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

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, pastel-colored M&M’s, and mini marshmallows. Mix gently to combine all the dry ingredients evenly.
  2. Melt white chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips or melting wafers into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth without clumps.
  3. Coat mixture: Pour the melted white chocolate over the combined dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently toss everything together to evenly coat all the ingredients with the white chocolate.
  4. Spread mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the coated snack mix evenly on the sheet, ensuring it’s a single layer for quicker setting.
  5. Add sprinkles (optional): Immediately sprinkle the pastel-colored sprinkles over the top of the white chocolate-coated mix before the chocolate hardens to add extra color and texture.
  6. Cool and set: Allow the snack mix to cool and harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps the white chocolate to set and bind the mixture into clusters.
  7. Serve or store: Once hardened, break the snack mix into clusters and serve immediately. Alternatively, store in an airtight container to keep fresh for several days.

Notes

  • Customize this mix with other Easter candies such as robin eggs or mini Cadbury eggs to vary texture and flavor.
  • For a salty-sweet twist, add salted peanuts or popcorn to the mixture.
  • Use candy melts in pastel shades instead of white chocolate for extra festive color and variety.
