Easy Christmas Snack Mix
Ingredients
- 100 g Cheerios
- 50 g pretzels
- 40 g popcorn
- 150 g Shreddies
- 110 g m&ms red and green
- 700 g white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine the Cheerios, pretzels, popcorn and Shreddies; this tends to be easier to do on a large piece of greaseproof paper rather than in a bowl.
- In a microwave proof bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 10 second increments until smooth and silky.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the snack mix and carefully mix to ensure all of the cereal, popcorn and pretzels are covered evenly with the chocolate.
- Sprinkle the m&ms on top and leave to set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes.
- Once cool, break into pieces; some large and some small chunks work best!
- ENJOY!
