Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cup Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cup Corn Chex cereal
  • 2 cup mini pretzels
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp refined coconut oil
  • 1 cup M&M's red and green
  • 2 tbsp sprinkles red and green

Equipment

  • 1 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 microwave

Method
 

  1. Line an 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and pretzels in a large bowl.
  3. Microwave the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture.
  5. Gently fold until evenly coated.
  6. Fold in the M&M's and sprinkles.
  7. Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Let the mix stand at room temperature until the chocolate is firm, about 1 hour.
  9. Break into clusters.

Notes

For smooth chocolate, stir every 30 seconds and stop microwaving as soon as it is smooth. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week; freezing is not recommended because the cereal may lose its crunch. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
