Combining a mix of Rice Chex, Multigrain Cheerios, crunchy pretzels, and creamy white chocolate coating, then finished with colorful Easter M&Ms and peanuts, this snack mix is easy to make and ideal for sharing or gifting during the Easter holiday.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups (112g) Rice Chex Cereal (or any flavor)
  • 3 cups (81g) Multigrain Cheerios (or any flavor)
  • 2 cups (86g) mini pretzel twists

Wet Ingredients & Extras

  • 16 ounces (472g) vanilla almond bark (or white chocolate melts)
  • 1 cup (132g) peanuts (or almonds)
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag Easter M&Ms (any flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper to prevent the snack mix from sticking after combining.
  2. Combine cereals and pretzels: In a large bowl, stir together Rice Chex, Multigrain Cheerios, and mini pretzel twists until evenly mixed.
  3. Melt the candy coating: Melt the vanilla almond bark or white chocolate melts according to package instructions, typically in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in short intervals and stirring frequently until smooth.
  4. Mix candy with cereal: Pour the melted candy over the cereal and pretzel mixture and stir well to evenly coat the ingredients.
  5. Set the mixture: Spread the coated snack mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow it to set at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator to harden faster.
  6. Add peanuts and M&Ms: Once the coating is firm, break the mix into pieces and gently stir in the peanuts and Easter M&Ms for added flavor and texture.
  7. Store the snack mix: Transfer the finished mix to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use any flavor of cereals and M&Ms to customize the snack mix to your preference.
  • Chilling the coated mix speeds up the hardening process and helps pieces set more firmly.
  • Substitute peanuts with almonds or other nuts if preferred or for allergies.
  • Store in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or sogginess.
  • This snack mix makes a festive gift or party favor for Easter celebrations.
