Reindeer Snack Mix with Pretzels and Red Candies
Ingredients
- 3 cups pretzel twists
- 2 cups square rice cereal
- 1 cup red candy-coated chocolate candies
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine the pretzel twists and rice cereal in a large bowl.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and pourable.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the pretzel and cereal mix.
- Toss gently with a spatula until every piece has a thin, even coating.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Scatter the holiday sprinkles over the top while the chocolate is still wet so they stick.
- Let the mix sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, until the chocolate is matte and firm to the touch.
- Break into clusters, stir in the red candies, and scoop into cups or bags.
