Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- 1 1/2 cups pastel-colored M&M’s (peanut or milk chocolate)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup pastel-colored sprinkles (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or white melting wafers
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, pastel-colored M&M’s, and mini marshmallows. Gently stir to mix evenly.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips or white melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Toss with Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate over the dry ingredient mixture. Gently toss everything together until all pieces are evenly coated with white chocolate.
- Add Sprinkles: Spread the coated mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle the pastel-colored sprinkles over the top if using, so they stick to the chocolate before it sets.
- Set and Cool: Allow the snack mix to cool and harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help the chocolate to set firmly.
- Serve or Store: Once set, break the snack mix into clusters. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container to keep fresh.
Notes
- Customize by adding other Easter candies like robin eggs or mini Cadbury eggs for extra festive flavor.
- Add salted peanuts or popcorn for a salty-sweet twist to the mix.
- Use pastel-colored candy melts instead of white chocolate for a more colorful presentation.
