White Chocolate Chex Mix
The perfect holiday treat! White Chocolate Chex Mix is irresistibly delicious, made with crunchy cereal, pretzels, peanuts, and red and green M&Ms. It's sweet, salty, and super easy to make!
Ingredients
- 2 cups rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups gluten-free pretzels
- 1 cup salted peanuts
- 1.5 cups holiday M&Ms divided
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or vegetable shortening
- 2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Add rice chex cereal, corn chex cereal, gluten-free pretzels, salted peanuts, and 1 cup of the holiday M&Ms to a large bowl. Stir until combined.
- Add the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil to a heat-proof bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between until melted. It should take about 60-90 seconds in total.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture. Stir until evenly coated.
- Pour the cereal mixture out onto a baking sheet in a single layer. You may need two baking sheets.
- Quickly sprinkle the cereal with remaining M&Ms and holiday sprinkles before the white chocolate sets.
- Let harden at room temperature for an hour, or speed up the process by placing the tray in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The white chocolate will harden quickly, so you need to work fast to make sure the remaining M&Ms and holiday sprinkles stick to the white chocolate.
- Instead, you can just add all the M&Ms and sprinkles in with the white chocolate, but it looks prettier if they are added after.
- This treat can be gluten-free if you use gluten-free pretzels. Rice and Corn Chex are already made without gluten.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
