Ingredients
1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
4 cups rice krispie cereal
3 cups pretzel sticks (slightly crushed)
1 ½ cups roasted peanuts
Preparation
Prepare the Baking Sheet:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. This will make it easy to remove and break the candy once it’s set.
Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a large bowl, mix together the rice krispie cereal, slightly crushed pretzels, and roasted peanuts. The pretzels should be broken into smaller pieces, but avoid crushing them into powder. You want to maintain a good crunch for the perfect texture.
Melt the Chocolate:

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Be patient and stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
Mix and Coat:

Pour the melted white chocolate over the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until all the cereal, pretzels, and peanuts are evenly coated with the chocolate.
Set the Candy:

Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Allow it to set at room temperature for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. If you’re in a hurry, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Break and Store:

Once the chocolate is fully set, break the candy into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Bonus Tip
For an extra layer of flavor, try sprinkling a pinch of sea salt over the mixture before the chocolate sets. The salt enhances the sweet and salty balance, making each bite even more irresistible.
