Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice cereal squares (e.g., Rice Chex)
- 3 cups Corn cereal squares (e.g., Corn Chex)
- 2 cups Pretzel twists
- 1.5 cups Mini salted crackers
- 1 cup Dry roasted peanuts
- 1.5 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 cup Red and green candy-coated chocolates
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (red, green, or festive holiday mix)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice cereal squares, corn cereal squares, pretzel twists, mini salted crackers, and dry roasted peanuts. Gently stir to mix everything together evenly.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment, until completely melted and smooth. (This should take approximately 1-2 minutes.)
Step 3
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dry mixture in the large bowl. Use a silicone spatula to gently toss and coat the mix, ensuring each piece is evenly covered with the white chocolate.
Step 4
Spread the coated mixture onto a large parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer.
Step 5
While the mixture is still wet, sprinkle the red and green candy-coated chocolates and festive sprinkles evenly across the mix for a pop of holiday color.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to cool and harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Step 7
Once the chocolate is set, gently break the mix apart into bite-sized clusters.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
