Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzels
- 2 cups Chex rice cereal
- 1 1/2 cup mixed nuts
- 1 cup holiday M&M
- 2 cups white chocolate chips 11oz bag
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil for melting
- Optional: holiday sprinkle
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Chex cereal, pretzels, nuts, and Christmas M&M's. Toss the ingredients together until evenly distributed.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together. Stir occasionally to ensure smooth melting. Be careful not to overheat.
- Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold and coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the coated mixture onto the parchment paper in an even layer. This allows the mix to cool and harden.
- If desired, sprinkle festive colored sprinkles over the mix while the white chocolate is still wet for a decorative touch.
- Allow the Christmas Chex Mix to cool and set completely. You can speed up the process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- Once fully set, break the mix into bite-sized clusters. This step creates a satisfying mix of textures in each handful.
