Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (10 oz) package pretzels
- 5 cups Cheerios (plain or Multigrain Peanut Butter)
- 5 cups Corn Chex
- 2 cups peanuts (or mixed nuts)
- 2 (12 oz) packages plain M&M’s
- 2 (12 oz) packages white chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a VERY large bowl or two medium bowls, combine the pretzels, Cheerios, Corn Chex, peanuts, and M&M’s. Set this mixture aside for later.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat on high for 60 seconds, then stir. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds and stir again until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. If needed, microwave for a few more seconds to fully melt the chocolate.
- Coat the Cereal Mix: Pour the melted white chocolate over the combined dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the white chocolate.
- Cool and Break Apart: Spread the coated mixture evenly across two large baking sheets lined with wax paper. Allow it to cool completely so the chocolate hardens, then break the mix apart into chunks.
- Store Properly: Transfer the cooled and broken-apart party mix to an airtight container to maintain freshness until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use plain Cheerios or multi-grain peanut butter Cheerios for added flavor variety.
- White chocolate can be melted in a double boiler as an alternative to microwave melting.
- Store the mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- Feel free to use mixed nuts instead of just peanuts according to preference.
- Make sure to spread the mix in a thin layer to allow even cooling and hardening of the chocolate coating.
