Chex Mix Christmas Crack - Sweet and Salty with a hint of peppermint. The perfect DIY Holiday Gift
4.2 from 5 votes
Ingredients
2 12 ounce boxes Chex Cereal - pick TWO DIFFERENT flavors
1 16 ounce bag Snyder's Sourdough Pretzel Nibblers
1 7.5 ounce bag Bugles
1 bag Christmas mini M&Ms
White Candy Melts - I used CandiQuik
1 bag Starlight Peppermints
Christmas Sprinkles
Instructions
Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat
In a ziplock bag, crush approx. 30 peppermints (I used the flat side of a meat tenderizer) to crush them very finely
In a VERY large bowl combine Chex Cereal, Bugles and pretzels
Melt the candy melts according to the instructions on the package
In small increments, drizzle the candy melts over the dry mixture and immediately sprinkle the M&Ms, crushed peppermint and sprinkles on the candy (so it sticks to the candy).
Mix gently with a spoon until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Repeat this step until all of the melted candy is mixed in with the dry mixture.
Divide the mixture in half and spread in even layers on the baking sheets.
Let the candy set (if you are in a rush, you can put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes until it sets)
Break apart and serve - you can store in a airtight container
