Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers (10 oz / 280 g)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil or coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- 3 cups Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups pretzels (mini twists or sticks)
- 1 cup salted peanuts (or mixed nuts)
- 1 cup M&Ms (holiday-themed for a festive touch)
Instructions
- Preparation: Assemble a large mixing bowl and gather Rice Chex, pretzels, peanuts, and M&Ms to create a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
- Mixing: Gently fold the dry ingredients together, ensuring an even distribution throughout the container, creating a colorful and inviting base.
- Chocolate Transformation: Use a microwave or double boiler to melt white chocolate chips, stirring carefully to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency without burning.
- Coating: Drizzle the liquefied white chocolate over the dry ingredients, using a silicone spatula to thoroughly and uniformly coat every morsel with a luxurious chocolate layer.
- Setting: Spread the coated mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a thin, consistent layer, then allow it to set at room temperature or expedite the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
- Portioning: Once fully hardened, break the consolidated mixture into rustic, bite-sized clusters using gentle hand movements, creating an artisanal and appealing presentation.
- Storage: Transfer the finished treat to a decorative serving bowl or airtight container, preserving its crisp texture and ensuring optimal enjoyment for up to one week.
Notes
- Prevent Chocolate Burning: Melt white chocolate slowly using low heat, stirring frequently to avoid scorching and maintain smooth texture.
- Ensure Even Coating: Use a silicone spatula to gently fold ingredients, guaranteeing each piece gets completely covered with white chocolate for consistent flavor.
- Control Cooling Speed: Let mixture set at room temperature for natural hardening, or refrigerate for faster setting, depending on time constraints and desired texture.
- Store Strategically: Keep in airtight container at room temperature for maximum freshness, consuming within a week to maintain crisp quality and prevent staleness.
