Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, halved
- 1 cup Reese’s Pieces or M&M’s
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Topping
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- Halloween-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, candy corn, halved peanut butter cups, Reese’s Pieces or M&M’s, and mini marshmallows. Gently toss to mix all the components evenly without breaking the delicate candies.
- Drizzle White Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate chips over the mixed ingredients. Toss gently to ensure the chocolate coats the mixture evenly, adding a sweet, creamy layer that binds the mix slightly.
- Add Sprinkles: If desired, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles over the coated mixture for a festive visual appeal and extra texture.
- Set the Mix: Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the white chocolate to set and harden. Let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Serve or Package: Once set, break the Chex Mix into pieces. Serve immediately or package them into individual treat bags for parties or giveaways.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for best flavor and smooth melting.
- Halve the mini peanut butter cups carefully to prevent crumbling.
- For a nut-free version, omit the peanut butter cups and substitute with additional candy corn or other small candies.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- This mix is best enjoyed within 3-4 days for optimal taste and texture.
