Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups Rice Chex Cereal
- 1.5 cups Corn Chex Cereal
- 1 cup Wheat Chex Cereal
- 1 cup Almonds
- 1 cup Pecans
- 1 cup Mini pretzels
- 8 ounces White chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1/2 cup White sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Red & Green M&Ms
- Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Pour the rice Chex cereal into a medium bowl.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring well in between, until melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the rice Chex cereal and toss until it is coated.
- Pour the coated cereal onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles.
- In a large microwave safe bowl, add corn Chex cereal, wheat Chex cereal, almonds, pecans, and mini pretzels.
- Melt butter and pour over the Chex mix, tossing it to coat.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon and pour over the buttered mix, tossing so everything is coated evenly.
- Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute, stopping to stir before microwaving it for 1 minute more.
- Remove from microwave and spread the Chex mix out on a lined baking sheet pan to cool.
- Once both the white chocolate and cinnamon sugar Chex mix has cooled completely, add them both to a large bowl along with red & green Christmas M&Ms.
- Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure to let the mix cool completely before mixing to avoid clumping.
- Feel free to add other mix-ins like dried fruit or different nuts as desired.
- For a crunchier texture, bake the Chex mix in the oven instead of microwaving.
