Lucky Charms Snack Mix
Description
Lucky Charms Snack Mix features a blend of Lucky Charms cereal, pretzels, popcorn, M&M's, sprinkles, and optional peanuts coated in melted white chocolate. The white chocolate is melted carefully and poured over the dry ingredients, then mixed to coat evenly. After spreading the mix on parchment and allowing it to cool and set, the snack becomes firm clusters that combine sweet and salty elements with a variety of textures from crunchy to chewy.
This snack is ideal for casual snacking or gatherings where a quick sweet treat is welcomed. The colorful ingredients make it visually appealing, and the combination of textures keeps the eating experience interesting.
If using white chocolate chips instead of good quality white chocolate, adding a bit of oil before melting improves smoothness. Store the snack mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness once set.
Ingredients
- 5 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 3 cups pretzels
- 6 1/2 cups Popcorn popped
- 10 ounces M&M's
- 3/4 cup Sprinkles of your choice
- 1 1/2 cups peanuts optional, dry roasted
- 4 cups white chocolate 24 ounces, good quality, chopped or white candy melts
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cereal, pretzels, popped popcorn, M&M's, sprinkles, and peanuts, if using.
- In a separate bowl, carefully melt the white chocolate in short 20-30 second bursts in the microwave and stirring well between each burst of heat until the white chocolate is smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the other ingredients and mix well to coat all of the snack mix in white chocolate. Transfer the mixture to the parchment lined baking sheet and spread out.
- As the white chocolate cools, the snack mix will firm up and set (about 10 to 15 minutes). When set, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate for a smooth coating and better flavor.
- If you use white chocolate chips, add 3 tablespoons of oil before melting for better texture.
- Store the snack mix in an airtight container once set to keep it fresh.
- Sprinkles can be customized by choice to add color variations.
