  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: About 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups rice cereal Crunchy base

3 cups plain oat cereal Chewy texture

3 cups pretzel sticks Salty crunch

3 cups holiday-colored candy-coated chocolates Sweet pops

2 cups salted peanuts Protein boost

16 ounces white chocolate + oil Smooth coating

Instructions

1-Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 3 cups rice cereal, 3 cups plain oat cereal, 3 cups slightly crushed pretzel sticks, 3 cups holiday-colored candy-coated chocolates, and 2 cups salted peanuts. Stir gently to distribute evenly.

2-Melt the coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, add 16 ounces white chocolate and 2 tablespoons neutral oil like coconut oil. Heat in short 30-second intervals, stirring after each until fully smooth and glossy. This avoids scorching.

3-Coat the mix: Pour the melted chocolate over the dry ingredients. Stir quickly but carefully to coat everything evenly without crushing too much.

4-Spread to set: Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the coated mix in a thin layer.

5-Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.

6-Break and serve: Once set, break into chunks. Enjoy right away or store as directed.
