Ingredients

• 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
• 2 cups Pretzel twists or sticks
• 1 cup Mini marshmallows
• 1.5 cups White chocolate chips
• 1 cup Candy canes, crushed
• 0.5 cup Holiday-colored M&Ms
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil or coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, pretzel twists, and mini marshmallows. Set aside.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and vegetable or coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 3

Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal-pretzel mixture. Gently fold with a silicone spatula to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.

Step 4

Add the crushed candy canes to the mixture and gently stir to distribute evenly.

Step 5

Spread the mixture out onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the holiday-colored M&Ms over the top.

Step 6

Allow the mix to cool and harden completely, about 20-30 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 7

Break the mix into bite-sized pieces and serve, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
