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
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- Halloween-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, candy corn, halved peanut butter cups, Reese’s Pieces or M&M’s, and mini marshmallows. Gently toss the ingredients to ensure an even distribution without crushing the components.
- Coat with white chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate chips over the mixed ingredients, then gently toss again to coat the mix evenly with the white chocolate, which will help bind the snack pieces together slightly.
- Add sprinkles: If desired, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles over the coated mix to add a festive and colorful touch.
- Set the mixture: Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow it to set and harden. Let it rest for about 10 minutes until the white chocolate is firm.
- Serve or store: Once set, break the mixture into pieces and serve immediately or package in individual treat bags for gifting or later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for better melting and flavor.
- You can substitute candy types based on preferences or allergies.
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan white chocolate chips and check candy ingredients accordingly.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
- For more crunch, lightly toast cereal and pretzels beforehand, but this step is optional.
