Ingredients
Scale
Cereals
- 3 cups corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups rice Chex cereal
- 3½ cups Cheerios cereal
Mix-ins
- 2½ cups mixed nuts
- 1 (12-oz) bag M&M candies
- 1 (8-oz) bag pretzel Goldfish
Chocolate Coating
- 3 (12-oz) packages white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, toss together the corn Chex, rice Chex, Cheerios, mixed nuts, M&M candies, and pretzel Goldfish until evenly mixed.
- Melt white chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on HIGH for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate and continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the mixture: Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal and mix-in combination. Toss gently but thoroughly until every piece is fully coated with the white chocolate.
- Set the mixture: Spread the coated mixture evenly on a sheet of foil, parchment paper, or wax paper. Allow the white chocolate to cool and harden at room temperature.
- Serve: Once set, break the mixture into pieces and serve or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is melted slowly to avoid burning.
- You can substitute the mixed nuts with your favorite nuts or seeds.
- Store the mix in an airtight container at room temperature to keep it fresh.
- For a festive touch, try adding holiday-colored M&Ms or dried fruit.
