Merry Mix (aka Christmas Crack)
a Christmas favorite, but very, very addicting! From South Your Mouth
Ingredients
- 6 cups Corn Chex Cereal
- 6 cups small pretzels
- 1 16 oz jar dry roasted peanuts
- 1 11 oz bags plain M&M’s
- 2 12 oz bags white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Jimmies Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Combine cereal, pretzels, peanuts and M&M’s in a very large bowl (I usually divide everything evenly between two bowls so I don’t make a mess stirring).
- Line two baking sheets with wax or parchment paper; set aside.
- Melt vanilla chips and oil over simmering heat in a double boiler. OR Combine white chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe bowl then heat and stir at 30-second intervals until chocolate is melted. Be very careful not to overheat the melted mixture as it can "seize up" if it starts to burn.
- Pour melted chocolate over dry ingredients then gently fold until well combined. Spoon mixture onto baking sheets, spread to cover pans then add jimmies on top
- Cool in the refrigerator until set. Break cooled mixture into chunks then store in an air-tight container at room temperature
