Ingredients

Scale

Base Mix

  • 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 1 cup salted peanuts

Coating

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup red candy-coated chocolate pieces
  • 1/2 cup blue candy-coated chocolate pieces
  • 1/2 cup dried strawberries
  • 1/2 cup dried blueberries

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and salted peanuts. Toss them gently to mix evenly.
  2. Melt white chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Coat the mix: Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal and pretzel mixture. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to make sure every piece is evenly coated in chocolate.
  4. Add powdered sugar: Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the coated mixture and toss gently to dust the mix evenly, adding a subtle sweetness and preventing clumping.
  5. Set the chocolate: Spread the coated snack mix onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form an even layer. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes until the chocolate hardens and sets.
  6. Finish with mix-ins: Once the chocolate is set, break apart any clusters back into individual pieces. Return the snack mix to the large bowl and carefully fold in the red and blue candy-coated chocolate pieces as well as the dried strawberries and dried blueberries for a colorful, festive touch.

Notes

  • For faster setting, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
  • Feel free to substitute nuts or dried fruits based on your preference or allergies.
  • Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
  • This snack mix is perfect for Fourth of July parties, picnics, or as a fun gift.
