Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice cereal, crushed pretzels, mini chocolate chips, and candy-coated chocolate pieces.

Pour the melted marshmallow and peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture and quickly stir to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it firmly and evenly into the pan using a greased spatula or clean hands.

Optional: Sprinkle the top with sea salt for an extra salty-sweet flavor combination.
Step 8
Allow the snack mix squares to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for faster setting.
