Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5 cups Chex cereal
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (340 grams)
- 1 cup pretzels, roughly chopped (100 grams)
Candy and Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup peppermint pieces (170 grams)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (120 grams)
Instructions
- Gather a large gallon-sized resealable bag and combine crispy Chex cereal with crunchy chopped pretzels, ensuring an even distribution of both ingredients.
- Utilize a microwave-safe bowl to gently melt white chocolate chips, heating in precise 30-second intervals and stirring thoroughly between each cycle until smooth and completely liquefied.
- Carefully drizzle the molten white chocolate over the cereal and pretzel mixture inside the sealed bag, using gentle rolling motions to create an uniform coating that envelops every morsel.
- Open the bag and generously dust powdered sugar throughout the interior, resealing securely and vigorously shaking to ensure each piece becomes completely encased in the delicate white powder.
- Sprinkle crushed peppermint pieces across the mixture, incorporating them with delicate movements to distribute the festive crimson fragments evenly and add a refreshing minty crunch.
- Transfer the finished treat into a decorative serving bowl, allowing the white chocolate-coated morsels to glisten and invite immediate snacking enjoyment.
Notes
- Check chocolate melting temperature carefully to prevent burning, using low power settings on microwave.
- Crush peppermint candies finely for even distribution and smoother texture throughout the mix.
- Use gluten-free Chex and pretzels to create a celiac-friendly version of the snack.
- Store in airtight container at room temperature for maximum crunch and freshness up to 5 days.
