Ingredients

• 6 cups mini pretzels
• 4 cups Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 cup red M&M’s
• 1 cup blue M&M’s
• 12 ounces white chocolate chips or vanilla candy melts
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
• 1/4 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles

Instructions

1. In a very large bowl, combine the mini pretzels, Chex cereal, mini marshmallows, red M&M’s, and blue M&M’s. Gently toss to mix evenly.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips (or candy melts) with the optional coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and fully melted.
3. Pour the melted white chocolate over the snack mix in the large bowl. Use a large spoon or spatula to gently fold and stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
4. Immediately sprinkle the red, white, and blue sprinkles over the coated mix, ensuring good coverage while the chocolate is still wet.
5. Spread the entire snack mix onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat in a single layer.
6. Allow the snack mix to cool completely at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to speed up setting.
7. Once hardened, break the snack mix into clusters and pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
