white chocolate chex mix
This recipe is a mash-up of all the things we love in a sweet and salty snack. The only trick is to use the right amount of crunchies and yummies that won’t overwhelm the amount of white chocolate coating. For example, if you want more pretzels, use less Chex cereal. If you have any other favorite ingredients, please share them in the comments. Did I mention it lasts for weeks in airtight storage, but it probably won’t? =^..^=

How To Make white chocolate chex mix
-
1In a large container (like a foil turkey roasting pan), add Chex cereal, pretzels, peanuts, M & M’s, and caramel bits. Mix together well. -
2In a large microwave-safe container, like an 8 cup glass measuring cup, break the chocolate bark into pieces. Microwave for 90 seconds, stir, then melt in 20 second increments until bark is melted and smooth.
-
3Add the white chocolate chips to the melted bark and stir until melted.
-
4Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the Chex mixture and stir together carefully, lifting everything from the bottom with a spatula, until all is coated.
-
5Mist cooking spray or line parchment on cookie sheets or foil pans OR spread waxed paper or parchment over the counter or table, and then spread the Chex mixture out to cool.
-
6Once the Chex mixture is cool and dry, break it into pieces and store it in airtight containers.
