Print Recipe

A festive and addictive snack mix combining crunchy Chex cereals, red and blue candy-coated chocolates, and a smooth white chocolate coating. Perfect for patriotic occasions and easy to make in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups rice Chex cereal
  • 3 cups corn Chex cereal
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup red and blue candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&Ms)
  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • 1 cup dry roasted unsalted peanuts (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss together rice Chex, corn Chex, mini pretzels, and dry roasted peanuts.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and melted unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overheat.
  4. Stir vanilla extract and a pinch of salt into the melted chocolate mixture.
  5. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the coated mix to the lined baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to dry the chocolate coating.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Once cooled, gently toss in the red and blue candy-coated chocolates.

Notes

Melt white chocolate slowly in short bursts to avoid burning. Use a gentle folding technique to coat the cereal without breaking it. Add candy-coated chocolates only after the mix has cooled to prevent melting. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month.
