Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 3 cups Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups pretzels (mini twists or sticks)
- 1 cup salted peanuts (or mixed nuts)
Decorative Ingredients:
- 1 cup M&Ms (holiday-themed for a festive touch)
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (10 ounces / 280 grams) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
- Gather a spacious mixing vessel and assemble all ingredients for this delectable sweet and salty treat.
- Carefully distribute Rice Chex, pretzels, peanuts, and M&Ms into the container, gently folding to create an even distribution of components.
- Select a microwave-safe or double boiler setup to transform white chocolate chips into a smooth, glossy liquid. Heat cautiously, stirring periodically to prevent scorching.
- Drizzle the molten white chocolate over the dry ingredients, using a silicone spatula to ensure comprehensive and uniform coating of each morsel.
- Transfer the glistening mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly to create a thin, consistent layer that will set smoothly.
- Allow the confection to rest at ambient temperature, permitting the white chocolate to solidify naturally. For expedited setting, consider placing the tray in the refrigerator.
- Once completely hardened, fracture the consolidated mixture into rustic, bite-sized clusters using gentle hand movements.
- Relocate the finished delicacy to a decorative serving bowl or sealed storage container, preserving its crisp texture and enticing appearance for optimal enjoyment within seven days.
Notes
- Customize the mix by swapping out M&Ms for seasonal or favorite candy colors to match holidays or personal preferences.
- Enhance texture by adding unexpected crunchy elements like pretzels, crushed graham crackers, or toasted coconut flakes for extra depth.
- Prevent chocolate from seizing by ensuring no water droplets touch the melting white chocolate, which can cause clumping and uneven coating.
- Transform into a gluten-free version by using gluten-free Chex cereal and pretzels, making the snack accessible for those with dietary restrictions.
