Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pretzels, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup crushed peppermint candies
  • Mini marshmallows (optional)

  • Holiday sprinkles (optional)

  • Candy cane pieces (optional)

Method
 

  1. Before You Begin
  2. Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.
  3. Place cereal and chopped pretzels in a large mixing bowl or zip-top bag.
  4. Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Pour melted chocolate over cereal mixture and gently stir or shake until evenly coated.
  6. Add powdered sugar and toss until pieces are lightly coated and no longer sticky.
  7. Add crushed peppermint candies and mix gently until evenly distributed.
  8. Spread mixture in a single layer on parchment paper and let cool completely until dry before serving or storing.

Notes

• Stir chocolate frequently while melting to prevent overheating.

• Coat cereal immediately after melting chocolate for even coverage.

• Allow the mixture to cool completely before storing to prevent clumping.

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.

• Freeze in a sealed container for up to 1 month and thaw at room temperature before serving.
