Ingredients
Scale
Cereal Mix
- 3 cups Cheerios
- 3 cups Rice Chex
- 3 cups Wheat Chex
- 2 cups Corn Chex
- 1 cup Pretzel Sticks
- 2-3 cups M&M’s
Chocolate Coating

Instructions
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Cheerios, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, Corn Chex, pretzel sticks, and M&M’s until evenly distributed.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate according to package instructions, ensuring it becomes smooth and creamy without burning.
- Coat the Mix: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or use your hands to make sure every piece is thoroughly coated. If more chocolate is needed to cover the mix, melt the extra white chocolate and add it in.

- Break and Store: Once the chocolate has hardened, break the mix into medium-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.

- This mix is the perfect holiday snack, combining sweet, salty, and crunchy elements.
- Use white chocolate of good quality for the best flavor and smooth coating.
- Store in a cool place to prevent the chocolate from melting.
