Ingredients

Scale

Mix Ingredients

  • 3 cups Chex cereal
  • 2 cups popcorn
  • 1 cup pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup red and green M&Ms

Chocolate Coating

  • 1/2 cup white or dark chocolate chips (melted) – or a combination of the two

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Chex cereal, popcorn, pretzel sticks, and red and green M&Ms until evenly distributed.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the white or dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in short intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Coat Mix: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the combined snack mix and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with the chocolate.
  4. Cool and Set: Spread the chocolate-coated mix on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow it to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.
  5. Serve and Store: Once set, serve the Christmas Crunch Mix in festive containers or airtight jars for gift-giving or holiday snacking.

Notes

  • Use your choice of white, dark, or a combination of chocolate chips to customize the flavor and appearance.
  • For added texture and flavor, consider adding nuts or dried cranberries if desired.
  • Store the mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to two weeks.
  • Make sure the chocolate has completely cooled and hardened before storing to avoid sticking.
