Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Corn Chex
  • 3 Cups Rice Chex
  • 3 Cups Mini Pretzels
  • 3 Cups Mini Vanilla Wafers
  • 16 Ounces Dry Roasted Peanuts
  • 11 Ounces M&Ms (plain)
  • 2 Jars Sprinkles

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 Bags White Chocolate Chips (12 oz total, not almond bark)
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Maple Extract (optional, not used in this recipe)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a very large bowl, mix together Corn Chex, Rice Chex, mini pretzels, mini vanilla wafers, dry roasted peanuts, and M&Ms until well combined.
  2. Prepare for coating: Line two baking sheets or your countertop with wax or parchment paper to create a non-stick surface for the coated mix.
  3. Melt white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, vegetable oil, and optional maple extract. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes total.
  4. Combine with cereal mix: Immediately pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture and quickly fold together to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Spread and sprinkle: Spread the coated mixture evenly over the prepared parchment paper. Quickly sprinkle with the two jars of sprinkles for a festive touch while the chocolate is still wet.
  6. Set and serve: Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature until the white chocolate cools and hardens. Once set, transfer it back to a large serving bowl and enjoy.

Notes

  • Using vegetable oil helps create a smooth white chocolate coating by thinning the chocolate slightly.
  • If you want to add a hint of flavor, you can include the maple extract, but it is optional and not used in this recipe.
  • Make sure to work quickly when folding in the melted chocolate and spreading the mix, as the chocolate hardens fast.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep the mix fresh and crunchy.
