Ingredients
- 6 cups Corn Chex™ Cereal or Rice Chex™ Cereal
- 2 cups mini pretzel twists
- 1 cup white vanilla baking chips
- 4 tablespoons holiday nonpareils or sprinkles
- 2 cups salted mixed nuts
- 1 cup holiday-colored M&M’s™ Milk Chocolate Candies
Preparation
- Line 2 large rimmed baking pans with waxed paper. Spread cereal onto one of the baking pans; spread pretzels onto remaining baking pan.
- In small microwavable bowl, microwave chips uncovered on High 45 to 60 seconds, stirring after 45 seconds, until chips are starting to melt. If necessary, continue heating in 15-second increments, stirring after each until chips are melted and smooth. Transfer melted chips to small resealable food-storage plastic bag, and cut small corner off one end of bag.
- Drizzle on top of cereal and pretzels; top with sprinkles. Cool 20 to 30 minutes, or until drizzle is set. Carefully break apart cereal and pretzels; transfer to large serving bowl. Stir in nuts and candies.
Tips
- Swap in honey-roasted peanuts for the salted mixed nuts for more sweetness and crunch.
- Take care when microwaving white vanilla baking chips so you don’t overheat them. Heat just until chips start to melt, and stir until smooth.
