Ingredients
- 3 cups rice chex cereal
- 1 cup Bugles
- 1 cup kettle popcorn
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 11 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 cup Chow Mein noodles

Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together mix Rice Chex, Bugles, and popcorn. Set aside.
- Next, melt 11 ounces of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Stir and heat in additional 30 seconds increments until all the chips are melted. Be careful not to scorch!
- Once melted, pour the white chocolate over your prepared snack bowl. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture until it’s completely coated.
- Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Then spread the white chocolate-coated mixture onto the cookie sheet. Allow the mixture to cool and dry for at least one hour or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Once the mixture is dry, gently break it apart and place it in a large bowl. Add ½ cup powdered sugar and toss until coated.
- Finally, add 1 cup of chow mein noodles, 1 cup of mini marshmallows, 1 cup of peanut M&M’s, and 1 tablespoon of holiday sprinkles. Gently stir just until combined.
