Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup Count Chocula cereal
- 1 cup Boo Berry cereal
- 1 cup Franken Berry cereal
- 1 cup Carmella Creeper cereal
- 1 cup salted roasted peanuts
- 1 cup candy corn
Coating
- 1 – 10 ounce bag white chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the popped popcorn, miniature marshmallows, Count Chocula cereal, Boo Berry cereal, Franken Berry cereal, Carmella Creeper cereal, salted roasted peanuts, and candy corn until evenly distributed.
- Melt Chocolate Wafers: Place the white chocolate melting wafers into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave according to package instructions, usually stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the Mix: Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn mixture and gently stir to coat all ingredients evenly, making sure the coating is consistent but not overly mixed to avoid crushing the cereals.
- Chill and Set: Spread the coated mixture onto a tray lined with wax paper in an even layer. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the white chocolate coating to set and harden.
- Serve and Store: Once set, break the Monster Munch into chunks. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and enjoy as a sweet, crunchy snack.
Notes
- Use salted roasted peanuts for a balanced sweet and salty flavor.
- You may substitute the cereals with other fruity or chocolate cereals if preferred.
- If white chocolate melting wafers are unavailable, use good quality white chocolate chips and melt carefully.
- Ensure the popcorn is fresh and not stale for the best texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
