Ingredients
Scale
Snack Mix
- 4 cups rice Chex
- 3 cups Cheerios
- 2 cups pretzels
- 2 cups M&Ms
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
Chocolate Coating
- 16 ounces white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, add the rice Chex, Cheerios, pretzels, M&Ms, and dried cranberries. Stir gently to mix them evenly without crushing the ingredients.
- Melt the white chocolate: Place a heavy saucepan on low heat and add the white chocolate chips. Stir frequently to prevent burning and ensure smooth melting. Remove from heat as soon as the chocolate is fully melted.
- Add the chocolate to the mix: Spoon the melted white chocolate in dollops over the snack mix. Stir between each addition to evenly coat the ingredients with the chocolate.
- Spread the mixture: Lay 4 to 6 sheets of wax paper on a work surface. Pour the chocolate-coated snack mix onto the paper. Using a spatula, gently spread it into a thin, even layer.
- Set and break: Allow the mixture to harden for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature. Once set, break the hardened mix into small chunks suitable for snacking.
- Serve or store: Serve immediately for best freshness or store in a tightly sealed container on the counter for up to one week.
