This is my go-to recipe for a quick and delicious snack mix. It’s always a hit at parties, and it looks great wrapped in cellophane bags for hostess or teacher gifts. Add a festive touch by changing the colors of the m&m’s to match the season or use Reeses Pieces in the fall. White Chocolate Crunch Snack Mix can be prepared in less than 15 minutes! What are you waiting for?
Ingredients
  • 1 cups M & M’s*
  • 1 cup dry roasted peanuts, salted
  • 2 cups Chex cereal (any kind)
  • 2 cups thin pretzel sticks
  • 1, 12 oz. bag white chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Mix first 4 ingredients together in a large bowl.
  2. Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave according to package directions.
  3. Pour melted white chocolate chips over other ingredients, toss until coated.
  4. Spread on cookie sheets lined with wax paper.
  5. Break into pieces when white chocolate has hardened. If you need to speed up the hardening process, just pop the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  6. Yield: 6 cups
Notes
Use festive red and green m&m’s for a Christmas snack mix or Reeses Pieces for a fall snack mix.

    I have made a similar recipe by Paula Deen, and it was fabulous! I like the idea of the colored M&Ms in here to make it holiday-ish. Thanks!
