Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal
- 1 cup vanilla frosting
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup butter or ½ stick
- 1 cup pretzels
- ½ cup icing or powdered sugar
- ½ cup vanilla cake mix
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt frosting, white chocolate, and butter in the microwave for 60 seconds, stirring after and recooking until smooth and melted, 30 seconds at a time.
- Combine Chex and pretzels in a large bowl, and pour in melted white chocolate mixture.
- Gently turn everything together to cover completely.
- Pour powdered sugar and cake mix in an extra large gallon sized resealable bag, and then pour in your cereal mixture.
- Shake vigorously for a few minutes until everything is coated.
- Pour onto a large sheet pan to “dry” and add up to ¼ cup sprinkles. Allow snack to set for at least 15 minutes, but ideally about 2 hours. You can also put it in the fridge to speed up the setting process if you need to.
- Serve as desired and enjoy!
- To switch things up please have a look at our Easy Chocolate Chex Mix that is a little different and just as delicious or you can have a look below!
Notes
- If we decide to go with regular, white chocolate Chex mix, we use approximately 2 cups or one 11 oz. bag of white chocolate chips and 6 cups of Chex cereal. Sometimes I will add in some popcorn or a mixture of cereals but I always keep cereals and popcorn to between 6 and 7 cups.
- We pick whatever options we want to include, usually between ¼ and ½ cup of each, and we always include mini pretzels because of the wonderful flavor the salt always adds to the mixture.
- Sometimes, but not always, after all of the cereal has been coated in white chocolate, we will immediately dump all of the coated cereal into an extra large resealable bag with 1 cup of icing or powdered sugar and rigorously adjust popcorn until the sugar is absorbed into the cereal.
- Then, last but not least, I add the extra treats, shake the bag around, pour contents onto a rimmed baking sheet and allow all of it to set for at least 15 minutes and you are ready to go.
- This is a long 15 minutes but you must allow the snack mix to dry completely before sealing it into an airtight container.
- You can truly have so much fun making this treat. Kids have lots of fun deciding the treats they want to include and actually making it. Even putting some in a cup, wrapping in cellophane, tying the ribbon and delivering it is pure joy!
- I have listed some choices below but I believe you won't have much difficulty finding some of your own favorite treats to include! I would love to hear what you include in the comments so I can add too this list!
- This snack or dessert is a lot of fun to make and amazing to eat so make sure you have some fun with it.
- For complete instructions have a look at our Easy Chocolate Chex Mix where you will find complete directions.
- Remember to decorate your version with treats that you desire, for whatever holiday or celebration.
- nuts like peanuts, almonds, cashews or coconut
