Ingredients
Snack Mix:
- 4 cups Chex cereal

- 1 cup Christmas M&M’s
- ⅓ cup crushed peppermint
Coating:
- 12 oz white chocolate, melted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Chex, pretzels, popcorn, M&M’s, and crushed peppermint.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20–30 second intervals until smooth.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the snack mix and gently fold until evenly coated.
- Spread mixture onto a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Let set for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.

Notes
- Use any Chex cereal you love, rice, corn, or a combo all work great.
- Make sure the popcorn is plain and fully cooled before mixing.
- Melt white chocolate slowly to avoid scorching — microwave in short intervals.
- Add the M&M’s before the chocolate sets so they stick to the mix.
- For extra peppermint flavor, drizzle a little more melted white chocolate on top and sprinkle with peppermint.
- Want color? Add Christmas sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Let the mix fully harden before breaking for clean chunks.
- Perfect for gifting, pack into treat bags or tins!
