Ingredients
- 6 cups rice Chex
- 11 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cup mini pretzels
- 4 ounces almond bark
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup holiday M&M’s
- 1 tablespoon holiday sprinkles
- ¼ cup crushed peppermint candies or chips optional
Instructions
- Place the cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
- Add the white chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and heat on low for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate has melted fully.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over cereal and stir to coat.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment and pour the coated cereal over the parchment. Spread it out into an even layer and let cool until the chocolate has hardened, about 1 hour.
- While the chex and chocolate mixture is cooling, spread your mini pretzels on a large tray or cookie sheet.
- Add the almond bark to a mcirowave safe bowl and heat on low for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate has melted fully.
- Drizzle over the pretzels. Sprinkle immediately with holiday sprinkles. Set aside to cool and harden.
- Once the cereal has cooled and harded, break apart into small pieces, and place the mixture into a large resealable bag. Add powdered sugar to the bag and shake gently until the mixture is coated.
- Add cereal to a large bowl and mix in the drizzled mini pretzels, holiday m&m’s, and crushed peppermints. Stir to combine.
- Package in air-tight containers to deliver for holiday gifts or serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use all white chocolate or all almond bark, if preferred. You’ll need 11 ounces of either for coating the cereal and 4 ounces of either for drizzling over the pretzels.
- Once the white chocolate-covered rice chex mix has cooled, break it up into as small pieces as possible for easier powdered sugar coverage.
- You can skip the peppermint altogether or swap it for another candy, if preferred.
- Store in an air-tight container to ensure freshness of the mix. Use your favorite ball jar or festive holiday tin to turn this treat into a great holiday gift!
