Give me all of the sweets! Christmas is a fun time to indulge, and I love making this White Chocolate Chex Mix during the holidays. It’s super simple, absolutely delicious, and always a crowd favorite! Cheerios, rice cereal, pretzels, peanuts, and M&Ms are covered in melted white chocolate and then let cool. Once cooled, break it apart and enjoy until it’s gone! Make it with me!
Holiday Chex Mix
This White Chocolate Chex Mix, also known as White Trash or Christmas Crack, is a holiday classic!
These are classified in my book as a “Christmas crack” recipe because they have a sugar coating and are ridiculously addicting!
Christmas crack is a must-make this holiday season.
What You’ll Need to Make This Recipe
- 36 ounces white chocolate chips (3 bags)
- 11.4-ounce bag m&ms
- 4 cups pretzels
- 2 cups salted peanuts
- 7 cups rice or corn Chex
- 4 cups Cheerios
How to Make White Chocolate Chex Mix
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Place the pretzels, peanuts, Chex, and Cheerios into a large bowl.
- Melt white chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler until completely melted.
- Once the chocolate is melted, pour over the mixture and gently stir with a spatula or your hands. Dump half on one cookie sheet and half on the other, spreading it out.
- Add M&M’s and gently mix a little so the M&M’s mix in with the ingredients. If you add the M&M’s too early, the candy coating might melt and discolor the mix. If you don’t add them until after they cool, they will fall to the bottom of the bowl you serve them in.
- Let the mix cool completely for about 30 minutes – 1 hour, then break into clumps and add to a bowl or baggies to give away!
