Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cereal Base
  • 9 cups Rice Chex Cereal
  • 2 cups Mini Pretzels
Coating & Mix-ins
  • 12 oz White Chocolate Chips Or vanilla candy melts
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1.5 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup Pastel M&Ms Green, blue, and yellow colors
  • 1 cup Lucky Charms Marshmallows

Method
 

  1. Combine Chex cereal and mini pretzels in a very large mixing bowl.
  2. Melt white chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture and gently fold with a spatula until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the mix to a large Ziploc bag with powdered sugar and shake until every piece is coated.
  5. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined sheet pan and immediately top with M&Ms, marshmallows, and sprinkles.
  6. Allow to set for 30 minutes at room temperature before serving or packaging.

Notes

Avoid over-shaking the candies in the powdered sugar so their colors stay vibrant. Use high-quality white chocolate for the best melting results.
