting in 30 second increments, stirring well each time.
  4. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
  5. Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture and stir gently until everything is fully coated.
  6. Spread the mixture onto a sheet of parchment or wax paper.
  7. Allow it to set at room temperature for at least 15 minutes until hardened.
  8. Break into pieces and serve or store.

Notes

  • Stir the white chocolate frequently while melting to prevent scorching.
  • Add more M and M’s after coating if you want extra color.
  • For a thicker chocolate coating, melt a few additional ounces of white chocolate.
  • Store in an airtight container for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
