Ingredients

  • 2 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cups Cheerios plain
  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 2 cups M&M's
  • 1-2 cups peanuts salted or unsalted
  • 1 package white almond bark 24-ounce

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine Rice Chex cereal, plain Cheerios, mini pretzels, M&M’s, and peanuts.
  2. Break the white almond bark into pieces and melt in a medium pot over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
  3. Pour the melted almond bark over the cereal mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the coated mixture in an even layer on wax paper or a parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Let set for 1 hour, then break into pieces.

Notes

Swap in holiday-colored M&M’s for festive versions (Christmas, Valentine’s, Easter).
Add variety with extras like marshmallows, Reese’s Pieces, or pretzel sticks.
Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 weeks—great for make-ahead party prep.
Double the batch if gifting to neighbors or serving a crowd.
