Equipment

  • Microwave
  • Large bowl
  • spatula or spoon
  • wax or parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces white chocolate
  • 4 1/2 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup pretzels sticks or snaps
  • 1 cup cashews I used salted
  • 1 cup M&M's I have used autumn-colored or Halloween-colored M&M's
  • Sugar eye balls made by Wilton, optional

Instructions

  1. Carefully melt 8 ounces white chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 4 1/2 cups Rice Chex cereal, 1 cup pretzels (sticks or snaps), 1 cup cashews (I used salted), 1 cup M&M's, and sugar eye balls (made by Wilton) if using.
  3. Slowly drizzle the melted white chocolate over the bowl and stir gently to coat the mix evenly, then spread the mixture onto wax or parchment paper and let cool until the chocolate sets.
  4. Break into small pieces and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep fresh.

Notes

If using sugar eye balls, press them onto the mix while the white chocolate is still wet so they stick. Store the finished mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent the white chocolate from softening.
