Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the Cheerios, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, Corn Chex, Pretzel Sticks, and m&m’s. Gently mix them together to ensure an even distribution of all components.
- Melt White Chocolate: Set up a double boiler and melt the white chocolate according to package instructions until smooth and fully melted. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
- Coat Mix with Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cereal and pretzel mixture. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, gently toss and mix everything to make sure each piece is coated thoroughly. If some pieces remain uncovered, melt the extra white chocolate and add as needed.
