Ingredients

Cereal Mix

  • 3 cups Rice Chex cereal Crunchy and light, these square-shaped pieces provide a delightful base for our snack.
  • 2 cups mini pretzel sticks Adding a wonderful salty contrast against the sweet chocolate and candies.
  • 1.5 cups Cheerios These wholesome oats bring a lovely, heart-healthy element to the mix.

Chocolate Coating

  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers The star ingredient that brings it all together with rich sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional) This ingredient ensures smoother melting of the chocolate.

Festive Additions

  • 1 cup pastel-colored M&M’s (Easter mix) Vibrantly cute, these sweet chocolates are essential for that festive touch.
  • 3 tbsp spring-themed sprinkles A fun and colorful addition that enhances the visual appeal.

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex, mini pretzel sticks, and Cheerios, mixing gently.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one until smooth.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture, tossing gently until well coated.
  • While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle in the pastel M&M’s and spring-themed sprinkles, folding them in carefully.
  • Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
  • Once hardened, break the mix into clusters and serve in bowls or jars.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, drizzle melted milk or dark chocolate on top after setting. Consider adding nuts or dried fruit for extra texture.
