Ingredients

Preparation Method

Prepare the mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pretzels, Rice Chex, M&M's, and peanuts. Gently toss the ingredients until they’re well-distributed.
Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until smooth and creamy. Pour the melted white chocolate over the dry mixture, making sure to coat every piece generously.
Powdered sugar magic: Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the mixture, gently tossing it until everything is evenly coated.
Chill and set: Spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the white chocolate has hardened.
Break it up and serve: Once the mix has set, break it into small clusters, and serve in a festive bowl. Your Christmas Munch is ready to enjoy!

Tips and Conclusion

For a flavor boost, you can customize this recipe with your favorite add-ins.
