A festive and customizable holiday snack mix combining crunchy cereal, pretzels, sweet candies, and creamy white chocolate for the perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

4 cups Corn Chex cereal
4 cups Rice Chex cereal
2 cups mini pretzels
1 cup holiday-themed M&Ms
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: 1 cup peanuts

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of Corn Chex, 4 cups of Rice Chex, and 2 cups of mini pretzels. Toss gently to mix.
Add 1 cup of holiday-themed M&Ms and 1 cup of mini marshmallows to the cereal mixture. Stir to evenly distribute.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
Stir 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal mix. Use a spatula to gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool and set for about 15 minutes.
Once set, break the mix into clusters and transfer to a serving bowl or storage containers.

Notes

Cool completely before breaking into pieces to avoid clumps. Experiment with ingredient ratios for a personalized touch. Work quickly with melted chocolate to ensure even coating.
