Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal
  • 2 cups pretzels small, twisted
  • ½ cup butter
  • ? cup peanut butter creamy
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 - 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Red & Green M&M’s
  • 4 candy canes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slightly crush the candy canes in the zip lock bag with a rolling pin, and make small chunks not anywhere close to a powder.
  2. In the large bowl (or ziplock bag once you remove the candy canes or a separate bag) mix together the Chex and pretzels.
  3. Melt the butter, peanut butter, and 1 cup of white chocolate chips on the stove, stirring constantly over medium to low heat.
  4. Pour the butter mixture over the Chex mixture and stir (or shake) well.
  5. Add in the powdered sugar and stir (shake) well again.
  6. Once all of the Chex and pretzels are covered well, stir (or shake) in the M&M’s, the rest of the white chocolate chips, and crushed candy canes.
  7. Share and enjoy! 

Notes

  • If using a ziplock bag to make the Chex mix, be sure the butter mixture is not too hot when pouring it in.
  • If possible, don’t re use the ziplock bag you crushed the candy canes in.
  • This Chex mix tastes the freshest when enjoyed within the first 2-3 days after it’s made, but it will last up to two weeks in an airtight container at room temperature without tasting stale.
