Ingredients

  • 2 cups (90g) pretzel twists
  • 5 cups (160g) Rice Chex cereal
  • 5 cups (191g) Lucky Charms cereal
  • 1 (10-ounce/283g) bag white candy melts

Instructions

  • Place parchment paper or wax paper on a large cookie sheet. Set aside.
  • Slightly crush the pretzel twists so they’re approximately halves, to make them easier to eat.
  • Add broken pretzels, Chex cereal, and Lucky Charms to a large bowl.
  • Melt white chocolate candy wafers in a microwave safe bowl according to package directions. If needed, add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to the wafers to help them melt easier.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the mix and toss to coat. Spread mixture on cookie sheet and allow to set.
  • Break pieces apart and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor Chex cereal
  • Optional: add 1 cup peanuts or other nuts to the mixture
  • I prefer Ghirardelli Candy Melts (sold in the baking aisle). My second choice would be Candiquik or almond bark.
