Patriotic Trail Mix Recipe
Description
This trail mix starts with corn Chex cereal coated in melted vanilla-flavored candy coating, which solidifies to provide a sweet, crisp base. After the coating sets, the mix is combined with quartered licorice pieces, red, white, and blue M&Ms, and mini marshmallows, delivering a variety of textures and sweet flavors.
The candy coating ensures the cereal pieces stick together lightly and adds sweetness, while the candies provide bursts of color and different chewiness levels. This snack is particularly suitable for patriotic-themed events or celebrations.
Ingredients
- 3 cup corn chex
- 15 licorice cut in quarters
- 1 cup M&Ms red, white and blue
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 4 cubes vanilla candy coating
Instructions
- Place corn Chex in large bowl.
- Melt candy coating on low heat in a small pot. Stir constantly and melt until smooth. Pour over Chex and mix until cereal is all coated. Pour onto wax paper and spread out. Let set.
- Once cereal is set, add other candy pieces and mix well. ENJOY!
